In the world of fine gemstones, color reigns supreme. When selecting a gemstone, prioritize color above all else—it defines the gem’s personality, value, and visual impact. Clarity follows closely, enhancing brilliance and purity.

While cut and size contribute to beauty and presence, they are considered secondary— unless you’re exploring exceptional categories such as Rubies, Sapphires, Emeralds, Alexandrites, Tsavorites, Spinels, Diamonds, Paraiba Tourmalines and other rare Collector’s Gems. In these cases, size becomes a significant factor, especially when paired with extraordinary color.
