We are often asked: what are the most valuable Types of Jewelry? Keep reading to learn about the most precious types of jewels in all the world.
Clear Diamonds Are Not the Most Valuable Gem in the World
It is a common misconception that your typical clear diamond, when of the highest clarity, is the most valuable gem in the world. This is false. While they can be quite valuable, there are some gems that can cost literally millions of dollars for a single carat.
Jadeite
This is a green stone, and in fact, the greener the better – and the more value it has. Mined in China and Guatemala, the Jadeite is one of the rarest stones on planet earth and can sell for as much as three million dollars per carat.
Red Diamonds
As the name implies, these diamonds are deep red, sometimes a reddish-purple. They are mined only in Australia and are very rare. Depending on the quality and size, they can go for as much as $2 to $2.5 million per single carat.
Serendibite
This is actually a mineral and includes boron content. Mined in areas of Burma and Sri Lank, it generally has a bluish-green color. If you have this type of gem, you can expect that it would sell for anywhere from $1.8 to $2 million per carat.
Blue Garnet
While garnet is not a rare stone, it is generally a red color. The blue-green version is much rarer and can sell for as much a $1.5 million per carat. It is mined in Turkey, Madagascar, and right here in the United States of America.
Grandidierite
This gemstone might sell for “just” $100,000 per carat, but if you have some, then you can appreciate that boost in income. It is also a bluish greenstone, and when it was first found, it was originally thought to be the more expensive serendibite.
