For Jane Austen, marriage was as a financing charge of emotions, with each trying to get the best deal possible. Buying a gemstone is also the beginning of a lifetime and the price you pay is part of the deal. Naturally, you do not pay too expensive.

So how can you tell if you pay the right price?

First of all, do not ask me how much you should pay for a carat ruby. A ruby a carat is worth ten dollars or it may be worth $ 10,000. Quality makes the difference. Fortunately, you can see the difference in quality if you look a lot of jewels side-by-side. Better color costs more, much more. Better clarity costs more. Better Cut mai a little more expensive but it's worth it! More stone, more it is per carat. Within each variety, prices are based on these four Cs, with color as the most important factor.

But Variety have several different price ranges. This is where the prejudice comes in. Some varieties are lower in price because they are easily available, some because the color is not very popular (brown and yellow stones, for example), some because the material is relatively soft, and some, because ... they have all the stuff, but nobody knows. There are many examples of beautiful rare gemstones that cost less than GEMS which are less rare because they have a funny name, or confuse people with a variety inexpensive and no one has ever heard. But enough talk the injustice of the gem market.

We can break the price ranges of different varieties of GEM into five basic categories: gems traditional, new classics, connoisseur gems, gems collection, gems and affordable. These categories have price ranges from basic, but Again the lower quality stones or stones with less popular colors are cheaper in May and quality stones with particularly fine or color in May cost more. These price ranges are designed to give you a general idea of the price relationship between different kinds of precious stones and not to serve as a price list, since the color and quality can make such a difference.

The traditional gemstones are ruby, emerald and blue sapphire. Because of their enduring appeal and distinguished history, ruby, emerald and sapphire are more valuable than other colored gemstones. Generally, rubies and emeralds are also more expensive than a comparable quality sapphire due to rarity. For one-carat stone of average to good quality the varieties in this category, you can expect to pay between $ 250 and $ 10,000 per carat. Of course, really beautiful gems will cost more.

The new classics are gemstones that are the rising stars of the Gemstone jewelry: tanzanite, tourmaline, aquamarine imperial topaz, and tsavorite garnet. These gemstones are sometimes available in standardized sizes but you really should watch some beautiful large single stones to see why they have so many fans. Precious stones in this category range from $ 50 to $ 1,000 per carat for an average to good quality one carat stone, with a good example of tsavorite easily reaching $ 3,000 per carat.

Connoisseur gems are gemstones that have a more specialized market because they are rarer. These gems include black opal, jadeite, pink topaz, chrysoberyl cat's eye, fancy colored sapphires, and stones as rare Demantoid garnet and alexandrite. These gems are very popular and prices range from $ 250 to $ 5,000 per carat, although alexandrite with a color change Goodwill Command at least $ 10,000, even in a one-carat size.

GEMS Collector's not available in quantity to be marketed so efficient so you get a lot of beauty for the money. This category includes spinel, zircon, moonstone, and other Morganite beryl, and many rare gemstones. Red and hot pink spinels can command a few thousand per carat but most of the gems in this category will not sell for Hundreds of thousands of people.

Then there are the gems at affordable prices, combining beautiful colors at a surprisingly reasonable price and good availability. GEMS These include some old favorites and some new gems: amethyst, white opal, citrine, Ametrine, Peridot, Garnet rhodolite, blue topaz, iolite, chrome diopside, Kunzite, andalusite, and many ornamental gemstones such as lapis lazuli, turquoise, onyx, chrysoprase, nephrite jade, and amber. The prices of these gemstone range between $ 5 and $ 100 per carat for a stone of one carat.

In all varieties, especially the ladies, you should expect to pay more for matched pairs, sets and special shapes and cuts.
