Factors that affect the Price & Quality of Hessonite Rings
The price and quality of a Hessonite (Gomed) ring factors such as gomed ring designs, origin, color tone, clarity, treatments, carat size, and quality of craft. A naturally occurring, untreated Hessonite, with a brilliant cut and high brilliance with a deep honey orange color will always command a higher retail price.
Note: Naturally occurring stones with the same qualities are rarer and could command pricier rates than commercial grade Gomed.
Origin
The most sought-after and top quality gomedhikam stones are generally mined from Sri Lanka (Ceylon Gomed). They are sought after and show glowing golden-orange hues and clarity. Many fabulous stones are found in India and Africa, as well, with lower prices and are reasonable for daily-wear rings.
Colour
Exceptional Hessonite's exhibit a saturated cinnamon-orange to honey-brown shade with even saturation, Where gomed stone rings are overly dark or light in color, they tend to be less favorable. A well-known characteristic of highly desirable Gomed rings is their warm, glowing hues that change as they reflect light.
Treatment
Most natural gomedhikam stones are untreated or minimally enhanced without decreasing its natural luster. Always ask for certification related to authenticity and treatment status. Do not purchase artificially colored or glass-filled stones, as they can diminish in shine, durability, and natural qualities over time.
Clarity
Hessonite will naturally have visible inclusions in some cases described as a "treacle effect." Eye-clean or semi-transparent Hessonite will be vibrant but rarer than cloudy stones, since overly cloudy stones are not as favorable. A good quality Gomed should have slight inclusions that add to its vibrance and visual appeal.
Carat Weight
The value of a gomed stone ring increases substantially with weight, especially for stones weighing above 5 carats, especially used for astrological purposes. That being said, carat is not everything, and, in many cases, a smaller stone with excellent cut and polish can look equally beautiful.
Cut
A well-cut Hessonite ring for men allows one to see the projection and astounding light reflection that contributes to its fiery glow. The most common are oval cuts or cushion cuts, which provide an attractive amount of depth and symmetry that creates a sparkle, even in the dimmest light.
