How To Identify Unique High End Jewelry

By Helga Stokes


In modern times, the desire for traditional and antique is on the rise. This is increasingly true of the new generations who do not possess either the knowledge of or the valuables themselves. Even the skill sets of producing them are somehow lost to them. In such a scenario, it becomes extremely crucial to revive the art and also hone skills on unique high end jewelry. This would become especially helpful if you choose to deal in rare and exclusive gems and stones.

Before you take the plunge, however, you need to prepare yourself well. You need to be able to tell the quality of a jewel and if it is fake or genuine. If you are paying for it, you need to make doubly sure you are paying the true worth of the commodity.

One of the first things you must do is check the authenticity of the jeweller himself. The person or shop selling you the jewelry must be certified and authentic. Without certification, the trustworthiness of the shop, seller or products themselves is highly dubious.

The next step would be to check the value of the jewel itself. If you are in the nascent stages of expertise, consult someone who is more of a veteran. It is important to pay the correct price for the piece you wish to buy, and more so because high quality gems are always precious and expensive.

If you have recently developed interest in gems, some quick training may be necessary. You could start with some research and investigation using the Internet. Get your basics right by identifying the various kinds and qualities of jewels. It is also important to understand the basic terminology, so that you are conversant with an expert when you meet one.

Courses for a short period of time can also be considered for those truly eager to start with the business as soon as possible. These courses and classes would help you get familiar with the stones and learn about the latest trends and methods. However, if you are unable to attend physical classes, online ones can be searched too.

The best way to increase knowledge about any area of interest or stud is to read more and more about it. The same goes for exclusive jewelry. Along with reading, you could also attend workshops, exhibitions, fairs and other events for high end gems.

Having acquired the basic knowledge, you need to spend time with the stones themselves. Study, analyze and evaluate them and their details as much as possible. You need to train yourself to become a connoisseur.

If you are starting your own practice of chic and exclusive gemstones, it may also be a good idea to do a survey of what sort of competition you have in the market. You should not enter a market already monopolized by a leading player. Conversely, presenting something no other jeweller has offered so far would mark your differentiation instantly.

Becoming an expert in unique high end jewelry is important for both buyers and dealers of the products. While for the former it is important to know the true worth, for the latter it is industry knowledge and trends that must be followed religiously.
