Ask about a gemstoneHELPFUL TO KNOW
A few thoughtful
questions.
Does every gemstone have a certificate?
Available documentation varies by gemstone. Enquire about the particular stone you are considering and review any available report before making a decision.
What can a laboratory report tell me?
A laboratory report can provide information about a stone’s identity and certain characteristics. The information supplied depends on the laboratory and the type of report.
How is gemstone origin described?
Origin information should be supported by evidence. A gemstone being offered by a Sri Lankan business does not, by itself, establish the origin of that individual stone.
What should I ask before choosing a gemstone?
Ask about identity, carat weight, colour, shape, dimensions, any known treatments and available documentation. Share your intended use and preferences so the conversation can focus on what matters to you.
