Ever since mining became a common place, and finding gemstones became relatively easier, humans became more fascinated with these hoping to own at least one or more during their lifetimes. It is said people converted all there money into gemstones making it possible to transfer it from one place to another easily.

Gemstones have been famous throughout the world even during ancient times. Several Indian and Egyptian empires have boasted of wealth that could easily be translated into billions of dollars.

Method of valuation:

Each gemstone is valued differently. It is especially based on the carat system. Higher the carats, higher the price of the gemstone, this is not however the only factor in gemstone valuation. Value will also depend on clarity of gems, purity, color, size, strength, etc. some high quality gems are said to have clear colors and above all required strength and size.

Gemstones used in jewelry are indeed original; it depends on where you buy them. However, today different consumer protection forums have tried to protect the consumer by making it compulsory of gemstone dealers to issue certificate of authenticity.
