Step into the vibrant world of gemstones, where every hue tells a unique story. At Liali, we believe your jewellery collection is truly complete with these captivating treasures, each a magnificent center of attraction. Our comprehensive guide defines the essential characteristics that determine gemstone quality and value, empowering you to shop with confidence for your perfect piece.
Key Factors of Gemstone Quality:
- Color: The most vital aspect of a gemstone's beauty. Color is assessed by three main parameters: its hue (the pure spectral color), tone (lightness or darkness), and saturation (intensity or richness). Liali offers a stunning array of high-quality colored gemstones, meticulously selected for their vibrant and balanced hues.
- Clarity: Unlike diamonds, nearly all gemstones naturally contain inclusions – tiny internal characteristics formed during their creation. These unique markings are part of a gemstone's identity. While absolute clarity is exceedingly rare and expensive, Liali's gemstone jewellery features gems with balanced clarity, showcasing their natural beauty without compromising brilliance.
- Cut: For gemstones, the cut is designed not just for brilliance but to optimize the stone's natural color, minimize the visibility of inclusions, and maximize its overall beauty when set in jewellery. Our expert cutting techniques ensure each gemstone displays its most vibrant color and captivating light performance.
- Carat Weight & Size:Carat weight measures a gemstone's weight, not necessarily its visual size. To help you accurately judge a gemstone's appearance in jewellery, Liali often provides its diameter (when viewed from the top), ensuring clarity in your selection.
Gemstone Enhancements & Treatments:
Transparency is key in the gemstone industry. Many natural gemstones undergo traditional and accepted enhancements to intensify their color or improve clarity, processes that have been utilized for centuries. For instance, common treatments include heating for rubies, sapphires, aquamarines, citrines, amethysts, and tanzanites; bleaching for pearls; and irradiation for blue topaz. These enhancements are an integral part of the modern gemstone market, and Liali ensures full disclosure regarding any treated gemstones in our collection.
