About Zircon Gems

Zircon is a natural stone often confused with diamond because of its tremendous brilliance and similarity in appearance. Zircon is an important gemstone of many colors, and has been used to adorn the jewelry of royalty for thousands of years. . The Gem appears a a dark brown, green or red color after extraction and changes color when heated. Most blue stones are pastel blue, but some exceptional gems have a bright blue color. Zircon is also available in green, dark red, purple, yellow, brown and orange. Specimens of this gem fetch $400 or more per carat with exceptional gems and cuts going for far more depending on size and colour.

More On Appraisal Certificates

We do not appraise in-house. Only third party appraisal companies are used for certification and valuation of gems.

Appraisal Certificates are done from accredited appraisers and represent the retail insurance replacement value for an item. While many companies do appraisals (such as jewelry stores), it is important to receive an appraisal by a group that does not involve themselves in the buying or selling of Gems or jewelry pieces as to avoid any conflict of interest. We typically use Multiple accredited appraisal companies (with Global Offices) for the Jewelry industry, located in the downtown Toronto area or surrounding region. We also have a number of Certificates from EGL a global appraisal company to the gem industry whose Toronto offices have since closed down.

An appraisal will assign a monetary value to a Gem or piece of jewelry and is ultimately subjective based on the appraiser's criteria for grading and experience. For this reason, only accredited and experienced appraisers are used to evaluate stones. An appraisal is not an indication of your buying power, that depends on your ability to "wheel and deal" as well as your source of supply and ability to buy in parcel lots or in bulk.
