What We Buy
We specialize in evaluating and purchasing a wide range of colored gemstone jewelry, including:
- Sapphires – Blue, pink, yellow, and fancy sapphires in rings, earrings, and pendants.
- Rubies – From deep pigeon blood rubies to lighter red stones, we buy ruby rings, necklaces, and heirloom pieces.
- Emeralds – Vivid green emeralds from Colombia, Zambia, and beyond, in loose stones or finished jewelry.
- Tourmaline – Pink, green, watermelon, and Paraíba tourmalines prized by collectors and investors.
- Spinel – Known for its brilliant sparkle and wide color range, spinel often rivals rubies and sapphires in beauty.
- Alexandrite – Rare and valuable for its dramatic color change from green to red, alexandrite jewelry is always in demand.
- Garnet – From classic deep red to vivid green tsavorite, garnets remain a favorite among gem lovers.
Whether your jewelry is vintage, designer, custom, or estate, we recognize its value and make competitive offers.
How Colored Stones Are Valued
Not all colored gemstones are created equal, and their value depends on several key factors:
- Color – The most important feature. Rich, vivid hues with strong saturation command the highest prices.
- Clarity – Fewer inclusions usually increase value, though some gems (like emeralds) are expected to have inclusions.
- Cut – A precise cut maximizes brilliance and enhances color.
- Carat Weight – Larger stones are rarer and more valuable, especially when paired with excellent color.
- Origin – Stones from renowned sources, such as Burmese rubies or Colombian emeralds, often sell for a premium.
- Treatment – Untreated gemstones hold more value than those with enhancements or synthetic alterations.
At Pacific Jewelry & Watches, our certified gemologists and appraisers carefully evaluate each stone using these criteria to ensure you receive an accurate, transparent offer.
