Why Should I Choose Gemstone Jewellery?

Gemstone jewellery not only looks great, it can be a great investment too as it’ll likely retain its value over time. Like all precious metals and crystals, there are a finite amount of them here on earth and therefore the rarer the stone is the higher the value. Whether you choose gemstone jewellery for its aesthetic appeal or as a celebration of a life milestone, make sure you take into account the 4 Cs to ensure you’re getting the highest quality gemstone for the best price:

• Carat - refers to the weight of the diamond. 
• Cut - this is judged by how well its facets interact with light; in other words, how much the stone will sparkle. 
• Clarity - how many inclusions and blemishes can be seen on the stone. The fewer the imperfections, the higher the price will be. 
• Colour - the most expensive diamonds appear totally colourless, though many of the differentiations between each grade will be invisible to the naked eye.
