Grading the quality of gemstones:

Alpha grading is a commonly heard term in conjunction to grading of gemstones.This grading is based on several qualities such as colour, cut and clarity. However the grading is not limited only to these qualities and other factors such as value for money, popularity and even feedback from customers are taken into account while grading gemstones. A gemstone is graded based on these factors and can be classified under:

Super fine - The gemstone in question is clean, perfectly cut and polished and has a lively colour with both consistency and appropriation.

AAA - “AAA” grade is assigned to a gemstone that is considered to “being near perfect.” Though these stones do show some variation in colour, they are clean, well cut and polished.

AA - Semi clean, well cut and polished gemstones are graded as AA.

A – Reasonably clean and well cut gemstones that have noticeable variations are graded A.

Commercial - Irregular, cloudy gem stones with visible inclusions are low grade stones that fall under commercial stones used to make fancy jewellery.

AAA quality gemstones are the most sought out precious stones, for the cut is perfect and the colour is vibrant. AAA gemstones are a lot more affordable than super fine stones and are generally used in making jewellery.

Moonstone are found in a whole range of colours like brown, blue, grey, white, green, and pink. This precious stone derives it’s name from the way it diffracts light giving it a light moon like pale and glowing white colour.

As a customer not too well versed with gemology, you may wonder whether a moon stone like many other precious stones can in fact be faceted?

 The answer is an obvious and apparent, YES! Moonstone is available in traditionally cut faceted shapes. Today, these transparent or milky coloured moonstones are faceted, as they then become easy to cut, polish and use in various pieces of jewellery. Moonstone is a delicate stone that needs to be handled with care and hence many people feel that the stone cannot be faceted or cut as per need. When in fact they can be faceted and made more pretty. 

Use of moonstone

 Moonstone can be used in all kinds of jewellery but you need to little cautious with its use since it can easily chip, scratch or break if hit hard against a hard surface. You can easily buy faceted moonstones online or at any jewellery shop today. Moonstone, unlike other jewel stones, needs a little more care but it can be as beautiful when one adorns it with all its design, cut and as jewellery like any other.

These days, gemstone jewellery has become quite trendy among people! Both men and women are equally passionate to wear gemstones jewellery, thanks to their mesmerizing brilliance and suitability for every occasion, no matter, it is traditional or contemporary. However, before buying any gemstone jewelry, you need to consider following important things.

Clarity

Clarity of the stone in layman words is the flawlessness of the stones. It reflects the workmanship on the stone. The more clear and blemish less the stone is, the more will its clarity be. Absence of marks and inclusions also is checked to determine the clarity of precious or semi-precious gemstone.

Cut

The cut of the stone is what evaluates and determines its value. A precision cut gemstone with proportioned facets is a hallmark of a finished gem that exudes superior color, brilliancy and light reflection.

Color

The rich color appeals to the eyes as much as it captivates the heart. The color of a g

emstone is rated by it’s intensity and saturation. The more vivacious the color is the more does the gemstone cost. A gemstone whose color is bright in the medium range with no hint of cloudiness is considered as superior quality.

Carat

The carat with respect to gemstones refers to the unit weight of the precious stone. One carat is equal to 0.200 grams. Bear in mind that just the size does not determine the quality and cost of gemstones. A sapphire that is heavier in weight but is badly cut or has numerous flaws is bound to be cheaper than a smaller specimen that is more perfect.

Treatment

Avoid buying gemstones that have been treated extensively. Several stones are dyed or filled with color in order to mask blemishes or other flaws. A natural stone is more precious than those that undergo heat treatments to enhance color.

Transparency

Yet another important factor that determines the quality of a gemstone, transparency refers to the amount of light that is diffused through the stone. The more transparent that the gemstone is the more valuable will it be.
