About Hessonite Garnet
While many garnets are mostly known for their rich red colouring, Garnet gems can occur in a variety of colours ranging from dull to vibrant Yellows and greens, to vivid purple such as the grape garnet and rose Pink Rhodolites, and the ultra rare Umballites. Hessonites deviate from this norm and are part of the Grossular garnet family. While many are shades of green, Hessonites are typically a unique cinnamon orange-ish red in colour. Whiule Hessonites themselves are not an uncommon stone, beautiful translucent specimens command a significant value. large Hessonites with excellent clarity and colour command a particularly high price as a collectors gem. Hessonites will range in colour from a warm, yellow to reddish tone ending in the prized cinnamon colour.
More On Appraisal Certificates
Appraisal Certificates are done from accredited appraisers and represent the retail insurance replacement value for an item. While many companies do appraisals (such as jewelry stores), it is important to receive an appraisal by a group that does not involve themselves in the buying or selling of Gems or jewelry pieces as to avoid any conflict of interest. We typically use AGL or GS Labs (Gemscan), accredited appraisal companies (with Global Offices) for the Jewelry industry, located in downtown Toronto. We also have a number of Certificates from EGL a global appraisal company to the gem industry whose Toronto offices have since closed down.
An appraisal will assign a monetary value to a Gem or piece of jewelry and is ultimately subjective based on the appraiser's criteria for grading and experience. For this reason, only accredited and experienced appraisers are used to evaluate stones. An appraisal is not an indication of your buying power, that depends on your ability to "wheel and deal" as well as your source of supply and ability to buy in parcel lots or in bulk.
GS allows you to check Appraisal cert numbers online.
