Did You Pick Up The Wrong Color Gemstone?

The purchase of colored gemstones requires certain recognition experience and common sense.

In recent years, coloured gemstones have gradually become popular consumer goods, but many consumers lack the experience of selection. Some people still have some misunderstandings about gemstones. If they are not corrected in time, they may spend a lot of money to buy Precious Stones, or fall into the traps set by businesses.

So, what are the misconceptions about choosing colored gemstones? Below, the 6 shopping erroneous areas introduced by Wang Hong, the head of ETUDE jewelry house, are you "trick"?

Misunderstanding 1.

Cheaper in origin

Many consumers believe that it is more cost-effective to buy gemstones in origin, but this is not absolute.

Especially in some tourist destinations, businessmen often use the psychology of people to raise the price of gemstones.

Misunderstanding 2.

Buying is the most cost-effective way to promote sales.

There is a jargon in the jewelry industry: "good goods are not cheap, but cheap goods are not good."

Anyone who has bought experience knows that the price of a commodity is usually corresponding to its quality.

Therefore, when businessmen sell stones at 90 percent off or 80 percent off "jumping prices", consumers must be careful. This is either a promotional means of business, they deliberately raise prices, and then attract consumers with larger discounts. In fact, precious stones are not worth money at all, or there are bigger defects in the precious stones, and businesses are eager to launch, so they give lower prices.

In fact, good quality jewels are almost never discounted.

To buy perfect jewels

When buying gemstones, many people want to buy perfect, flawless jewels, which is virtually impossible.

Because gemstones are purely natural, this determines that they contain inclusions, and the difference between the color and size of jewels is relative, not absolute.

Therefore, the right way to choose is to first determine the price that you can afford, and then find the appropriate grades of gemstones according to this price, then pick the style of Xinyi.

Misunderstanding 4.

To buy natural jewels

Many people buy

We must choose 100% pure natural stones, that is, gem without any optimized treatment.

In fact, many jewels sold on the market now carry traces of manual processing.

For example, the color of blue topaz is mostly treated by high temperature. The color of some emeralds is the result of oil immersion. The color of some sapphires is heated.

These methods are internationally recognized and can increase their aesthetic value without lowering the value of the gem.

Misunderstanding 5.

Buying stones is better than quality.

No matter which gemstone we choose, consumers should value their quality and weight, and never pursue quantity.

If your budget can buy 10 quality gemstones or 1 quality gemstones, please choose 1 instead of 10.

From the perspective of collection, the higher the quality of gemstones, the more room for appreciation.

Identification certificate is not important.

Many people believe that the key to selecting gemstones depends on their eyesight.

But in fact, unless you are a gem expert or have a long-term, large number of experts who purchase gem experience, the accuracy rate of selecting gemstones by eyesight is very limited, while the identification certificates attached to regular channels for sale of gemstones can help you accurately understand Gemstone Information.

As we all know, the aspects affecting gem value mainly include color, cleanliness, weight, size, cut work, optimized processing methods, producing areas, etc.

The more detailed the above information is, the more trustworthy and the professional level of gem identification will be.
