Industry news and educational resources 

Gemstones are naturally occurring minerals (and in some cases, organic materials) that have been cut and polished to showcase their brilliance. Out of thousands of known minerals, only a select few meet the criteria of durability, rarity, and visual appeal that classify them as gemstones.

🧪 What Makes a Gemstone Valuable?

When choosing a gemstone, understanding its physical characteristics helps you make an informed decision. Here's what to look for:

• Hardness: Resistance to scratching, measured by the Mohs scale. The harder the stone, the more suitable it is for everyday wear.

• Color: One of the most important value factors. Some colors are rarer and more desirable.

• Clarity: The fewer the inclusions, the higher the clarity and value.

• Cut: A well-cut gemstone reflects light beautifully, enhancing its brilliance and overall look.

• Origin: Some origins (e.g., Colombian emeralds, Burmese rubies) are particularly prized.
