Precious Stone Prices

Diamonds

Diamonds are the most recognized precious stone worldwide. Their value is assessed based on the "4Cs": carat weight, clarity, color, and cut. Diamond weight is measured in carats (ct).

Clarity is determined by the presence or absence of internal inclusions, with categories ranging from FL, IF, VVS1, VVS2, VS1, VS2, SI1, SI2, I1, I2, to I3. Color is graded on a scale from "D" (colorless) to "Z" (yellowish). The most popular diamond cuts include Round, Princess, Emerald, Oval, Marquise, Pear, Heart, Radiant, Asscher, and Old European Cut, each requiring expert assessment.

While diamonds are typically colorless, there are also colored diamonds, known as "fancy" diamonds, with blue, pink, and yellow being the most commercially valuable due to the presence of specific chemical elements. Diamonds are primarily mined in Russia, Botswana, Canada, and South Africa.

Emeralds

Emeralds are stunning stones, in various shades of green, used to decorate gold jewellery such as necklaces, earrings, bracelets and rings. They belong to the beryl family, with most of the world’s emeralds being mined in Colombia, though Zambia and Brazil also have significant deposits.

Emerald value is mainly determined by weight, origin and clarity. The weight is measured in carats, with larger emeralds commanding higher prices.

Popular emerald cuts include the Emerald Cut, Asscher, Cushion, Oval, Round and Heart, all of which are critical in showcasing the gem's beauty and brilliance. Most emeralds are treated with oils or resins to enhance their appearance, though such treatments can reduce the stone's value.
