    The Science of Gemology Gemology can be defined as the science of gems. It is most closely Minerals as Gemstones allied with mineralogy, drawing on knowledge of chemistry, physics and geology. Knowledge of physics and chemistry aids in understanding the physical, chemical, and optical properties of minerals. Geological knowledge allows an understanding of the origins and probable natural sources of gemstones. Gemology is not only concerned with the study of natural gem materials, but also with gem testing and evaluation methods, the cutting, polishing and mounting of gem-quality specimens, as well as identification of the distinguishing properties and aesthetic value (grade) of synthetically manufactured gems. Gemologists must also concern themselves with the properties, value and sources of precious metals, as well as the market value of gems and precious metals. What constitutes a gemstone ? Gems traditionally held in highest esteem are diamonds, rubies, “Gemstone” is a collective term for all “stones” used for personal adornment (i.e. as jewelry) or for other ornamental uses. sapphires, emeralds, and some varieties of opal. However, large, high-quality specimens of semiprecious gems (e.g. Tourmaline) The term is usually restricted to “stones” of natural origin, however, often command a very high price even in their natural form. there are “synthetic gems”. Prepared precious gems Not all gemstones are minerals as such (e.g. amber, pearl, coral, jet, opal, ivory, petrified wood). Some are rocks (multimineralic). A “gem” can be thought of as a gemstone that has been cut and/or polished to accentuate its beauty. Gemstones are generally divided into two main categories: Precious gems: characterized by great beauty, durability, stability, large size and rarity.

Shape contrib- utes to the messages that a diamond sends about the personality of the one who gives or wears it. When presenting this aspect of cut, you need to match the images and messages of the diamonds you show with the customers you serve. With branded diamond cuts, you may need to explain other elements that add appeal or value. When you’ve accomplished these objectives you’ve taken an important step toward closing the sale.

  • Estimating Weights of Mounted Colored Gemstones
    NOTE S AND NE W TECHNIQUES ESTI MATING WEIGHTS OF MOUNTED COL ORED GEMS TONES By Charles I. Carmona Updated formulas are presented for estimating the weights of mounted col - ored gemstones. These formulas are derived from measurements and weights of thousands of German-cut calibrated amethysts and citrines, rep - resenting most commercially available shapes and sizes. As with the formu - las taught by GIA, the dimensions of a stone are multiplied by its specific gravity and by a “shape factor” that is determined by the stone’s face-up outline. This article also illustrates how the shape factor changes over a con - tinuum of common face-up outlines. As in previous formulas, a separate weight correction factor is applied to stones that show proportion variations in profile view. Estimating weights of mounted gemstones has gemstone weights, or negotiating the sale or pawn become a common routine for many of today’s jew - of jewelry. elry tradespeople.

  • Diamond Buying Guide
    DIAMOND BUYING GUIDE Choosing a diamond engagement ring is one of the most enjoyable and memorable experiences in preparation to a couple’s wedding. As an enduring symbol of love and commitment, a diamond ring will be uniquely special for a lifetime. When buying a diamond, consider all of its unique characteristics. It is really helpful to know about the 4Cs – the universal diamond classification and grading system. The combination of a diamond’s cut, color, clarity and carat – are what give a diamond its unique personality, forming the basis for its valuation. While every diamond can be described by its particular combination of the 4Cs, its exceptional beauty is much more than a list of characteristics, because every diamond is a unique inimitable miracle of nature.
