How to Buy Faceted Gemstones

Tsavorite Garnet

Buying cut gemstones can be, and usually is a complicated thing to do for the average buyer. There is very little practical advice available to help guide a person looking to purchase gem stones.

What I am going to do in this section of my website is try to provide some real life practical advice and my opinions about finding and buying gemstones.

These are my personal opinions and experiences, other people may have different ones.

Please keep in mind that these are guidelines and my experiecenes and opinions on colors, types, cutting. Beauty is often in the eye of the beholder and if a person likes a stone or color, just because it appeals to them. Then that is the gem stone they should buy. In other words read my advice, it should help you make good decisions, but ultimately a gems stone is a personal decision and you should buy what you like.
