Pretty Baubles or Gemstones – What you think is the cheapest is the most expensive & the most useless!

Pretty Baubles or Gemstones – What you think is the cheapest is the most expensive & the most useless!

Are you just buying some STONE in the name of Gemstones?

What you think is cheap is the most expensive.

Don’t Let this happen with you

Cheap Stones Trash Gemology and Trash Results

Things we don’t like and You shouldn’t either

Complete Article with Videos can Be Found at this link

Every new day that dawns, is different and the surprises that come with it are different too. For many of us life has changed tremendously in the last decade singularly. Technology, access to widespread sources of information and delimiting of geographical constraints has really shrunk the world.

However, contrary to expectations of progress and development, there are trends that continue to befuddle. In this age and times, when the postal mail is allegedly breathing its last, it is still the number one choice of propagation for people and organizations that seek to gain from the lack of knowledge on customer’s part and the baseless fears that operate in this realm.

We received a proposal in the post from a wholesaler of stones ( Not gemstones just stones- more on this later) and this prompted us to bring up this issue. It raised serious concern in our mind about the gem quality that is currently afloat in market where planetary / jyotish gems are concerned.

What made us write this piece?

At Gemstoneuniverse we believe in delivering world class products and services. Just have a look at Gemstoneuniverse blog and you know that we have our hands full. Invariably despite having great information about correct pricing of colored Gemstones we gets mails and calls to the effect of why a 3 carat gem is more expensive than a 10 carat one?

These kinds of mails are the result of an overzealous online research which some individuals proudly classify as exhaustive. Most of senders of these mails cannot even distinguish between a Ruby and a rubellite let alone a Natural ruby or a Glass filled one.

Sometimes even a trained eye that has worked for decades and worked with thousands of Gemstones will have no idea of price, The world of Gemstones is so complex.

You can access price Gemstones like a professional by clicking here

The above article is a great resource that takes into account rarity, color shades, saturation, intensity and several other factors that combine towards standard Gemstone pricing.

We hope that this shall put an end to this kind of wasteful communication to that we can direct our energies to those who understand and are interested in real Gem Therapy

A Catalog Showcasing Price of Trash Thermally Treated Yellow Sapphire peddled as Jyotish Quality

One look at the gemstone pictures and the price point at which they are being made available was enough. Well, see for yourself “ This wholesaler has cat’s eye and hessonite gems starting at INR 11 (yes you read it right!) per carat? Or find jyotish grade ruby, emerald or red coral for INR 100 per carat? It does not end here – a diamond of 46-60 cents is available for INR 650. You could check the market around for price of a diamond of this weight and boy, will you be astonished!

Check wholesale price of Diamonds, buyer to buyer price at the link below:

https://www.diamonds.net

Membership to Rapaport reports costs more than this INR 650 Diamond!

There is also a section for antique gems which has a price point running from INR 12,000 to INR 24, 000 per carat. Well, real antique gems and estate jewelry agents will soon be out of job! At this juncture we would like to let you know that this is sometimes just the cost of certification for some gems offered by Gemstone Universe!

According to the Vendor This offer is only for Ethical Astrologers. How ethical you can decide for yourself who is ethical here the Jeweler or the Astrologer

Let’s start at the beginning. This wholesaler is offering this lucrative proposition only to select astrologers, whom he eulogizes and describes in very glorifying terms they are the interpreters of the future, they show the light in hard times and what not. And then this offer is extended to them saying that this wholesaler has proved to be even the astrologer’s good fortune!

It does not take much to realize that this situation is prevailing only because people only have the astrologer or the local jeweler to turn to for meeting this demand.

Please understand that the astrologer is not a gemologist. He is an individual who has grip over the knowledge of astrology. Gemstones and their quality is a different ball game. And now with the several treated gems and synthetic substitutes available, identifying the real jyotish grade gem has become increasingly difficult.

The jeweler on the other hand is neither an astrologer nor a gemologist. He is just a business person, who is in the market to sell and will sell anything in which he sees a good profit margin. And sadly the gems for sale offered by such wholesalers provide no value for jyotish purposes or for those looking at gems as a good investment.

On the other hand what distinguishes Gemstoneuniverse is its specific process from selection of gems to third party appraisal before it finally reaches you. We are the rare breed of astro-gemologists committed to the cause of planetary gemology, who can assure you correct recommendation and flawless gems (free of all doshas as prescribed in the sacred texts).

So before you decide to put your life chances at stake by reposing trust in a local jeweler or an astrologer to provide you remedial gemstones, think twice!

A qualified and certified Astrogemologist is what you are looking for.

Your Cheapest Gem is the most expensive Gemstone.

The fascination of weight leads to maximum exposure of cheap flawed stones in the market. Have a look at these videos below. Video 1 is thermally treated and diffused Yellow Sapphire which makes up 90% of the Indian Market especially Markets in West India And South India. Markets in North India have even more cheaper goods. Mostly Yellow and Blue Sapphires in North India are from Ceylon in the weight range of 5-7 carats. The Astrologer suggests weights in the price range of Sava Paanch Ratti to Sava Saath Ratti of bluff dyed Ceylon sapphires that are poor in color and that becomes white. This story was done earlier and can be accessed at the link below:

https://gemstoneuniverse.com/blog/?p=2078

These Blue Sapphires are poor quality mineral rough. Classified as Non Gem material as per the Gemstone pyramid these goods are dyed and heated and have zero value for Astrological results. These non Jyotish quality Sapphires form the bulk of North Indian markets where the average recommended size is 5.25 ratti- 7.25 ratti? Wonder, how does everyone get the same recommendation despite different planetary positions and needs. Poor quality cheap goods that are cheaper than even diffused Thai Sapphires but are a favourite of the Sava Paanch Raati-Sava Saat Ratti Astrologer. This material is stone not a Gemstone

These are typical average selling price of bluff dyed and treated Blue sapphire. Depending on Customer it is also sold anywhere from INR 3000-INR 5000 per carat( a price point considered to be cheap by the customer)

Graph Indicating Percentage profit and results in Unethical Stone trade

Unethical Trade of Diffused Blue Sapphires. You cheapest Gem is the most expensive

Conclusions:

When you buy a 5 carat Gem at INR 1500 per carat you are being held out trash. You are not wearing a Yellow Sapphire. You are wearing a stone that was white in color became yellow with chemical and heating.

Your INR 7500 is a waste.

There goods are not Jyotish Quality. They will not work.

These stones will not appreciate over time. This stone will not have a buy back value.

The only way Vendor can protect himself is by handing out another candy of exchange but no refunds.

You think you are wearing a bigger gemstone that will bestow big results. What you are wearing is a big stone with no results (Check failure case study above). You are not wearing a Gemstone at all.

Respect Planetary Gemology the sacred science of India that creates miracles everyday and protect you. Go back to the article Do Gems Work- No they Don’t for 90% of the people and if implemented correctly you shall have good results. Before you get influenced by price or what a relative or a loved one has to say check the reality and check the professional credentials of your vendor

Consecration of your talisman â€“ Encrypting your spiritual DNA

August 9, 2011 by gemstoneuniverse Leave a Comment

Consecration of your talisman Encrypting your spiritual DNA

Vedic Puja of Gemstones-The vital purity portion of consecration to get the most powerful results!

The Gemstoneuniverse Difference!

Consecration, by dictionary definition refers to setting apart for sacred use. When we say that your talisman viz. a ring, a pendant or any other talisman is consecrated and energized in your name, it refers to a process where by the talisman is set apart in the scheme of universe to be of singular use to you and only you. The talisman’s vital energy is boosted over several times by Vedic mantras and it’s intrinsic energies are synced with YOUR person, specifically.

Just like fingerprints are unique and your DNA is unique, the combination of your name, nakshatra (constellation) and rashi/ rasi (moon sign) collectively carry the coding of your spiritual identity, your real DNA! When a talisman is made, the process itself is started at an auspicious time that would be conducive to realization of your objectives, using electional astrology. Once the talisman is ready, it is then consecrated and energized!

By consecration is meant the essential process of the shodashopchar puja. According to the Hindu sacred texts only the shodashopchar puja/ consecration of 16 sacred steps is regarded as the complete prayer ritual. Before beginning of the puja, a sankalpa (stricture akin to a sacred oath) is taken chanting the name, nakshtra and rasi of the individual for whom the talisman has been made and objectives are spelled clearly for attaining which, the individual desires to wear the talisman of establish it in a sacred space.

A symbolic representation of the presiding deity of the gemstone talisman is also established and offered pujas.

View the video below that has short clippings of the whole Vedic Pooja of a Planetary Gemstone! In this case a Blue Sapphire was being consecrated for a patron. Note the placement of The Blue Sapphire on the Hand of Lord Ganapathi-The Ultimate Blessing!

The shodashopchar puja essentially means the prayer ceremony of 16 rituals, namely:

-Aavahan or invocation of the deity

-Aasan or giving a worthy aasan or seat

-Paadyam or washing the feet, as has been done traditionally for ages, to welcome a guest.

-Arghyam or offering of holy water sprinkled on the head or given for washing the hands of

-the guest – in this case, the deity ruling the Gem

-Aachaman or purifying of self so as to be worthy of conducting the puja

– Snanam or bathing the deity with water, milk, curds, ghee (clarified butter), honey and sugar (these are then collected as panchamrata/ panchamrita (five nectars) and distributed as prasadam). The deity is again given a cleansing bath with Vermillion, tumeric and flowers mixed in water one by one.

– Vastra or adorning the deity in suitable clothing

-Yagnopaveeta or donning the sacred thread for the deity

-Gandham or applying sandalwood paste

– Alankaar or dressing up the deity as is deserving of a regal entity, with all ornaments, flowers and ornaments. (You will note in the video that the temple doors are closed by the priests for adorning the deity in private.)

-Pushpa or offering of flowers to the deity

-Dhoop or offering incense sticks

-Deepam or offering a lit ghee lamp to the deity

-Naivedyam or offering food to the deity (Please note that the priests prepare/cook this prasadam strictly on their own observing all. It is not got / bought from anywhere or anyone. Only the fruits may be bought.)

-Tambulam or offering paan(betel) leaves and betel nut

-Neerajanam or offering the final aarti

In essence, the powers of the deity are invoked as requested to make abode in the talisman and work for gain of objectives and general welfare of the individual in question. At all times the appropriate mantras are chanted. It is a holistic process that is meticulously carried out at our end so that all you have to do is to wear the gem see your life turn around for the better.

The pujas doneÂ is carried out by Vedic priests who have been rigorously trained at the Vedic Paathshaalas (vedic schools) from their childhood. All processes are followed to the T to ensure that sanctity and purity are maintained and that the blessings of the presiding deity of the Gemstone ring/Talisman and Lord Ganesha- The Lord who is the remover of all obstacles reach you!

Note: Some of you dear patrons send us a mail asking should any mantra be chanted on the date of wearing the ring this is for you- Much as we understand your dedication to do these procedures please understand that your Vedic Gemstone Ring/Pendant/talisman has undergone a full fledged Shodashopchara pooja. Â To get the best benefits please just follow the instructions sent to you to get the best results! You do not have to perform any other procedures. Keep your therapy error free.

Here is what Kollywood Today has to say for him:

Itâ€™s a season of techies picking the new-hat as an actor. Karthik, a Bangalore based model doesnâ€™t seem to be exclusion. Yeah! His insatiable passion for films and acting has got hop-skipped into showbiz with a thriller film â€˜Deadly 2â€™. This Kannada film features him in the role of a Don and he cannot stop singing praises of director Ravi Srivatsa for offering him a good start in spite of being a newcomer.

Karthik is not a newcomer, when it comes about facing the lens as he has already worked in few commercials. But he admits that there are lots of differentiations between these mediums. Sooner, heâ€™ll be a part of Bollywoodâ€™s top-charting filmmaker Vishal Bharadwajâ€™s film.

The Color of Romance â€“ Colored Stone Engagement Rings.Celebrities experiment with Colored Gemstones with Flair & Style.

The Color of Romance â€“ Colored Stone Engagement Rings

Diamond engagement Rings Take a Backseat against Colored Gemstones Magic-Celebrities experiment with Colored Gemstones with Flair & Style.

The Royal wedding was the flavour of the first half of the year and the toast of the event was the lovely Kate Middleton who carried off Late Princess Dianaâ€™s 18 carat Blue sapphire and diamond engagement ring with quite a flourish. The now Duchess of Cambridge may infact have fired a trend here with a coloured stone engagement ring! Also worth here a mention is the engagement ring presented to Duchess of York, Sarah Ferguson by Prince Andrew, which was a stupendous ruby surrounded by diamonds.

While diamonds of various cuts and colours rule the roost when it comes to wedding and engagement jewellery across the world, especially among the whoâ€™s who, of late, colored gemstone engagement rings seem to be gaining favour.

Coloured gemstones have tremendous visual appeal and can mesmerize the beholder with their amazing vibrancy and richness. All it takes is a design that does justice to the coloured gemstone.

Just take a look at the gorgeous 5 carat ruby, flanked by two diamonds in Jessica Simpsonâ€™s engagement ring. The ring is a Neil Lane creation, a designer who is also known to experiment with pink and yellow diamonds for bridal couture jewellery.

Then there is the screen goddess Penelope Cruz who sports a three carats blue sapphire, set amid diamonds ring. Diamonds are often used as accent stones around precious colored gemstones as they enhance the color of the gemstone manifold and help bring out its natural beauty.

There is also the five carat plus yellow diamond engagement ring of the one time American Idol winner and country singer Carrie Underwood that makes a case for colored gemstone rings to grab the shine from the traditional diamonds. As the taste for the exquisite grows and the pockets run deeper, coloured gemstones have the potential for satisfying the demands of this new market.

Tradition aside there is also something of a joy for the rule breaker, the ones who like to live it a little more edgy, just like Carmen Electraâ€™s Black Diamond ring. Notwithstanding all the superstitions attached to the black diamonds, she rather flaunts her rock that proclaims her being in a league of her own!

While the royals may have had a bias for colored stone engagement rings, the interest of people everywhere in the colored gemstones is getting piqued. And this gives the colored gemstone industry lots to look forward to.

Guard yourself against Useless Fake Pearls for Jyotish Gemstone Therapy-Don’t deceive yourself. Keshi Pearls, South Sea Pearls & Chinese Pearl are cultured and Non Natural Pearls.

June 13, 2011 by gemstoneuniverse 3 Comments

Guard yourself against Useless Fake Pearls for Jyotish Gemstone Therapy-Don’t deceive yourself. Keshi Pearls, South Sea Pearls & Chinese Pearl are cultured and Non Natural Pearls.

A Sad event and several time wasting similar communication prompted this post. Last year a patron had taken a Gemstone recommendation from us. Her primary motive for reaching out to us was to bring some harmony in her marital life and relief from stress. Now she has Moon in Scorpio– a debilitating position discussed in detail by Guruji Shrii Arnav. You can access that resource at the link below:

http://www.gemstoneuniverse.com/

planetarypositions.php

To cut a long story short, she was recommended to wear an unheated Yellow Sapphire and a Natural Pearl. This year June 2011 we hear from her saying:

I have been wearing Pearl and Yellow Sapphire as per your recommendation but things have gone bad to worse and my Husband has filed for a divorce

Now these Gemstones were not sourced from us. In most of these cases of failure and incorrect therapy we try to be as factual as possible and asked her to scan across her Gemstone certificates including the X Ray Radiography for the Pearl so that we could assess if she was actually wearing Jyotish Quality Gemstones or not.

Her reply was: Do I need to get the radiography report now that He has already filed for Divorce?

We have hundreds of such case studies and we shall now be starting a section for the same!

But again request all of you the nth Time- Read the Article-Do Gemstones Work – No They Don’t for 90% of the People by Guruji Shrii Arnav and you shall find your solution there. If you read it a hundred times you shall get a new message that has the potential to alter the Karmik Life Map. Please click the link below to read the article:

Keeping our discussion short and crisp about these Pearls featured below. Check out the Video below for the exhibits information. All these Pearls are imitation Pearls with zero value in Gem Therapy. They cannot be used for Moon energy. They will deliver absolutely zero results to be used as a Moon Gemstone. They are 100 % cultured imitation pearls. Cheap, beautiful but zero results.

To know more about what exactly is a Real Natural Pearl please click the resource below:

http://www.p-g-a.org/pearls.html

To be used in the sacred science of Jyotish and Planetary Gemology a Pearl has to be fully natural, made in nature by accident, full of lustre and not by irritating a living organism and calling it culture? Just visit a Pearl Farming area and see how surgery is performed on the mollusc and what extra things are done to increase yield. You will never wear or patronize these Pearls again.

Exhibit A

Keshi Pearl: A keshi pearl is a non-beaded pearl formed by accident as a by-product of a pearl culturing operation. Among all these Pearls this one is used by unethical traders citing it as original due to its irregular surface. Keshi has its use in jewellery but for planetary Gem therapy purposes it is useless. Some traders even go a bit further in their sales pitch and call it as a Burmese Pearl which again is not a natural pearl. We did a detailed story on Burmese Pearl and that can be found at the resource below:

Exhibit B

South Sea Pearl

A South Sea pearl is pearl produced by the Pinctada maxima mollusk. They are currently cultured in areas throughout the Indian and Pacific Oceans, primarily in Australia, the Philippines, Indonesia and Myanmar. Unethical traders cite the dots on the Pearl or a protrusion to peddle it as Natural. Most auction sites will have vendors with the higesht quanity of cheap south sea pearl. They sell it calling it as Moti and 100% real. Ask for a X Ray certificate and these vendors shall vanish in thin air. This is the highest selling pearl by unethical elements.

Most of the south sea pearls are cultured and only a few rare ones-the miracles of nature are natural.

And if they are natural they will be accompanied with a X Ray ReportÂ to find out if there are really natural or not.

Exhibit C

A cheap Chinese Tissue nucleated button Pearl. This is the most commercially abused Pearl quality especially in India. You can buy a Kilo of them for Rs. 1000($22), Yes 1 Kg for Rs.1000 should you reach the right source. Again it is not natural and Zero Value for planet moon.

Exhibit D

A Pearl Stand necklace from Hyderabad. Under the royal Patronage of the Nizams Hyderabad developed as a major Pearl centre. Pearls come in many shapes and of particular interest is the ‘rice-pearl’ – a tiny variety, available in great depth in Char Kaman, Gulzar Haouz and General Bazaar. Around 300 years ago there was a rich influx of Arabian Pearls in Hyderabad. But now Hyderabad is known for rice pearls. Most of the Natural Pearls have gone and what is traded are the above 3 varieties in the desolate hope to cash on the fame of the past. More than 99 percent of pearl coming is cultured pearl which again is cheap and is of no value as a Moon Gemstone. Here is what Wikipedia has to Say about Hyderabad Pearls.

In the village of Chandanpet just outside Hyderabad, almost the entire population is engaged in the delicate art of drilling pearls. A skill they have practiced for generations, making Hyderabad one of the largest drilling centres in India. Once the pearls are drilled, they are boiled for about four days to bleach them and rid them of their dark color. They are placed in glass bottles containing hydrogen peroxide, water and ether and sunned for four or five days in glass sun boxes with a mirror base. Finally they are washed and separated through series of different shapes and sizes.

Now are these natural?

Use these Pearls as Jewellery or as adornments. But don’t bluff yourself into believing that this cheap material will work. It will not.

Always wear a Natural Pearl to get good results from Gem therapy and Insist on a Certificate cum x ray report. That single report will cost more than all these exhibits put together. Everything in that video put together will cost less than a proper certification cum xray.

If you budget does not allow you to wear a Natural Pearl then opt for a Natural Blue Sheen Moonstone. If your budget does not allow that too then wait and accumulate funds slowly for a Real natural Jyotish Quality Pearl -a miracle of nature capable of creating a miracle in your life. Don’t deceive yourself.

Addendum on 29th July 2011

We have no idea whether she read this report or not but what is ironical and unfortunate is that in 11th July 2011 we received a scanned sheet of paper which she says is a certificate. This is no certificate. It is a paper that says something to the effect of – Sajha Moti Nu Praman Patra and goes on to say as per our opinion Pearl is real and all testing is done at Owner’s risk.

Excuse us, we do not want your opinion. We want the facts that you should state on the certificate after proper X-Ray diffraction tests. If you have a certificate similar to one she sent, you know what to do.

Gem price per carat/The gemstone Pricing Index- The definitive guide to put correct Gem prices like a professional

In an ideal, relaxed Â and less complicated world we would have been tempted to put the Title of this article as Gemstone Pricing for dummies or Price Gemstones like a Pro in 10 minutes or but alas the world of Colored Gemstones is not so simple. We see individuals spending hours on end search for gemstones price list/ gem prices list or gemstone pricing index and receive countless mails inquiring about the same.

Pricing of Gemstones is actually as complicated as their color itself. At the very outset the singular truth we can tell you is that there is NO Gem Price List, No list that enumerates Gem price per carat and there is Not a Gemstone Pricing index. If there was an excel sheet like that wouldnâ€™t all of us want one!

And if you can put the price of a Gemstone accurately a lucrative career awaits you. Gemologists and Gem dealers would be willing to pay thousands of dollars just for your opinion let alone retail customers!

Colored Gemstones come in a multitude of hues, tones, shades, shapes and that makes it difficult to have a singular definitive price or a gem price index unlike Diamonds where range of color and shapes is very limited.

The World of Colored Gemstones Starts where the world of Diamonds ends and is a seamless territory!

Then what is the way to identify the correct Gem Price. Is there a methodology to pay the correct Gem Price that delivers value for you and ensures your safety and protection?

Here are the top factors that affect Gem prices. Focusing on this approach can get you good results even if they are not the perfect results. But if you have this information and implement it in actual practice then results can be quite satisfactory

Factors affecting Gem Price/ Key points to know how to price a Gemstone correctly:

Rarity is directly proportional to Gem Price-Welcome to the world of Geometrical Progression.

There are several factors that determine the price per carat of precious colored gemstones. The prices are directly proportionate to several factors. And also the prices of gemstones do not increase with mathematical progression, rather with geometrical progression.

For example, if a gem, which weighs 1 carat, may cost $500, but if all things remain equal the same gem at 2 carats may cost upto $2000 per carat just because a 2 carat Gem would be rarer than a 1 carat Gem. There is no set price range for colored gemstones. The price for the same colored gemstones may vary from as little as $10 per carat upto even $10000 per carat depending upon the quality and several other factors.

And for the classic colored gemstones-The classic Big Three of Colored Gemstones- Rubies, Emeralds and Sapphires the costs increase dramatically as the quality and size of the gem increases. Below are listed some of the factors that determine the cost of colored gemstone.

Rarity and Diversity- Rarity is directly proportional to Gemstone price

Gems that are rarer than others command a higher price per carat than the gemstones that are available relatively easier. Gems like Diamonds, Sapphires, and Rubies are more expensive than gems like Garnets, Amethysts or Peridots etc. Having said that it is also important to state that even though Sapphires, Rubies etc are more expensive that than the others it also has to be said that some gemstones are more rare than others, like Rubies are far more rare that Sapphires. Hence a Ruby would be of a higher price than an Amethyst just because Ruby is rarer than an Amethyst.

Taking Rarity to another level letâ€™s take the price among various Rubies.Â A Burma Ruby would be priced higher than a Thai Ruby. Why? Because it is more rare than the Thai!.Â Does this finish the rarity story? No not yet. Itâ€™s just starting.

Now you know Ruby is more expensive than a Peridot, You also know Burma Ruby is more expensive than a Thai. So what is complicated? Color! A Imperial Pigeon Blood Burma Ruby Â would command a higher price than a pinkish red Burma Ruby and the story goes on.

Hence all Burma Rubies will not have the same price. This is the reason why you cannot have a Burma Ruby Price List or a Ceylon Sapphire price list or an emerald price list.

Nature makes precious colored Gemstones over million of years and natureâ€™s capacity to replenish fine specimens is limited.

Rarity is the biggest factor that affects Gem pricing and is directly proportional to the Gem Cost.

Precious Gemstones unlike apples do not grow on Trees!

In todayâ€™s world you even pay a premium for fully natural, organic apples without a wax coating so what to speak about Gemstones!

Gemstone Color: The Most Vital Factor in Gemstone Pricing.

The most important factor that determines the price per carat of a colored gemstone is COLOR! Â The word color in the world of Gemstones is not so simple. Color is everything in a colored Gemstone. Gemstone color is made up of Hue Tone and Saturation.

The purest color begets premium price. By purest we mean that minimal to no hues of other colors are present in it, have high levels of saturation and also have the best tones. Also one must keep in mind that color may vary from region to region.

Just focus on one color to keep this simple. Are all greens same? No they are not.Â Notice the sheer range of Green.

Chart Depicting the Tone Chart depicting Saturation

Colored Gemstones Tone Chart- Vivid Tones will increase Gem Price.

For example a Zambian mine would produce an Emerald of a Vivid and rich green color, where as a Colombian Emerald would produce a spring grass green color.

Notice some of the Emeralds rings already featured on the Gemstoneuniverse blog. You can search the blog and you shall also get the pricing for each of these rings. See and evaluate how hue, tone and saturation affect the price.Whatever the shade of color that is native to that region, the purity of color is the one of the most important factor to determine the price per carat of a colored gemstone.

Clarity: How Clarity Affects Gem Pricing.

The clarity of a gemstone is also one of the important factors that determine the price per carat of a colored gemstone. The rate of a gemstone would increase dramatically as the clarity of a colored gemstone increases.

The lesser the visible inclusions the higher the price per carat. Although inclusions that do not hinder the beauty or color of the gemstones are generally acceptable!

And also fine inclusions are proof that the gem is natural and untreated. However there are some gemstones in which fine characteristic inclusions are accepted, like Emeralds and to some extent Rubies. Gemologists refer to these fine inclusions in Emeralds as Jardins.

Note the difference of clarity in the two emerald rings given below.

Notice the clarity in this emerald ring and compare with the emerald ring given below Compare Clarity with the Emerald ring above

Cut/Shape: Symmetry is Directly Proportional to Price.

The cut of a colored gemstone also has significant bearing on the price per carat. Some gemstones are traditionally cut in particular shapes. Like the Emerald has always commanded more price when fashioned as an Emerald cut, and Sapphires are considered more desirable in the oval cuts.

What ever may be the cut, it has to be made sure that the maximum play and penetration of light takes place so as to bring out the brilliance and scintillation of the color of the gemstone.

The more masterfully crafted the gemstone the better the polish and blemish free surface the costlier the gemstone.

Exotic and unusual shapes, like round, Pear etc are priced at a premium as shaping the gems into these shapes leads to more wastage of the raw material/gem roughs.

Chart Showing Various Gem Cuts

Gem Weight and Size and its affect on Gemstone Pricing.

As the weight of the gemstone increases so also the price. If the above given factors are met and a gemstone increases in weight the price per carat of the colored gemstone increases manifold.

As mentioned earlier the price of precious colored gemstone increase with geometrical progression. For example a gemâ€™s price may increase in geometrical progression for weights upto 3-4 carats, but colored gemstones of 4 carats and above are priced at a premium even above the regular geometrical progression, as the availability of colored gemstones at such sizes is extremely rare.

Even gemstones that are calibrated are more expensive as the wastage percentage increases in order to get gems to one size and shape.

Treatment or Lack of Treatment and its effect on Gemstone Pricing!

Colored gemstones that are not treated/ enhanced in any manner so as to increase its color or clarity are gemstones that command premium prices. Treated gems are relatively cheaper are may be accepted in few jewelry markets, but untreated and natural gems always have and will always be a premium.

It has become extremely rare in todayâ€™s market to get untreated colored gemstones with good color and clarity levels, so and untreated colored gemstone with good clarity and color command a premium price.

So a heated Blue Sapphire of the same color, cut, carat weight might be cheaper than an Unheated one by 4 times and maybe more expensive than a diffused one by 200 times. Lack of treatment is directly proportional to Gem price.

Origin and its effect on Gemstone price!

Even though the origin does not often have much bearing on the price of a colored gemstone, the price may shoot up for some gemstones from certain regions. Like a Burma Ruby comes at a huge premium as availability is extremely rare due to several factors.

So also Kashmir Blue Sapphires come at a price out of reach of most of the seekers of colored gems as mining in this region has stopped and also the color Cornflower Blue peculiar to this region has been placed at a premium by gem connoisseurs.

Origin and its affect on Gemstone priceSupply and availability: Depending upon the source that the colored gemstone has been purchased from the price per carat may vary drastically. From the Gem Mine to the end customer the gemstone passes through many hands. Starting from the mine owner to the retailer!

As the gemstone passes from hand to hand, the price increases manifold as each person in the chain keeps some profits and by the time it reaches the end consumer it is out of reach of the common man. So depending upon whom you purchase a colored gemstone from the price may vary by upto 250 â€“ 300%.

Political/ economic Factors-Other Factors that effect Gem Pricing!

Gemstones are mined and sourced from areas that are not exactly Picture perfect. Imagine sourcing Rubies from Madagascar with rats and roaches for company, or going to Burma to search for a Natural ruby and getting the company of mafia, military police, mosquitoes and snakes as a bonus or getting emeralds from Afghanistan or Colombia. There are several other factors like this one that effect gem price. Of course there is no Price for a Human Life.

So keep in mind the above factors and determine that if you are getting a colored gemstone at a price too expensive for your taste, it probably is! A fine colored gemstone is hard to come by, and to get one that satisfies the above criteria is harder still to get. Colored gemstones are miracles of nature and also very rare. They not only give you lasting value but also color up your life!

Contentment is a Pearl of Great Price and whoever procures it at the expense of a ten thousand desires makes a wise and a happy purchase.
