Large Gems    Custom Cut Gems Small And Large Gems  Page  1   2      A large gemstone is obviously one that has large dimensions and a proportionately large carat weight. If you had to cut an agate stone to a large 18mm x 12mm oval shape and starved it to a 3 carat weight, it would be quite useless. The gem stone weight needs to support the large stone dimensions, if this does not happen the gem could be too thin an fragile. It is not uncommon for jewelers to trick innocent buyers by cutting opaque gems with insufficient weight. When it comes to a large gemstone that is transparent, proportionate weight is also responsible for giving enough 'body' to the stone. In this case facet reflections and color saturation will be influenced by the gem depth which in turn requires stone weight. There is no standard that can be used to define which gem is large and which is not. Basically, the size of any gem that can be called large would depend on a few factors. The gem stone type, weight and quality would be the major deciding factors. For example if you wanted a large sapphire gem stone but did not care much about color, clarity and transparency you could get a large sapphire that weighs around 7 to 8 carats. The gem would be almost black and heavily included, a large sapphire gem of this type can be even as high as 10 carats. Such a gem would cost you no more than 400 U.S$ On the other hand if you need a good quality blue sapphire with ceylon blue sapphire color and fairly good color saturation, expect a size beyond 3 carats to be a large gem. Be prepared to pay out at least 2,500 U.S$ for such a large blue sapphire gem.   We saw above how, the same gem type can refer to different sizes as being a large gem when quality differs. Let us now discuss how the definition of a large gem stone can differ depending on gem stone types. A good example is blue topaz, a stone that is available in sizes that can go as high as 40 to 50 carats. Though that size is not very common, you can get a 15 carat eye clean swiss blue topaz for around 200 U.S$. So a large blue topaz gem could be in the 10 carat and above range. Put this gem up against a ruby, another expensive gemstone that is rarely found in eye clean quality beyond the 1.5 to 2 carat size. A large gem with reference to a ruby would mean a 3 carat and above gem, this with medium grade quality. If you wanted a top quality Burmese ruby in the 3 carat range that was 'almost' eye clean and has a good color and color saturation, there is a very slim chance of finding one. And even if you did, expect to pay around 6,000 U.S$ to 8,000 U.S$ for such a gemstone. Gemstone origin can sometimes restrict the size of a gem that can be called large. A good example is spessartite garnet, which was originally mined in Namibia. The gem stone was so rare that large gems meant Namibian spessartite gemstones in the 1.5 carat and above range! A few years later the arrival of spessartite from Nigeria overturned the entire gem stone industry. You can now get large spesssartite stones in the 3 to 4 carat range quite easily. However if you want a large Namibian spessartite, be prepared to restrict your selection to the 1.5 to 2 carat weight range. Pay a premium price and get a stone that looks quite ordinary! The large gems shown on our website have been selected based on a number of factors and not merely, on dimensions or carat weight. We can procure and custom cut any gem that you need. If you need the stone to be within a specific budget, give us an idea of your budget too and we will work with you to decide on the best gem to suit your requirements and budget.

Having established itself as the world's leading online custom jewelry provider, Kaisilver now extends it's merchandise line to include gems. While there is no shortage of gem stones in the global market, reliable sources for the retail buyer requirements are not many. Most retail gem dealers work with limited inventories, this reduces buyer options.

Kaisilver with it's wide network of gemstone mining and manufacturing resources, is the best source for gems of all types, shapes, sizes and cuts. With a support team that is compromised of jewelry and gemstone experts, the advice and suggestions made by the team relate to your requirements and not to fixed sales targets.

All gems are sourced directly from the source, closely inspected and then custom cut by our expert cutters.

We do not expect you to make a rush purchase. We do wish that you take the time to discuss your requirements with our experts. They will be in a position to provide constructive suggestions that will guide you to make well informed buying decisions. Email all your requirements to sales@kaisilver.com provide as much inputs as possible to help us make relevant suggestions. For example if you are keen on getting a green gemstone but, are not particular about it being an emerald mention this in your email. Our gem experts might suggest a green tourmaline or even a peridot instead of an emerald. This suggestion would reduce our profit margins but will give you a gem that, is much cheaper and even more durable as compared to an emerald. When it comes to payments we offer some very suitable options. Paypal is the preferred form of payment, it is fair to the buyer and seller. The buyer when using paypal never needs to reveal credit card of bank information to the seller. We also accept direct bank transfers but prefer to do this on a case by case basis. When it comes to online transactions these days, both buyer and seller are afraid of frauds. It is quite possible that you do not feel comfortable working with us at Kaisilver. We sometimes feel a little uncomfortable with certain transactions too and prefer to keep away from them. There have always been fears of processing payments through Western Union money transfers. With the latest fraud reports, fake sellers and even fake buyers have been pulling off many online frauds using this mode of payment. At the same time we do understand that armed forces from the U.S who are stationed in various global positions sometimes have no other mode of payment besides Western Union. We therefore accept this mode of payment but at the same time, request you to avoid this mode if you do not feel comfortable using it. Shipping is done through FEDEX and you can expect a production lead time of around 4 to 5 weeks from the date of order confirmation and receipt of payment. Every jewel is fully custom made and requires the complete attention and concentration of highly skilled craftsmen. When it comes to gems, we could provide faster lead times and this can be discussed for each specific order. Buyer Testimonials. Below are a few comments from some of our buyers.

For example, a good sapphire can be priced at around 450 U.S$ for a 1 carat stone. However as gem size becomes larger there is no direct and simple calculation to derive the price. For example, a sapphire with the same quality but a higher carat size will cost much higher per carat. Looking at the above example, a large blue sapphire of around 4 carats and the same quality as the 1 carat stone (mentioned above) would sell for around 1,000 U.S$ per carat. While a 3 carat good quality tanzanite would be called a large gem stone, a 2 carat swiss blue topaz cannot be called large. As blue topaz can be found in sizes of around 30 carats to 50 carats too. So the gemstone type would also define what a large gem would weigh. The quality of the gem surely needs to be considered before you can call it a large gem stone. For example very low quality emeralds can be purchased in sizes of around 5 to 8 carats. These are dark and dull emeralds that have no clarity or lustre. If you compared them to a good grade emerald weighing just 3 carats, you surely cannot say that the 3 carat good quality emerald gem is not large. The comparison of large gems and not large gems needs to be limited to natural gems. If you had to compare a 2 carat natural alexandrite with a 7 carat lab created (fake) alexandrite, it would be a comparison with no meaning at all. The above classification will give you a rough idea, your jeweler should be able to provide more specific information depending on the type of gemstone, quality and even origin of the gem. Email our support team at sales@kaisilver.com if you have any specific query or requirements. No purchase is necessary to get the benefit of our expertise. Kaisilver has direct and preferential access to the world's leading gemstone mining operations. This allows us to get the best of the gems for our buyers.
