Color
The most defining characteristic of a gemstone is its beautiful color. Many jewellers consider it to be the most important evaluation criterion. When deciding upon gemstone color also examine hue, tone, and saturation.
Hue
The most valuable gemstones are those that exhibit a pure color and only "slight" hues of other colors in addition to their primary color.
Tone
This represents the depth of color, ranging from colorless to black. Gemstone tone is described as "light," "medium-light," "medium," "medium-dark," and "dark."
Saturation
This is also known as Color purity, refers to the degree to which the gem is free from brown or gray hues. The most desirable gemstones, which show little gray or brown, are often described as having "vivid" or "strong" color saturation. The gemstones in our jewellery are hand-selected for their vivid colors.
