- don’t look for perfection
Everyone craves perfection, especially when investing their money in something. Yes, the right gems make the best investments, but that doesn’t mean one shouldn’t consider gems that aren’t right. It may be true that they don’t fetch the highest value when someone decides to cash in on their investment, but high-quality gems—even if they’re imperfect—will increase in value and attract interested buyers. You should keep an eye on the market trends and also find out which inclusions are acceptable and which are not. - veracity
Authenticity is one of the major concerns when investing in gemstones. Counterfeiters are experts in creating an artificial gemstone that can look exactly like the genuine one, therefore, an expert opinion is highly recommended. Always ensure that a certificate from a trusted gemological institute is presented before purchase. Beyond that, follow your intuition, and if something seems suspicious, refrain from buying it. - color recognition
When investing in colored gemstones, color obviously plays the most important role. Therefore, it is important to ensure that the color of the gems is pure and that there is no mixture of colours. For example, in the case of a blue gemstone, one should know that the color varies from blue to green. Before investing it is advised to note some basic facts, such as the color of a gemstone is based on its hue, saturation and tone. One should always first check the tone and saturation, which should be higher; So that, the color comes out better and purer. - value and growth
