With regard to the five principal gemstones, certain colours indicate those of finest quality. Blue-white is the top colour for a diamond. But it must be explained that this is really a contradiction in terms, for the blue-white should be completely colourless. It is, in fact, a trade description and accepted as such.
The most rare tand valuable colour for a ruby is 'pigeon's blood' red. Where sapphires are concerned, the pale cornflower blue is considered to be the finest and not the dark-blue variety. A definite grass-green makes for a prize emerald and their scarcity adds to the worth of this variety. The choicest pearl is the rose; it shows a pinky hue, which seems to emphasise the lustrous quality.
It is obvious that people who find a particular delight in the colours of nature should respond in equal measure to gemstones. However, unlike flowers, they never fade, but do have in common a depth and richness of colour.
There is a timeless quality about jewels that gives a feeling of mystery. Like trees they have taken centuries to evolve and have lain in the earth for so long, that when they are found, they appear to emerge like buried treasure.
