Questions to ask before choosing a gemstone

A beautiful image is a starting point. Before deciding to buy, request photographs from several angles or a short video of the actual available stone. Ask for weight, dimensions in millimetres, shape, price and the contents of the package. Check whether the offer is for a loose stone or includes a ring. Ask about colour treatment, other treatments, visible cracks and any identification report. A trade name or a geographic name alone does not establish identity or origin. Ask what supports a claim that a stone is natural, untreated or from a particular location. Illustrative catalogue images do not confirm stock. Traditional associations are cultural information, not a promise about health, income or luck. Enquire on WhatsApp for actual availability and a final price.
