Start with our gemstone buying focus

Our gemstone buying is limited to large, high-quality stones. We are interested in pieces such as Ceylon blue sapphires, green Colombian emeralds and Burmese rubies. A certificate or laboratory report is welcome but is not required to request an evaluation.

If you have a sapphire ring, pendant, earrings or another fine jewelry piece, describe the stone, its approximate dimensions if known and the setting. Explain what you know about its origin and what remains uncertain. Ceylon is the name traditionally used in the trade for Sri Lankan origin; a blue appearance alone does not establish that origin.

Discuss quality, size and condition together

GIA’s sapphire quality guide discusses color, clarity, cut and carat weight. A large stone should still be assessed for its actual quality and condition. Likewise, a desirable color description does not identify all the details needed for a purchase decision.

Bring the jewelry intact. Note chips, wear, repaired settings or replaced stones that you know about. If the sapphire is mounted, ask which details can be established and which are estimated. Do not remove it yourself just to prepare an inquiry.

Information to shareUseful context

Claimed originWhether it comes from a report, receipt or family history
Treatment historyAny information already known or documented
Complete settingMetal, additional stones, condition and maker records

Bring a report if you have one

GIA’s colored-stone services distinguish identification reports from reports that also address geographic origin. Read the exact document and any treatment information, rather than assuming every certificate provides the same conclusions.

GIA’s sapphire buying guide explains that an origin opinion can be provided when possible. A buyer still needs to examine the actual item. If you have no certificate, contact us first; do not order a new report simply because you assume one is required to start.

Keep sapphire and diamond acceptance distinct

The large, high-quality requirement applies to our gemstone buying. Our separate diamond-buying service purchases natural cut and polished diamonds in any size or shape. We do not buy laboratory-grown, uncut or rough diamonds.

For sapphire and diamond jewelry, ask what the offer includes and how the complete setting was considered. Existing records and the estate jewelry inventory guide can help organize a larger collection.
