What Affects Your Gemstone Payout?
Type of Gemstone
Certain gems—like sapphires, rubies, and emeralds—command higher market values than others. Natural, untreated stones are typically worth more.
Gemstone Size
Larger stones usually bring in higher payouts, especially if the quality is consistent throughout.
Color & Clarity
The intensity and purity of color, as well as the visibility of internal flaws or inclusions, directly affect market value.
Cut Quality
A well-cut stone maximizes brilliance and appeal, improving its resale potential and increasing your offer.
Treatment & Enhancement
Gemstones that have been heat-treated, fracture-filled, or dyed may be worth less than untreated, natural stones.
Certification
Having documentation from a trusted gemological lab (like GIA or AGS) helps validate your stone’s characteristics and increases buyer confidence, often leading to better offers.
市场需求
We factor in current resale demand when pricing your gemstone. Stones with fashionable colors, shapes, or historical popularity may yield better payouts.
