Gemstones are one of those precious jewels that are provided by nature. Natural Gemstones are so beautiful that anyone would fall in love with them (especially Girls & Women). And I guess this is one of the big reasons of their high demand.

People usually buy precious jewels in which gemstones are embedded. But in India, people buy single pieces of gemstones specifically for astrological purposes. So in India their demand is increasing day by day.

To fulfill this demand, there are a lot of Gemstone suppliers available in the market. Some of them are local retailers while others are online gemstone sellers. But the matter of fact is only a few of them are certified gemstone suppliers.

Yes, you heard me, there are many fake suppliers running their fake business in the market with immense progress. Most of the people are unaware about it because they don't know how to find out which one is original gemstone and which one is fake.

So here in this article, I am going to tell you 7 important factors you must ensure before buying gemstone online.

 

1. Be clear in what are you looking for?

As you know there are millions of websites available on the internet; You search for something and BOOM!

Thousands of results in front of you in which some are relevant while others are not, so never get mixed up with other things.

For e.g. suppose that you are looking for Zambian Emeralds; you make a search and the results are in front of you. But there may be some results in which Colombian Emeralds are present. So at that time you need to very focus about which type of gemstone you are looking for.


 2. In Gemstones, Color& Shape matters.

As I mentioned in the above point; don’t get mixed up with other relevant things. So even at this point it matters lot.

Do you know there are many different colors in a single gemstone breed?

If yes, then you are on the right track, but if no don’t worry, you’ll get to know now. Let me clear you with the help of an example.

Yellow Sapphire or Pukhraj color varies between greenish light yellow to orangish dark yellow. This difference in color is mainly because of their origin. Furthermore this color difference leads to change in the origin and gemstone family they belong. 

So choose wisely and read all the details and name carefully.


3. Gemstone Origin

One of the main reasons to check the origin is because of the Astrology origin of the Gemstone matters. Furthermore, by knowing Gemstone origin, you will also get to know the quality of Gemstone.

For e.g. In India, Kashmiri Blue Sapphires are very famous because of their quality and vivid color. But if you are referring to wearing Ceylon Blue Sapphire then Sri Lankan Ceylon’s are also very famous and top in their quality when it comes to sapphire gemstones like yellow and blue sapphire gemstones.

 

4. Any artificial interference

This is one of the most important points to notice while buying any gemstone online. Nowadays, low quality gemstones are treated with heat to remove their inclusions and enhance their quality, so that they could be sold with a high price tag.

And most important, if you are buying gemstone for astrology purposes, then you must go for Unheated & Untreated Gemstones because treated gemstones loose natural astrological powers. A natural stone always contains some inclusions or we can say the impurities that one can see easily. 

So while buying reads all the given description carefully. However, if there isn’t mention about any treatments, then you must connect with their support or customer care team.


5. Certification

One thing keep in mind, never ever buy any gemstone without certification. If the gemstone you are going to buy is original then your dealer must provide you certification from a certified Gem Laboratory.

From the above image, you can see a certification from GemLab Laboratories. This certification not only worth your money but also states the fact that you are buying an original gemstone from certified gem seller.


6. Comparison

Last but not the least, if you are sure about a gemstone and you are willing to buy it, never forget to compare. Select 3 to 4 online stores and compare the gemstone features like price, origin, certificate, etc. Comparing is always good, though it takes time, but it will ensure you that you are investing your money at right thing.

For e.g. if there is a difference in price, then compare other things like if they are providing you a certification or if there any treatment they made on the gemstone? Keep all these things in mind and choose the best one according to your requirements. This will make sure that you will get gemstone at best price in India or any other regions.

 

7. Public Reviews

This is also a very important factor to consider while buying gemstone online. Even there are possibilities that all of the above points validate at some point, but yet you are not sure! So at that point, you can rely upon Public Reviews.

Obviously, those companies (from which you are buying) have other customers like you. So if they reviewed their products as Good Product, then no more further worries just go for it. Happy Buying!!
