A gemmologist in Angers for your precious stones

The expertise of a gemmologist in Angers could be useful to you, if you need to have a precious or fine stone appraised. However, beyond the knowledge of a gem professional, you can also benefit from custom jewelry design.

What is a gemmologist?

A gemmologist is a professional working with precious and semi-precious stones, known as "gems", who regularly travels to buy them in the countries where the mines/markets are located, and analyzes them to assess their quality and price.

The profession, which uses a wide range of technical equipment, requires a broad knowledge of mineralogy and negotiation skills, as well as a thorough understanding of the gemstone market.

It's easy to confuse, for example, an orange sapphire with a spessartite garnet. Some stones bear specific names evoking an origin, but can in fact be mined in several places around the world, such as Paraiba tourmaline.

Prices are sometimes difficult to understand, as when a black opal from Australia costs more than an emerald. And then there are the fake stones. Experts are indispensable in this particularly complex world.
