Why are Colored Gemstones a good investment?

There are many reasons why Colored gemstones can be a great investment when you compare them to other commodities like Gold, Real estate,  or even Diamonds.

The following reasons for these are mentioned below along with explanations:

· Colored Gemstones are very under valued as of right now. This is because of the vast number of users not being able to get over their Diamond jewellery for a consistent investment. Now the colored gemstones are all going up in price, they have been under valued and now the users realize the importance of colors in their lives.

· Colors are the new fashion. The new trend is color. Everyone is wearing colors, the black and white dull trend is gone and out of the window for now atleast. For this reason, we say that Colored gemstones will never go down in value, because colors for the next 5-6 years (according to our 17 years of experience in wholeselling gemstons) will be in. No one can get bored of colors.

· The rough availability of gemstones from Brazil and Africa are running out and is going down. This is happening because most of the deposits of gemstones are on the surface and most of the surface is already mined. Now to go deeper into the earth you would require a lot of very expensive machinery which means a very high overhead costs will be attached in the mining of the rough gemstones.

· Market sentiments  and the economy play a very important role in the increase in pricing of colored gemstones. Since this is true that the worldwide economy is getting better, especially the American economy has recovered fully from the recession, and finally now is getting stronger day by day, we know that a lot of Colored gemstones jewellery is being exported to USA. The rising demand from that single country can soar prices upto a few folds. This happened in a gemstone called Tanzanite when Tiffany promoted this gemstone, all American consumers started liking Tanzanite and it became a huge hit all over the world as the world fell in love. Also many other Asian economies are getting better which brings me to the next point.

· Since many Asian economies are getting better, the love they have historically for gemstones, be it Semi precious stones or Precious stones, Asian countries like China, India and Indonesia can cause a huge impact on the Colored gemstones market. Not just can, but infact the Chinese economy boom has caused a lot of investors and high end elite people to invest in Gemstones, the prices of Paraiba tourmaline have doubled tripled, one of the most important dealer of Paraiba from Brazil says.

The Ambergris is simple to confuse with amber when it clean ups on a beach. However, Greeks referred amber as “elektron that means formed by the sun a reference to the vivid gold or orange color of amber gemstones. Amber is usually yellow or yellow brown in color and it is attractive when polished.

Amber takes hundreds of years to shape as well as can be found in all parts of the world, but the most significant amber deposits are usually ground in the region of the Baltic Sea. Actually around 85 percent of international amber reserves are placed in the Kaliningrad Oblast in Russia.  It is believed to have a great link to the earth as well as its evolution that is why putting amber is said to ground the wearer and to calm feelings with producing positive attitudes.

Green was the Color of the Year. Emerald was the Gemstone of the Year. What is Future of Emeralds?

In today’s article I will be discussing about what is the Future of Emeralds after being acknowledged as Gemstone of the Year 2013. But, before that let’s have a brief study of Gemstone Emerald itself.
The color of Emerald gemstone is velvety green, although more recently a bluish green seems to be the most desired color. Emerald is a variety of mineral species- Beryl which includes Aquamarine and other colors also. Pure form of Beryl is colorless but the presence of traces of chromium and vanadium gives this fabulous gemstone its rich coloring. Emeralds are the birthstone for the month of May and anniversary gemstone of the couple who are celebrating their 20 and 35 years of their marriage.

The best sources of Emeralds are mined in Brazil, Colombia and Zambia but it can also be found in India, Pakistan, Russia, Australia and the United States of America. Zambia produces a quality very nearer to the World leader, Colombia.
The color of the most valuable and the highest quality Emerald is the color of the young grass as flawless Emerald are extremely rare to be found. All Emeralds are typically categorized by their flaws or by the place of their origin. An ideal Emerald should be highly transparent, with a good even color and clarity. All these are important but overall the color of the Emerald is the key factor.

4C’s of Emerald
Color: The most appealing color of the Emerald is bluish green to pure green. The color should be evenly distributed with no visible eye zoning. If the Emerald has too much of blue or yellowish hue then it does not fall under the category of Emerald rather it is color of one of the Beryls. The strength of the color of Emerald might not be equalized anything else in the nature. The presence or absence of relative amounts of chromium, vanadium and iron decides the exact color of Emerald crystals. Many times Emeralds are classified on the basis of locations of their mines.
2. Clarity:  In general trade practices Emeralds with eye-visible inclusions are acceptable as eye-clean crystals are extremely high priced and so very rare. In Emeralds, transparency and clarity are very inter-related. But, when the inclusions have negative effect on clarity and transparency the price of Emerald falls down drastically.
                      
Cut: Cutting of an Emerald is the most difficult task. A small mistake will greatly reduces the price of the Emerald. Here are some characteristics which make Emerald difficult to cut.
Relatively all Emeralds have fissures. Cutter has to design the facets in such away which minimize the effect of fractures on a finished stone.
The inherent fractures and relatively low hardness (Emeralds has been rated 7-7.5 on Mohs Scale of Hardness) makes them prone to damages during cutting, polishing and setting. The breakage of any corner is a great fear.
As the color is the most important factor in deciding the Emerald’s value. A cutter should take special precautions to maintain the even saturation throughout the gemstone by adjusting the number of facets and shapes according to the color.
                 
  4.  Carat Weight: Carat Weight plays an important role especially in     high quality Emeralds. The price of Emerald can rise dramatically as the size increases.

Emerald gemstones are mostly found with cracks and fissures. To reduce the appearance of flaws and enhance the color of the Emerald a technique called Oiling with Cedar Oil is used. The stone is soaked in green-tinted Cedar oil having the similar refractive index that of Emerald to fill the surface cracks and fissures. This is a wide accepted trade practice. Another method of filling the fissures involves, using of proxy resin. This is a heat and vaccum technology. Resin becomes the part of the Emerald and hides its natural flaws. A fair quantity of Emeralds from Brazil and Colombia has been treated by this method.
Due to the Emerald’s high popularity and high value, the origin of imitations becomes obvious. It has been long since Synthetic Emeralds came into existence. They are typically indistinguishable to the naked-eye. Synthetic Emeralds with no flaws and fissures are expensive but not as actual Emerald.
Future of Emerald: Emeralds are the most favorite gems for the jewellery mounting. These green gems are the symbol of classiness and style. The future of Emeralds is very brighter than it’s past because:
Emerald was the Color of the Year: Pantone declared Emerald as the Color of the Year 2013. The green of Emerald is lively, radiant and lush. “Green is the most abundant hue in the nature, the human eyes sees more green than any other color in spectrum”-said by Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute. Green is a symbol of growth, beauty, unity and new-life. In fact, this radiant jewel has been used in fashion, beauty, home-décor and design also.
2.  Resemblance to the color of Mother Earth:  The Earth when seen from the space is an orb of blue with patches of white, green and brown. The green included Emerald looks like Earth with the natural and dirty trees. The green color of Emerald is only gemstone that has proper natural green. Other green stone like Peridot has yellowish-green color, Green Quartz has grey-greenish color, Tsavorite Garnet has bright yellowish green to deep grassy greens and Aquamarine has light blue to bluish green in color.
3. Glorifying History: Emeralds are “evergreen”. Every culture has some historical value attached with Emeralds. It is a stone which has been loved from civilizations. The history of Emeralds is long and prolific. This stone was brought and sold Babylonian market in early 4000B.C. The Egyptian Queen Cleopatra was the most famous admirer of the Emeralds. This green gem is the centre piece of Russian crown jewels, part of the collection of Iranian State treasure and a favorite of Indian Emperors. Emeralds have long association with status and luxury.

4. Availability in various price ranges: Emeralds price is still fair and Emeralds are available for every type of customer price range. Commercial Emeralds can be 1$/carat whereas high end Emeralds can range even above 10,000$/carat. And there is lot and lot of middle range Emeralds 500$/carat-1000$/carat which are very heavily demanded in the market. Emeralds have the potential to satisfy the need of every type of customer of his.

 5. Orchid as the Color of the Year 2014: Pantone has announced      orchid as the color of this year. The unique combination of Purple Amethyst (orchid color stone) and Emerald (lush green color) looks mesmerizing. In today world, everyone wants something exquisite and contrasting combination of green and purple has been very much admired by the customers. This will also helps the jewelry designers to use their left over stock from the last year. So, the Emeralds will be in demand even this year also.

A year ago, Emeralds Auction in Singapore yields handsome amount to Gemfields. They are the intelligent people and investing in a right direction. In the last of year 2012, they purchase Emerald mines of Zambia and in that vary year Emerald was declared as Color of the Year. Later in 2013, Gemfields owns Amethyst mines and again a co-incidence happened, Orchid was declared as Color of the Year 2014. There has lot of promotions done by Gemfields for Emeralds by announcing company-wise rebranding and unveils new global campaign to promote Zambian Emeralds.

Conclusion: The Future of Emeralds is as enshrine as its color. Glorifying history of Emeralds contributes a lot for its excellent future. People from all countries around the world love Emerald for its various healing and mystical properties. Moreover, the color green of Emerald is a symbol of “Green Revolution” in this world of extensive industrialization. Pantone declared Emerald Green color as the Color of Year 2013. In spite of many efforts by Gemfields in promoting Emerald as a global stone something is restraining them. The need of the hour is to promote Emeralds like Diamonds were promoted by De Beers. De Beers launched their campaign “Diamonds are forever” in the year 1930. That campaign has survived till this date in the hearts and minds of the people Diamonds as a rock associated with love, romance and commitment. Hopefully something like this will be seen soon in the future!!

Why Are All Gemstone Rough Going Up In Prices? Is Mother Earth Really Tired?

Gemstones are still the first choice for most individuals as there's no deficiency of alternatives out there with choices extending from the customary emeralds, rubies and sapphires to the more contemporary tourmalines and kunzites.

Today, colored stones are utilized as a part of gems for different reasons, for example, feel, current patterns and cost adequacy. The universal gems business utilizes more shaded stones like sea greens/blues, blue topazes, sapphires and the ripples of those patterns are obvious here. They additionally offer the purchaser a more varied choice".

Cost Is Too High!
The climbing cost of precious stones is driving interest for semi-valuable hued stones, which offer richness at an extraordinary expense. There has been an increase in the fame of rose cut, uncut and champagne-hued jewels.

There are kaleidoscopic gemstones, other than precious stone that look great as well as have recorded relationship to love. Red stones symbolize the heart, and in this manner, energy and a pizzazz. With red, one right away considers rubies yet the same imagery might be passed on with red garnets or red tourmalines. With regards to green, which symbolizes devotion and congruity, aside from emeralds, stones, for example, green garnets or green tourmalines, would work well as well.

Valuable And Priceless
Multi-hued gemstones don't offer the same characteristic esteem as precious stones, rubies, sapphires, and emeralds; however their appeal lies in their value and configuration potential. Expanded interest for bespoke gems, coupled with value awareness has implied designers are turning to minimal known pearls for both abnormal color impacts and a similarity of moderateness. Therefore, costs of lesser-known gemstones are likewise steadily climbing.

We have recognized that ladies pay special mind to gems pieces that match universal patterns. Individuals are ready to game striking pieces and display gemstones of distinctive shades and sizes. We endeavor to make gems that are high couture, altered and uncommon. The endlessly well known choices of emeralds, rubies, pearls and sapphires predominate, yet individuals are trying different things with sapphires in different wonderful relieving shades, tourmalines, kunzites and briolettes, as they comprehend that these can include the abundantly required volume and surface to any configuration.

Color Effect
Cost and value change with style. Also Indians have been brisk to adjust to evolving patterns. Despite the fact that the jewel remains an enormous top pick, Indians are presently selecting shaded stones more than prior. Hued stones are additionally getting to be progressively prevalent because of a resurgence of confidence in crystal gazing.

With moving ethnic impacts, monetary demands, macro-business impacts and an inclination for style over supposition, patterns point towards purchasers picking semi-valuable stones. One ought to pick the semi-valuable hued stone that suit their identity and skin tone. If it’s a day occasion, simply wear semi-valuable colored stone. With the gemstone business flourishing, there is no better time to begin searching for hued stones than now!


The distribution chain of gemstone needs to clear the old stock to clear a path for new items. As ifthat lapsed stock can't be sold at a noteworthy markdown, it must be composed off inside and out. That, as is commonly said, is business. The gemstone business, especially at the higher end, couldn't be more distinctive. The estimation of amazing gemstones has a tendency to acknowledge as opposed to devalue about whether. A jewels merchant who has been in the business for a long time regularly has uncommon diamonds in his vault that he couldn't in any way, shape or form purchase in the current market. At any given time, some of his stock is likely offered at costs underneath his expense to supplant the pearls in the current business sector.

In any universe of disposable customer products, gemstones are one of the few items you can purchase that are liable to expand in worth about whether. Be that as it may the circumstances likewise make a predicament for the diamonds merchant. If he doesn't value his merchandise as per the business, keeping up his stock could be troublesome. Offering a pearl beneath business value makes it troublesome for him to purchase another stone for his stock, since he will need to pay a much higher cost for a proportionate stone in the business. Without a doubt, if much of his stock is evaluated well underneath business sector, an alternate merchant may purchase up all his stock, viably making him bankrupt.

Now the question arises why are the costs of fine gemstones consistently expanding? It is truly simply a matter of supply and interest. The supply of hued gemstones is quite often sporadic and questionable. Every now and then a significant disclosure affects the business. In 1992, for instance, a huge ruby store was found in the Mong Hsu region of Burma. However such a revelation is the exemption as opposed to the guideline. From that point forward there have been critical disclosures of ruby in Madagascar, Tanzania and Mozambique, yet production has been exceptionally restricted.

Some exceptional pearls are in such short supply that new wealthy purchasers entering the business can have an extensive effect on business sector costs. We have witnessed this with Paraiba tourmaline, unheated African ruby and Mahenge spinel. At the point when business costs climb essentially, pearl merchants are compelled to re-price some of their stock. This may resemble an astute move to the shopper, however actually the merchant has minimal choice in the matter. Different merchants will rapidly procure underpriced material and re-offer it at business sector costs. So the business sector itself remedies for inconsistencies and inclines to value balance.

Increasing Jewel Costs Can Be A Nice Thing!
Individuals gripe about diamonds being extravagant (for gold) and due to that, they can't purchase the diamond store stuff. Yet these individuals overlook an exceptionally imperative thing. Diamond costs climbing means the whole game gets to be less lavish, cash savvy, for time-constrained high-salary individuals, the definite individuals keeping the servers alive.

Alright a few things can't be managed through gold any longer however the fact of the matter is, this pearl change was planned for the time-constrained player to get up to speed with in-your-face gold agriculturists who would prefer not to use genuine cash. The current jewel pattern reflects that. In the event that pearl stuff is excessively costly gold-wise, don't hesitate to help the game. Diamonds can be cheap when computing from a RL cash perspective.

How To Start Online Selling Of Gemstones And Jewellery?

Beginning a business to offer gemstones is not that simple. You have to commit your time, and the most vital is to put enormous measure of cash. Gemstones are costly, the precious stones and sapphires are the priciest stones.

Notwithstanding, you have to bring along somebody who knows how to distinguish gemstones so you can get the stones that value your cash.

Organize to buy your pearls and stones through a merchant. However if you live in a region that is known for a particular stone, for example, Amber, you can buy your stones mainly and afterward clean and set them as you like. If you need to deal in nonlocal stones, find a merchant and contact them about acquiring their stones and diamonds for resale.
Lease or buy your retail outlet, if you aim to have a store. When you have your street number, you can seek a business permit from your city or area, if fundamental, and also a Tax Identification Number (TIN) from the Internal Revenue Service.

If you plan to begin your business from home, whether online or working at fairs and celebrations, your street number is your personal residence.

So How We Can Get Best!
It is really straightforward really; most individuals basically don't have the information or intends to test the gemstones they have purchased.

They get an astonishing searching gemstone at a deal cost and are satisfied with the extraordinary arrangement they got. They then leave input on ebay about how incredible the merchant is and the exceptional items they got.

So the following individual that investigates the input of this dealer will see something like "99.8% positive criticism" and supposes he's managing a genuine vender. Reasonable as they are utilized to dealers on different parts of ebay where everybody can undoubtedly check whether they got a decent arrangement or a modest knockoff that quits working inside days.

This is basically not the situation for gemstones, the measure of medicines is amazing, synthetics are improving by the day and adjusting a stone to speak to a more costly one is broad.

The absolute most prestigious gemological establishments are the GIA and AGS who just archive the gemstone properties. The IGI, IGL and EGL are famous platforms who archive gemstone properties as well as evaluate them also. So search for these truncations when you purchase your diamonds on the web.

Authentic Gemstone Or Not!
So what do you do when you've purchased a gemstone online and you have reason to quetsion its authentic? One alternative is to approach a neighborhood diamond setter who can either assess the stone himself or has contacts that can. You may get charged for the service in case you're not a (consistent) client, or they may take the chance to attempt to make you an unwavering client and do it free of charge.


This is simply a general manual for purchasing gemstones on the web. You ought to verify you recognize what regular pitfalls there are when purchasing a certain gemstone. You can figure out a few of those pitfalls in the articles concentrating on individual gemstones.

Assuredly this aide has helped you feel calmer when you purchase your gemstones on the internet. The unimaginable choice and lower expense offer extraordinary chances to the individuals who take a few insurances.

Reason For This Issue!

Because of the low measure of negative criticism the issue does not appear on ebay's radar. In spite of the fact that some individuals accept they simply deliberately ignore as a result of the measure of cash these force dealers get.

Continue testing however, particularly if you are exchanging these stones. You are completely in charge of any unintentional misrepresentation! If the wholesale cost of the harsh material is far higher than what the cut amethyst is offering for, you could be almost certain something is not right. Particularly in those cases when they are offering a substantial number of these gemstones. No one in their right personality is going to go to the inconvenience of cutting a gemstone when they could be offering the harsh material and make more benefit.

Never purchase an extravagant stone without any appropriate evaluating report by a well-known foundation. Case in point: IGI, EGL, GIA, AGS and IGL. You ought to never believe an in-house reviewing report and you ought to be exceptionally watchful when managing an obscure grader.

Are All Emeralds In Today’s Market Fracture Filled?

Emerald is one of the four "valuable pearls" with diamond, sapphire and ruby, so most individuals accept emeralds are lavish. All things considered, some are and some aren't.

Emeralds, stunning as they may be, frequently have fractures. That is the way of this jewel material. Actually, a regular emerald with just negligible gaps is rare to the point that its value significantly more than a jewel of comparable carat weight and clarity.

Fracture Filled
Little fractures or breaks in a gemstone can interfere with the death of light through the stone, making white or "dead" spots in the shade of the stone.

Some of the time these fractures – if they achieve the surface of the stone – will be loaded with material that permits the light to pass through easily. Different materials are utilized for this; oil, epoxy, wax, glass and borax are normal materials.

These minor filled fractures are hard to see with the exposed eye, so purchasers ought to be mindful of this practice. The most generally filled stones are emerald, ruby, sapphire, peridot, sea green/blue, and turquoise. It is acknowledged for emeralds to be oiled, as they are characteristically intensely broken.

The impact of fracture filling is sensational. Aggravations that scratch the whole stone, making it truly ugly, appear to vanish. The upgrade makes the diamond considerably engaging the exposed eye and significantly expands its (obvious) esteem.

Fracture filling is possible on essentially different sorts of gemstones — jewels, rubies, emeralds, sapphires, and others. The treatment is simple and modest. It guises a defect, making a jewel look clearer and more important, yet the imperfection can promptly be seen under a magnifying lens

Since emerald is so liable to have fractures, suppliers frequently fill the breaks with non-jewel material. This veils the blemishes and enhances the presence of the stone, making it more attractive. Truly many exclusive equations are utilized to fill fractures. The change of a stone's appearance can be magnificent.

Emerald - Fracture fill sample
Fracture filling is not viewed as a perpetual treatment. Fillers are liable to break down under cleaning with steam or ultrasound, they might be hurt by high temperature from a goldsmith's light if the stone is reset, or they might just break down about whether. A filling may turn dim or white or basically crumble, leaving the broke stone in its unique condition.

Breakdown of a filling is not harm for which the backup plan is subject. It is vital that fracture filling be noted on the evaluation. Break filled stones are worth impressively short of what unenhanced emeralds of comparable size. It's key that the treatment be revealed at each venture in the offering chain.

Fracture filling may be carried out to emeralds that have just slight fractures, or it might be carried out to stones that are loaded with breaks ugly, low-quality stones that in their regular "un-upgraded" express nobody would need. Indeed the revelation of fracture filling does not tell the guarantor (or the purchaser) how seriously the stoned is fractured.

Close-up of Fracture Filled Emerald
Breaks in an emerald make the stone less delightful as well as debilitate it. An emerald that has its fractures filled in will look better to the exposed eye; however it’s still a weak stone, helpless to breakage.

With a specific end goal to minimize the presence of these interior fractures, it has ended up industry standard to "oil" treat the breaks in emeralds. This is a semi perpetual treatment that includes inundating the emerald in cedar oil until the breaks have been filled and darkened. The material utilized must have comparable optical properties to the emerald itself so light entering the emerald is not contorted or interfered with and the pearl's characteristic color is kept up. This is acknowledged inside the business as normal practice.

Emeralds must be taken care of all the more delicately on account of their weakness, and cleaning procedures that include chemicals, high hotness or steam are not prompted, as they can result in the pearl to break or the oil filler to scatter.

Extraordinary forethought ought to be taken when wearing emerald adornments given emeralds are inclined to fracture if generally taken care of. All of Brilliant Earth's emeralds are oil treated unless overall indicated.

Fresher manifestations of emerald treatment incorporate glass, gums, and plastic polymers that are dissolved into the pearl. These are ordinarily utilized for emeralds with amazing strength issues, as the fillers additionally act as tying executors. This is NOT industry standard, and must be unveiled amid the time of offer. A few goldsmiths are additionally utilizing green tinted oils and polymers.

The oil is intended to cover the splits and to enhance the way the stone looks. Whilst most makers of emerald consider this treatment to be ordinary practice, the oil does have a tendency to dry out about whether, deserting rather clear looking pale breaks. Identifying the oil might be troublesome. A magnifying lens will regularly be required to study any breaks for holes that the oil has missed. Once in a while flashes of diverse shaded light will dole out the contrast in refraction of the oil and the real emerald.

Polymer filling
An alternate treatment that is considerably harder to recognize is the utilization of polymers to fill cracks. The tar can show up so like the emerald that greatly watchful perception is obliged to spot it.

Once more, flashes of light of distinctive colors reflecting from the breaks may be a giveaway, and here and there one can even see little air pockets trapped inside the sap. If the cost of an emerald on offer appears a smidgen excessively great to be genuine, then risks are it has been dealt with intensely.

Cleaning
It is worth specifying here that compelling forethought ought to be taken when cleaning emeralds. They ought to never be set in an ultrasonic cleaner if the oils are washed out, and forethought ought to be brought with any sort of concoction cleaning liquid.

Some unfortunate individuals have been somewhat disturbed to find that the profound green emerald they set into an ultrasonic machine has turned out resembling a sorry excuse for its previous self! With the oils washed out the stone has turned into a pale green stone brimming with breaks.

Synthetics
Aside from regular, treated emeralds, there is likewise a richness of manufactured, manmade emeralds available, and in addition an entire host of different minerals used to emulate emerald.
