Precious Gems Brisbane
The Big Three! Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald are the traditional Precious Gems that you will find in all Brisbane jewellery stores, either natural or synthetic, in all qualities and prices. Our collection of precious gems below is designed for all levels of gem buyers.
Due to the wide variety of qualities in the jewellery market we recommend discussing any precious gems for sale with our expert consultants.
Brisbane Gem Dealers
When searching for the perfect precious gem, a skilled Brisbane gem dealer is essential for assisting you through the complexity of options that can be sourced from around the world. Australia is a small market for precious gemstones with limited choice, so we often have to source directly from the mines and dealers overseas to find the right gem for our clients. Each gem variety is rarely defined by just one type but rather comes in a range of qualities and colour tones from different origins. A Gemstone’s traits can be very individual, making it difficult to put them on a defined grading scale for quality, price and appearance.
Our expert gem dealers can work with you to determine the best gem to buy based on the budget, colour and quality of the gem that you require.
Premium Jewellery Grade Precious Gems
With the sale price and rarity of premium, jewellery grade precious gems, there needs to be assurances of your purchase, so a recognised gem certificate or valuation is essential for verification. There are so many fake, synthetic, treated and very low quality precious gems in the market that it can be almost impossible to know what you are buying and at what price. Having a trusted jeweller or gem merchant to support you through the process of buying a precious gem and providing all of the verification is the only way to ensure that you buy the right precious gem.
What Price should you pay for a Precious Gemstone
The stand out factor that creates the premium price of the three big precious gems is the rarity of a perfect jewellery grade gem, so what price should you pay? Precious gems are graded based on size, origin, colour, clarity, cut and brilliance, which can be difficult to accurately define on a grading chart, making pricing quite complex. Essentially, the more that you spend on a gemstone, the better it should look. Most gems will often pass through several owners until they reach a final buyer with each owner taking a small profit along the way. The best way to ensure you buy the right quality gem, at the most competitive price, is to trust in the skill and knowledge of your Brisbane merchant to source and select your gem from the most direct supply.
Precious Gem alternatives
As the price and rarity of the 3 major precious gem varieties increase, many people are searching for alternative natural gemstones for their jewellery. There are so many rare and amazing coloured gemstones, in an array of brilliant colours that are just as beautiful as the precious gems. These gems are often
more affordable with better quality, brilliance and larger sizes to make unique and bold colourful jewellery. To find out what alternatives may work for your needs, contact one of our consultants today!

Synthetic vs Natural Gemstones
Nothing will ever replace the desire for a natural mined gemstone but for almost every natural gemstone discovered there has been a synthetic option that has been created. Many of the most valuable gemstones have chemically identical created or synthetic commercially available gems and are often more perfect than the natural option. Synthetic gems are easily created and very inexpensive, making them highly prone to fraud by unsuspecting buyers in many countries. Even the cheaper quality natural gemstones can have synthetic copies made with glass or other materials to replicate their appearance. It is very important when buying a gem to know if you are selecting a natural or synthetic gemstone and a reputable seller will guide you and provide appropriate assurance or certification for your gem.
Gemstone Treatment
It is also important to understand that many natural gemstones can be treated in a whole variety of ways to improve their quality and appearance. Some of these are permanently acceptable industry standard processes to improve an already quality gem and others are less acceptable. Treatments that are not permanent or will drastically improve the quality of a poor-grade gem to appear like a high-quality natural gem are fine as long as they have been identified as part of the sale and the price is reflective of the treatment. Identifying treatments used on gems can be quite complex, as new processes are created authorities are always working to keep up with the technology. Premium gemstones that are certified to prove that they have not been treated in any way will always command a premium price. This is a complex field and every gem will have its own group of possible treatments, highlighting why it is so important to deal with an experienced gem dealer.
