Susan RumfittHistorically many gemstones have been subjected to a variety of treatments to enhance their appearance Certain enhancements, such as heating, are commonly used to improve colour or transparency in rubies and sapphires. Emeralds are also frequently treated, usually with oils or resin, for the same purpose. Other methods, including staining, dyeing, coating or irradiation, may have been used on other gemstones including Jade and associated hardstone that may have been bleached (usually in acid), polymer/resin filled or dyed, or a combination of any of these treatments
The international jewellery trade has generally accepted these methods
Heat enhancement of colour is usually permanent, however, in some cases; this may have an impact on the durability of the gemstone Gemstones that have been oiled may require re-oiling after a number of years in order to retain their optimum appearance
It is, in suitable cases, Dore & Rees’s policy to obtain gemmological reports from internationally recognised gemmological laboratories describing certain gemstones sold by Dore & Rees. In the event that Dore & Rees have been given, or have obtained, reports for any lot in the sale these reports will be mentioned in the catalogue description. However, it is not feasible for Dore & Rees to obtain a gemmological report for each gemstone offered for sale by Dore & Rees. If no report is published in the catalogue prospective buyers should assume that the gemstones may have been enhanced by some method However, please note that there may not be consensus between different laboratories on the degrees or types of treatment for any particular gemstone Prospective buyers should be aware that Dore & Rees’s pre-sale estimates assume that gemstones may have been subjected to such treatments

Note: A garnet and gold bracelet by T & J Bragg & Co showing the same enamel decoration is on display at the Victorian & Albert Museum in London A collection of jewellery by T & J Bragg was purchased by the authorities at the South Kensington Museum around 1871. The purpose of the purchase was to distinguish between imitation and inexpensive jewellery at the time, as 9 carat gold had become acceptable in jewellery design but many still associated the use of 9 carat gold with inferior jewellery produced in Birmingham which had been given the name ‘Brumagem’
For T & J Bragg of Birmingham this was a turning point They were ranked with London maker’s by ‘The Art Journal’, who said ‘their contribution should forever stamp out the notion that Birmingham produces only cheap and bad jewellery’
T & J Bragg were noted as exhibitors at the International Exhibition of 1862, and the International Health Exhibition of 1884 By 1916 the firm was absorbed into Fattorini & Sons of Bradford, Birmingham and London
