Question 1

How do you determine the value of my gemstones?

Accepted Answer

For diamonds, we use the 4 Cs - Cut, Clarity, Color, and Carat weight. For colored gemstones, we assess clarity, color saturation, cut quality, and origin. Our trusted gemologists examine each stone with professional equipment including loupes, refractometers, and spectroscopes. We also consider the setting and overall condition of the piece.

Question 2

Do you buy lab-grown diamonds and gemstones?

Accepted Answer

We specialise in natural gemstones and diamonds only. We do not purchase lab-grown, synthetic, or man-made diamonds and gemstones. Our expertise focuses on natural precious stones including diamonds, emeralds, sapphires, rubies, and other genuine gemstones. We use professional equipment to distinguish between natural and lab-grown stones during our assessment.

Question 3

What if I don't have certificates for my gemstones?

Accepted Answer

Certificates aren't required. Our gemologists can assess your gemstones professionally without paperwork. However, if you have GIA, SSEF, Gübelin, or other reputable lab certificates, these can help verify quality and potentially increase value, especially for high-value colored stones.

Question 4

Do you buy gemstone jewellery with damaged settings?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. We often buy gemstone pieces where the focus is on the stone value rather than the setting. Damaged gold or platinum settings can still have precious metal value, and we'll assess both components separately to give you the best overall price.

Question 5

What about rare gemstones and fancy cuts?

Accepted Answer

We buy all types of precious stones including rare varieties like paraiba tourmalines, padparadscha sapphires, and alexandrites, plus all cuts (round, oval, emerald, cushion, etc.). Rare gemstones and unusual cuts may have specific market values that our experts are trained to assess.

Question 6

How can I tell if my gemstones are real?

Accepted Answer

Professional testing is the only certain way. We use refractometers, spectroscopes, and other specialized equipment for different stones. Each gemstone has unique optical properties - diamonds have high brilliance, emeralds show inclusions, sapphires have specific hardness. Only professional equipment gives definitive results.
