Gemstones and their unique worth for appraisal

Whether it is gemstones, resources, or wonders of the world, Earth has always found its way back to the most surprising treasures. In today’s infographic, we will walk you through 10 different kind of gemstones and their unique worth. In case you are stuck with your jewelry and need an appraisal for it, then this is the perfect place for you to grab a pen and note down the pointers. As its name implies, an appraisal is something people do for their own benefit. For instance, if they wish to sell, insure or replace their jewelry, they will first look for an appraiser who will educate them about the cost, worth, and purpose of that piece of jewelry. If the appraiser seems to be satisfied with the purpose stated for the appraisal of the jewelry, the customer is granted the appraisal right away; otherwise, legal action could be taken against them.

Everybody knows what a diamond looks like, but what most people doesn't know is that most diamonds are very small and of a quality that isn't good enough for jewelry. But luckily there are exceptions. Sometimes miners find diamonds that are much bigger than normal. So big and of such quality that they outshine almost all the diamonds that have ever been found.

Here in this infographic you can see the 10 biggest diamonds ever found (based on size after the diamonds were cut). As you can see, the biggest of the diamonds are the size of eggs and thereby several hundred times bigger than normal diamonds.

The biggest cut diamond in the world is the Golden Jubilee which is an impressive 545,67 carats - or more than 500 times bigger than the 1 carat diamonds you see in everyday rings and necklaces. Most people think that the Cullinan I is the biggest cut diamond in the world, but as you can see it's only the 2nd biggest cut diamond. The Golden Jubilee is just 15 carats bigger.
