Here's how to read and understand this Price Guide... every gem graded with the GIA Gemset will have a Hue, Tone, & Saturation rating, as well as a Clarity rating. Using the Hue, Tone, & Saturation Numbers on the Gem Report, match the Hue, then match the Tone, & Saturation Numbers in the "Exceptional", "Very Good", or "Good" columns. This will tell you the overall Color Grade. Next using the Clarity Rating on the Gem Report, find the Price Chart having the same Clarity Rating, then match the Carat Weight of the gem with the applicable Color Grade column to arrive at the retail price per carat.
NOTE: all prices are per carat, so you need to multiply the price per carat to the carat weight of the gem.
Example: an Emerald that weighs 1.50 carats, with a "bG 5/5" hue, falls in the "Exceptional" tone and saturation category, and "VVS" clarity, is priced at $10,000 to $18,000 per carat, so multiply the carat weight 1.50 times $10,000 to get $15,000 for low retail, and 1.5 times $18,000 to get $27,000 as the high retail price. |
