our colored gemstone procurement services

From mineral-rich mountains to rare igneous rock sites, colored gemstones are some of nature’s most precious creations. As colored gemstone specialists, we leverage our far-reaching network to procure pristine emeralds, rubies, sapphires, and beyond. Although the gemstone sourcing process requires precision, clear criteria, and meticulous attention to detail, we routinely go to extensive lengths on behalf of our patrons, living up to our trusted englow namesake in the process.

 

For collectors, investors, and wearers alike, we begin the gemstone search process by understanding a myriad of desired attributes such as gemstone type, size, clarity, cut, colour and budget. At englow, transparency and understanding take precedent.

In recent years, colored gemstones have grown significantly in popularity driven by an elevated awareness and a desire to be different. After seeing the compelling colors and dazzling dispersion throughout these breathtaking stones, patrons are driving demand upward. Even amidst the surge, our englow specialists are steadfast in our grading criteria, considering the “Six C’s” throughout our gemstone selection process.

These include:

  • Carat

  • Certification

  • Character

  • Clarity

  • Color

  • Cut

The valuation of gemstones - seriousness and reliability

Ultimately, a gemstone that receives high marks within the categories above, especially in an untreated state, is destined for desirability. Of course, the merit behind a gemstone’s certification source is key, as certain grading institutions carry higher prestige than others. While diamonds are commonly associated with the “Four C’s” to define their value, gemstones feature countless subtleties that require additional criteria. Even still, the beauty of these rare gems is in the eyes of the beholder.

 

From our expert perspective at englow, we make assessments based on several specific protocols. For instance, examining gemstones using natural light facilitates an impartial evaluation. Likewise, strong saturation is a hallmark for quality. Even minute inclusions are a testament to the unique character and history behind a gemstone. At the same time, clarity is a key determinant of a stone’s eminence.

 

Color, of course, is of particular importance. Certain gemstones such as emeralds and rubies exhibit pleochroism, a visual phenomenon where multiple colors emulate from a single stone depending on the perspective from which the gemstone is observed. Considering that an even color distribution with a medium tone is preferred, skilled craftsmen are able to minimize the effect of pleochroism through their final cut. As part of the meaning behind certain gemstones, birthdays carry special significance.

In particular, collectors and wearers alike oftentimes gravitate toward birthstones in celebration of the personal significance they represent. Each month features a unique gemstone.

 

January: Garnet
February: Amethyst
March: Aquamarine and Bloodstone
April: Diamond
May: Emerald
June: Alexandrite, Pearl, and Moonstone
July: Ruby
August: Peridot and Spinel
September: Sapphire
October: Opal and Tourmaline
November: Topaz and Citrine
December: Zircon, Turquoise, and Tanzanite

 

Just as ancient civilizations connected with gemstones on an intimately personal and oftentimes mystical basis, we recommend that wearers make selections based on what resonates with them as opposed to societal expectations. Upon completion of the sourcing process, gemstones can be carved, forged, and shaped with unparalleled precision to perfectly radiate and reflect light with stunning appeal. Afterward, an aura of tangible spirituality can be felt, building a distinct connection between a gemstone and the owner.
