A gorgeous gemstone in beautiful and precious metals is like the cherry on top of a sundae — not required, but something that just makes everything come together beautifully. Few things can help an outfit for a night out or a cocktail party come alive more effectively than a set of Pink Diamond Earrings or a Tanzanite Bracelet.
This leads us, to our first tip: Buy from a reputable website.

Our second tip: Make sure you’re getting the real deal.

Our third tip: Look at your jewelry specifications.
The 4C’s that GIA uses to grade Diamonds can be applied, with some modifications, to almost any gemstone.
The most important of these for gemstones is color. Generally, the best gemstones should have medium to medium dark saturations with vivid to intense saturations. However, this truly does depend on your personal preference. Some people love the deep and dark hues, while others can’t get enough of lighter hues.
The second most important is cut. With proper cutting and dimensions, a gemstone can release its true colors and beauty without any interference. Even the most beautiful gemstones, if not cut properly, look dull and lifeless.
The third most important is carat weight. A bigger gemstone will look much more impressive than a smaller one. But this again, is dependent on your personal preference.
Finally, the most dependent on the gem itself, is clarity. Some gemstones, like Emeralds, are almost always heavily included. Others, like Tanzanite, are very easy to get eye clean.
But there are other considerations, that apply specifically to gemstones. Some gems, like opals, moonstones, alexandrite, and star sapphire have a phenomenon like play of color, adularescence, color change or chatoyancy which affects their beauty and value. Others, like rutilated or tourmalinated quartz have inclusions that increase value. Some rare gemstones, like color change star sapphire or cat’s eye alexandrite have more than one phenomenon.
All of these play a big part in your gemstone, so be sure to look at all of these factors when buying your favorite jewelry online!
