Which gemstone is rarer than diamonds?

While diamonds are iconic, colored gemstones such as alexandrite, padparadscha sapphire, and Burmese ruby are significantly rarer in fine qualities.

What determines the value of a gemstone?

Value is driven by color, clarity, cut, and carat weight, along with origin, rarity, and demand in the collector market.

Are rare gemstones a good investment?

Fine untreated gemstones with strong provenance hold enduring value and often appreciate over time due to their scarcity.
