PLEASE READ AND EXAMINE ALL INFORMATION, PHOTOS, TERMS AND CONDITIONS PRIOR TO BIDDING. IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBTS ABOUT ANYTHING PLEASE ASK.

EXTREMELY IMPORTANT -  When  a gemstone is HEAT TREATED ONLY it means that only heat has been applied and in most instances is considered standard trade practice. Those gems which are not Heat Treaed demand a minimum premium of 30%.

When you see gems listed with a treatment of "heat", this does not mean heat only. Glass filling, Beryllium treatment, Diffusion coating etc are all aplied by heat. These other treatments have a huge bearing in the price. It is simply impossible for a reputable dealer to supply a top blue sapphire or ruby for a few dollars. Ask questions and clarify this for your own peace of mind.

If you don't understand or feel that something needs clarification ASK.

Gemstones are photographed under natural daylight with a neutral background. Photos of gemstones are of the original gem for sale. NO STOCK PHOTOS. Photographing gemstones is extremely difficult in duplicating the exact colour and details.

We try to do our utmost to obtain the most precise results. Please be aware that different monitors maybe set to different resolution or colours may show up slightly differently from monitor to monitor.

(NB: due to the size of the photos some inclusions do not show as much in real life)
