Attention to the colour of the precious stone

50% of the value of a gemstone is determined by its colour. The golden rule is: neither too light, nor too dark. A beautiful gem should have a balanced and harmonious colour.

Harmony of colours

Its colour should be the same, perfectly visible throughout the gem - this is not applicable to the Real Opal Stone - No angle of the precious stone should be more shaded or lighter, the colour should be uniform.

 Ideal colour

Here is a yes and a no. There are remarkable colours like the famous Blue of the Lab Sapphire or the Red of the Ruby "Blood of Dove" but we must remember that the ideal colour must correspond to each type of precious stone. For example the Periods, its "perfect" hue should be a beautiful lime green, softened by slightly yellow tints, well balanced, clear and luminous. In the case of the Esmeralda, the green should be very intense with reflections of blue. An Emerald too light will have less value than an Emerald with a well defined colour and higher saturation. And staying in the green gems if we take the Dropsied its green is neutral, powerful and very bright.

Attention to the weight of the precious stone

It is mistakenly believed that the total carat weight of the Gems and Stones determines its value that is 10 carats of Diamond are 10 carats of Diamonds.  A gem of 3 carats will have much more value than three gems of one carat each and these will cost much more than 30 gems of 0.1 carat.

 Value not proportional to weight

The dimension of the Precious Stone will be then of great importance at the time of the evaluation of its price. But, attention, its value will not increase proportionally to its weight. Here we have another factor to consider. Let's take the Esmeralda again as an example. Emeralds are therefore highly coveted by collectors because of their exalting colour. 

So before buy them it is must to consider all the factors because you are investing your hard earn money so it is best to get the best Man Made Gemstones.
