The expertise of a gemologist in Angers could be useful to you if you need to have a precious or semi-precious stone appraised. However, beyond the knowledge of a gemstone professional, you can also benefit from custom jewelry creation.
What is a gemologist?
A gemologist is a professional specializing in precious and semi-precious stones, known as "gems", who regularly travels to purchase them in countries where the mines/markets are located and analyzes them in order to assess their quality and price.
The profession, which is practiced using multiple technical tools, requires in particular a range of knowledge in mineralogy and negotiation skills, as well as a thorough understanding of the gemstone market.
Mistakes are easy to make, for example, between an orange sapphire and a spessartite garnet.Some stones have specific names that evoke an origin, but can actually be mined in several places around the world, such as Paraiba tourmaline.
Prices are sometimes difficult to understand, such as when a black opal from Australia costs more than an emerald. In addition, there are fake stones. Experts are essential in this particularly complex field.

The expertise of a gemologist for your precious stones in Angers
A gemologist can assist you with many aspects related to precious and semi-precious stones. Indeed, they are a professional who knows the cuts of precious stones. They are also highly knowledgeable about the various treatments applied to gems, including those that pose no issues, such as heating sapphires, and those that devalue the stones.
Furthermore, gemologists are familiar with the metals used in jewelry making, manufacturing techniques, the evolution of styles, as well as the history or certain periods in the history of jewelry.
