First, jewel’s materials and textures are important. Nothing could more prior to the quality of gems and adornments if you want to make out a high-end jewels. It’s no more better to opt gold, platinum or 18k gold when it’s concerning about a jewel ornamentation. Why we should choose those high value adornments? The answer is not only for its intrinsic values, but also for a better matching, and could be capable of enhancing the precious jewel’s quality and grading class.
When it comes to choose a ornamentation, shiny diamonds come as the best choice. Because, a white diamond could be glittering and can pull up the main stone’s shining effects. Such a combo can be able to strengthen a sense of luxe and a fantastic visual result. In the next comes to the main character for a jewel, the stone. Five main precious stones or other high-quality semi-stones are all ideal options for a fine jewel. Of course, the quality of the main stone has a critical influence to the jewel’s value. When you are prepared to choose the stone, besides a full consideration of the stone’s species and original place, the strict 4C standard also needs to be measured. (4C=Carat, Clarity, Cut and Color) Another important hint is that natural stones has a long-term investment value, but those synthesized deserve nothing.
Then we should come to decide whether or not it is natural and rare. Jewel lovers know that a precious jewel accumulates its value for its special historical meaning or being collected by a historical person. For instance, Elizabeth Taylor’s emerald diamond gained extra value for its star power. It was bought by the British royal family. Princess Diana wore it and, now Princess Kate owns it. It comes to two sides to evaluate a jewel’s historical value. One side is the design. Classical design could be a conception to show the wearer’s taste and aesthetic understanding. The other side is the inserted stone. We should measure the stone’s historical value and its nature feature. With the deepen exploitation, and a changing nature, natural stones have become greatly rare. The chances to dig a high-carat, and high-quality uncut stone has be descending. Some stone base even has come to an end. Thus, a rare and high-quality stone has a tremendously potential investment value such as Kashmir Sapphire, and Pigeon Blood Ruby. But what comes first before to assume a jewel’s historical value is to secure its authentication on its quality and natural feature. Thus, a certification issued by an authorized institute could be regarded as a value authentication. In addition, we need an strict scrutiny on those antiques with a support of precise equipment and skilled experience.
The third point is about stone setting technique. Each famous brand has its traditionally unique design and setting techniques, such as Van Cleef & Arpel’s Mysterious Setting and Tiffany Setting. An unique technique and what a brand’s feature is are two inseparable and decisive factors to a jewel. They hold the jewel’s general key and are able to demonstrate the material’s actual brilliance. How to release the stone’s glows in a restrained yet elegant way is always the main concern for designers. For them, a perfect skills, and a free innovation together with a meticulous design are the necessary preconditions for a high-end jewels.
The last but not the least point is to check how much aesthetic it is related to. A sense of beauty and art is what people all pursue concerning about a piece of a jewel. Usually, inspiration comes from actual life. In a imitation way, life or nature, even human being’s mood is splashed into piece by piece, and then injected into those nonparallel jewel works. The success of a jewel comes to a deep beauty and aesthetic essence that we can capture from a work. A particular inspiration that melted into a jewel piece can bring forth endless appreciation and art value.
