How to Buy a Coloured Gem

When you purchase coloured gemstone jewellery knowing a few things about gemstone quality and their value will help you make sure you get what you want at a good price.

Every gem has a unique range of colours with the purest and most vivid colour being the most rare and therefore expensive stone. To explain gemstone colour you need look at the three factors that define it:

The first is its colour: it can be red, orange, yellow, green, blue or purple or it might be in-between two hues: an orangey red or a reddish orange. Gemstones with a pure red, blue, or green hue are generally the best.

The second is saturation – the intensity of the colour. Colours that lack intensity often appear faded or washed out or look as though the hue is mixed with gray or brown. For example, a fire engine red is highly saturated but a brick red less so. In gemstone colour more saturation is better.

The third is the lightness of darkness of the colour. Pink has a light tone and maroon has a dark tone. In gemstones a medium tone is considered best. If it’s too light the gem’s colour is too pale to be attractive. And too dark means gem isn’t able to sparkle with light.

So the best rubies have a vivid pure red colour in a medium tone, with no modifying purple, orange, or brown. But bear in mind that every gemstone is judged on its own terms: aquamarine always has a fairly light tone but this is part of its watery appeal as the aquamarine ring in the picture demonstrates.

With every variety of gemstone the quality determines the cost. Different gem varieties have different pricing structures. To give you a general idea the ruby, blue sapphire and emerald are the most expensive gemstones. One level below these are gems like alexandrite, demantoid garnet, tourmaline, black opal, pink topaz, jadeite, fancy sapphire and South Sea cultured pearls.

The moderate price range includes tanzanite, tsavorite garnet, tourmaline, aquamarine, precious topaz and the spessartite garnet.
Affordable gemstones include amethyst, citrine, many colours of garnet, blue topaz, fire opal, white opal, peridot, coral, turquoise, lapis lazuli and freshwater and saltwater cultured pearls.

You may think that once you have got down on one knee and made those all important wedding vows that you have done all you can to show your commitment and love to your special partner.

But that’s simply not the case because even after you have been married, there are things you can do to show your continued love. After all, every man and woman needs to be reminded every so often of how special your relationship is and this should never be taken for granted.

The perfect way for married couples to reinforce their live for one another is through eternity rings. There are versions suitable for both men and women and they are normally given when a couple has been married for a year or after the birth of their first child together.

There is no set design when it comes to eternity rings and you can simply opt for whatever you think the recipient would like or what represents your relationship the best. If you want something different, that will stand out then opt for a coloured stone for a real impact.

Tsavorite eternity rings are an excellent choice if you’re looking for something different as the bright green colour is really eye catching.
