Gems Enhancement

Enhancement in colored gemstones is defined as any process apart from cutting and polishing, which improves the appearance, durability, or availability of a gemstone.
Almost all available gemstones in the market are subjected to enhancement. The ones that haven’t been are sporadic and very valuable.
As a buyer, request a grading report or analysis for a colored gemstone if you buy a gemstone that has not been enhanced.
The grading report should affirm that the gem indicates no signs of enhancement by heat. The jewelry industry worldwide recognizes heating as an acceptable and expected process for enhancement.
It is part of the standard polishing and finishing process for various gemstones.
