Why So Cheap?
Will this gemstone end up in the Crown Jewels? No. Would they be used in products from Van Cleef and Arpel, Cartier, or Tiffany? Also probably no.
These are “B” rated gemstones; meaning they are the real thing, but not up to the standards for top tier jewelry. They’re great for collecting, making your own jewelry, or even as an investment. They’ve been relegated to the “B” team due to many reasons; stone isn’t perfect in clarity, the stone needed treatments to make them presentable, etc.
