How to Select the Gemstone

Gemstones are not just worn as fashionable jewel stone but also for their astrological value and healing properties. It is very important to be assured of the quality and authenticity of the gemstone to avoid unpleasant surprises. Many fraudulent gem dealers use different tricks to sell fake gems as real. As a buyer, you have to be aware of the common tricks employed by fraud dealers to sell spurious gemstones to their customers.

It is always advisable to buy gemstone from a reputed seller who is happy to answer your question honestly. Investing in a genuine, lab certified gemstone and hallmarked jewelry is a good way to ensure the best value for money. When purchasing a rare and expensive gemstone from a popular origin, one should be extra careful and must rely only on the certificates issued by the prestigious gem labs like IGI, GTL, GIA, GRS etc.

What Should I Be Careful About

There are multiple considerations that one needs to factor in before purchasing a gemstone. Being aware of these factors that affect gemstone quality and price help in avoiding the chances of buying unauthentic gemstones at unfair prices. Before selecting a gemstone, it is imperative to know how a minor variation in quality, size or origin can bring a huge difference in the gemstone price.

Color, clarity, cut and carat weight are some conventional factors considered while purchasing a gemstone. However, from the astrological point of view, it is equally important to ensure that the gemstone is 100% natural and free from any sort of treatment (heating, chemical treatment, dying and resin filling etc.). According to the experts, selecting a gemstone from a reputed geographical origin can be a good way to ensure quality. But it is not mandatory if one can manage to find good quality gemstones even from a less popular origin. All the gemstones present in GemPundit’s inventory are carefully examined by our expert gemologist. So, from our side, we can assure you of the quality and authenticity of the gemstones available on our website.
