This popped up in my YouTube feed today so I clicked - and this appraiser’s advice surprised me, what are your thoughts?
She appears to be confusing stone with saturation as mentioned by @EC8. At least she will make some people happy when they hear their dark, inky sapphire is very valuable.
Daisy your sapphire may well be quite valuable; I think the general idea is that the determination isn’t just made on depth of color.
unfortunately i have a dark inky saphire
sigh
ive desided to not watch because im still learning and i don't want, for want of a better expression- to put false positives in my head
Hi Daisy. I was just making a point and all in all personal preference is what is the most valuable when choosing a gemstone. But in general, dark, inky sapphires should cost less than medium or medium dark, well saturated ones.
Eh, this might be useful in discerning quality of more commonly found jewelry.
I'm not sure she means this to apply to heirloom quality jewelry.
I think she is trying to be helpful, but in 3 minutes, you can only cover so much information.Ring settings with a lot of emphasis on metal adornment usually contain mediocre stones?? Buttercup would disagree - do you?
ok maybe I'll watch![]()
its from ...
......... the mall
all my jewlery is pre me joining PS
i actually still love the shape and style
but it had to be made to measure because i have little sussage fingers
i don't remember the one in the display case being so dark
i should have said something at the time
it might look ok at night
sorry to go off topic
Don't let what should be steal your joy for what you love that is.
Nu-uh, none of that darlin'.![]()
