More than the gemstones, I was impressed by the character of these businessmen and women. Honest, knowledgeable, hardworking,and looking out for their customers.
Absolutely correct. Strong personable character, along with their honest business dealings.
The most precious Gem stones r the workers themselves, Thanks 🙏🏻
Aw that's cute!
Yea they seem well compensated don’t they?
I needed to hear these kind words friend ❤️
I absolutely adore when a man takes the time to select the perfect ring for his engagement. This sapphire ring is lovely and I am sure she will say YES!
This is such a detailed, fantastic video. I adore saphires and learned so much about my favorite stone from your video. Thank you for sharing your expertise.

Thank you Sir for making this wonderful and simple understanding documentary.this is one of the best knowledgeable documentary film I have seen.Thank you again.
The stone/s seen in this video are beautiful and work their magical beauty. However, as a jeweler I always caution prospective clients about obsessing over the origin of a stone. I will use the term "Burmese ruby" as an example. When people hear the term Burmese, they automatically assume that the gem in question is sublime. In my thirty years of doing business I know that I have seen the most beautiful ruby that I will ever see. It weighs just shy of six carats and is on my mother's hand. This ruby is NOT from Burma, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Mozambique or any other location considered historically important, and I know that nothing will ever come out of the ground in any of those areas that will rival it. When choosing any stone, always go with the quality of the stone over the geographic origin. One can't go wrong. Great video.
What is beautiful to you may not be beautiful to someone else, beauty is very personal thing, this is my personal opinion, origins are given as a standard, and I agree with you when choosing anything go for the quality. Brian are you from UK by any chance?
Very good video. I am a small dealer and jewellery designer working mainly with Ruby, Sapphire, Jadeite and other species. I found your video very interesting, and well presented.

@@SachiraBhanuSometime they throwing gems to dogs without knowing its gem
we live in the ruby valley in Montana..I've hunted sapphires, rubies and garnets for years here you could just pan for garnets. their weight value (mohs) is heavy and the garnets stay in the pan after all else is washed away. garnets are everywhere here, just look for red looking gravel and youre sure to find them!
Masha Allah.
Nice video brother 👍
Proud to be a srilankan
Nice video
Congratulations to you
Love it, so informative. I was thinking the.Alexandrite was too large to be real. I have always been curious about the difference between ruby and spinel
Hi thanks like to shear
Thank you for your time and information
I am just getting the gemstone bug I love love gemstones from India
Super & usefull documents
untill end of world 👌👌🇱🇰🇱🇰👨🎓
Great video 👍
Very motivating video 📹 👌 👏
I also lost a lot on fake rubies until I learned how to work with GIA instruments, the best is a spectroscope, it will tell you 100% correct solution
That is back breaking work, but hard work well worth it when good finds are produced. I really miss a hard productive day that make feel as though something was accomplished to the best of my ability.
Loved it From Bangladesh…

Brother shazim there is a mine in Australia that can help you with your stones he has his owne mines in Queensland north Australia he only sells stones that he and his partner mine for themselves his name is Tim he has a podcast called Tim's adventures you can find him on UA-cam face book I strongly advise you to contact him if not attest attempt to find him using UA-cam Tim's adventures if you are ever stuck please look him up he is the real deal and there is a high chance you can also watch him mine the stone you potentially buy wich is also very Reah to be able to witness the stone being dug up he only sells what he has miined up from his privet mine have a think about this man I think it could be most worth your time ..
Wonder how much they'd cost if they didn't artificially inflate or deflate (hide) or make artificial scarcity.
There is no artificial scarcity. There is a supply chain, and where you are on that chain determines the prices you pay. You can learn gemology, acquire wholesale and gem cutter contacts, negotiate prices with them, and sell the stones for a profit. Or you can pay someone else that already does all of that.
I've always wanted to do this for a job and don't have a clue were to start
Just start
This guy is lucky to have a friend in low but high places like “mazuier”. I have no idea how to spell his name lol.
Try like MAN ZUR, it's a very common name in Islamic community actually
I feel like they went to so much effort to source for a nice sapphire but the setting wasn’t as nice. It kinda made it look cheap 😆
which setting?
The setting was AWFUL...
@@keemarotichai The one the stone is in?! Lol
@@questionmark1152 It depends on what you want the setting to accomplish. In America and Europe, an elaborate setting that contains
many smaller stones with a more ornate design is all the rage now. However, in other countries more traditional designs that focus the viewer's attention on the center stone have never fallen out of fashion. For this very reason, it's of utmost importance that the center stone be as perfect as possible because it stands alone. As much as I adore rings that feature a multitude of smaller stones-in addition to the center stone-there is just something so TIMELESS, so ELEGANT about an engagement ring that has a simple design. This is especially true for Asian customers because it's more common there to pass on an engagement ring from mother to daughter...and sometimes to one's future daughter-in-law. A SIMPLE design never goes out of fashion.
Highest weight in ct of royalblue safire seen in world ?
Hi u got heart shape blue sapphire
Gd day i have also a blood red ruby i need help how to sale this stone tnx
Hi i have a different colour of Sapphier precious stone and looking for buyer.
Is this a docu/movie about a young Abe Lincoln and his search for stones? Who knew Mr. Lincoln started off that way?
That's why there are synthetic sapphires
I did expect synthetic stone.Strong color in Alexandrite is rare.Many must be bought in old jewelry.at auction.
That stone is on Romaine on the green side of anawalt Have Fun searching the dirt my love Hollywood California it's bigger than 30 grains of salt Place side-by-side Square side catches the eye wrapped in that plastic that you would blow into a bubble
It is a good sapphire but have you came in our country we have the most brilliant precious metal ever including blue sapphire
I have that one,but I'm not sure what kind of saphire is this.
Saho Oya Money , Molay thyena ekekuta hamu una nam ?
Nice video.. actually i have blue sapphire here in the Philippines but people don't know what it is , so that why no one can buy it ..they say its a marble but it isn't it a real blue sapphire with 36 carats, is this someone can help how to sell this gem stone??
if he knew that 50k is a drop in the bucket here in the USA he would freak.
Talk about tough work and sketchy paychecks
wow
Theoretically, what if you found the stone in Australia? How much would the same royal blue color be worth from there?
Royal blues goes for about $3 to 5k per carat. It's all about colour and clarity
@@lankaat but also price jumps drastically if is 5ct and above and good color clarity
That's actually very wrong. I'm Sri Lankan and my dad works in the industry, 1 carat of genuine peacock neelam from our country would be valued today at about 40-45K USD. If its done traditionally without carving or colouring it'd go for 50K per carat (Those are very rarely found and only usually brought by the extreme wealthy class and the british royal family)
@@lankaat
