Choosing Crystal Jewelry
Crystal jewelry is synonymous with timelessness. These treasures are crafted to last an eternity, standing the test of time and generations unless lost or stolen. This enduring quality makes them a popular symbol of love and affection, whether for a partner or oneself. While men might be content with a pair or two, for women, it's often a different story.
Finding the Best
In a jewelry store, crystal pieces may look similar, but no two are identical in value. The real value of crystal jewelry is determined by four key qualities: color, clarity, cut, and carat weight. These standards apply to most gemstones as well.
If you're planning to buy crystal jewelry for yourself or a loved one, consider these important factors:
1. Clarity: This is the primary aspect to examine. Clarity is determined by the presence or absence of natural flaws or inclusions, which aren’t visible to the naked eye but can affect the gem’s quality. Fewer and smaller inclusions mean higher value. Perfect clarity refers to no inclusions visible upon examination. Understanding clarity characteristics is crucial when purchasing.
2. Color: Crystal jewelry spans the full color spectrum, yet a colorless diamond remains the most prized. The difference in color grade is subtle to the eye but significant in value. Colorless pieces are more valuable than off-white ones, except for “fancy” diamonds in rare colors like pink, blue, red, green, and yellow, which are highly treasured.
3. Cut: The cut is crucial as it greatly influences a gem’s fire and brilliance. Not all jewelers fully understand the “cut.” It can refer to the shape (round, marquise, oval, etc.), and to the proportions or polish of the piece. Each contributes to the overall appeal and value of the jewelry.
4. Carat Weight: Carat weight refers to the weight rather than the size, though it’s commonly associated with specific sizes. Properly cut diamonds of the same weight should be about the same size. However, this doesn't apply to other gems due to different specific gravities. Bigger isn’t always better. A smaller diamond might boast higher clarity, color, or a more precise cut, making it equally valuable.
Always avoid confusing weight with size, and remember no two crystal pieces are exactly the same size, even if they weigh differently.
By keeping these factors in mind, you'll be better equipped to choose a piece of crystal jewelry that truly resonates with timeless elegance and personal meaning.
