A guide to gemstone grades and quality

Gemstones have long been admired for their beauty and special properties. If you want to know more about gemstone quality, this quick guide will give you useful information about the different gemstone grades and the grades of gemstones we use at Haloom.

Do gemstones have different grades/different quality?

Yes, gemstones do come in different grades or qualities that affect how they look and how valuable they are. Let's explore the grading system to understand it better.

The grades of gemstone quality

Gemstones are commonly categorized into different grades, indicating their overall quality. Here are the key grades to familiarize yourself with:

  1. AAA or A+: Exceptional quality
    • Clear, flawless gemstones with excellent color and luster
    • Highly sought after and more expensive due to their rarity
  2. AA or A: Very good quality
    • Mostly clear gemstones with minor inclusions or flaws
    • Exhibit good color and luster, making them highly desirable
  3. A/B or B: Good quality and affordability
    • Visually appealing gemstones with noticeable inclusions or flaws
    • Slightly less vibrant color and luster compared to higher grades
    • Offer good quality options at a more affordable price point
  4. B/C or C: Unique character and value
    • Gemstones with more visible inclusions, flaws, or color irregularities
    • Lack the clarity and beauty of higher grades
    • Possess unique characteristics and offer a rustic or natural aesthetic

How do prices differ for each grade?

The pricing of gemstones varies based on their grade and factors such as rarity and demand. Generally, higher-grade gemstones command higher prices, while lower-grade gemstones tend to be more affordable. Factors influencing pricing include clarity, color, size, and overall aesthetic appeal.
