Know the material before you buy
Burmese amber: Amber is fossilised tree resin. Some pieces contain inclusions; examine close-up photographs and the information supplied for the individual piece.
Jade: Consider the material, colour, translucency and any disclosed treatment. A trade name or symbolic meaning does not establish quality.
Ruby, sapphire and spinel: Compare colour, dimensions, shape and condition. Ask about treatments and any available gemmological report.
Other gemstones: Use the actual product details as your starting point. If the material, colour or origin is unclear, request clarification before buying.
Check the details before buying
If a piece has a gemmological report, compare its photograph, measurements and weight with the item. The findings apply to the tested sample, not every product in the shop. Ask us which pieces have reports and request a copy before ordering.
Read about GIT and gem testing to understand the information in a gemmological report.
