On the cover SA Jewellery News (SAJN) is celebrating its 1 000th issue this month! Formerly known as Diamond News and SA Jeweller, SAJN has been bringing readers exciting and current international and local industry-related news for 91 years. “We want to thank our devoted advertisers and readers, without whom we wouldn’t have been able to celebrate this incredible milestone,” says publisher Imraan Mahomed. “It’s not uncommon for us to encounter readers who tell us that they’ve been reading the magazine since the 1970s or 1980s and we look forward to servicing the industry for many years to come.”

48. LITTLE GEMS Little Gems is one of SAJN’s favourite pages in the magazine. Penned by our beloved editorial doyenne, the late Alice Weil, it will still continue to weave its magic with flair and the unyielding love Alice had for jewellery and watches.

The future of retail is happening right before our eyes. COVID-19 has certainly changed consumer behaviour and these rapid changes have important implications for jewellery retailers, believes international virtual retailer Jason Laing.

How COVID-19 has changed retail UNTIL RECENTLY, THE ENTIRE JEWellery industry was still fairly split down the line between bricks and clicks. On the one hand, there were the

brands – family heritage, designer collections and a retail space with all the bells and whistles as the value proposition. On the other hand, there was the digital consumer who was looking at e-commerce brands that offered variety and value, but often with little or no brand stories and far more focus on price points. Online jewellery retail has long been a hot topic for many in the industry. Whether you are selling a pair of silver-plated earrings or a highly valued diamond ring, the belief still remains that purchasing

2020 will always be remembered for the shift in mindset in jewellery retailing which generated consumers needing to fill the void of physical retail experiences. We have only to look at the international fashion industry. In just a few clicks, customers can have all fashion items delivered directly to their doors, as well as a wider range to choose from and customisation options.

these items – regardless of price – should be a touch-and-feel process where customers can admire their beauty before buying them.

There will always be a need for jewellery stores and showrooms, but if this pandemic has taught our industry anything, it is the importance of continued evolution for jewellery e-commerce. 24

The following is an extract from Gems and Jewellery: The South African Handbook

After two years' post-graduate research at Cambridge University, UK, and 10 years as senior lecturer in geochemistry and mineralogy at the University of Stellenbosch, South Africa, Dr Prins, in 1982, started Prins & Prins Diamonds, a leading supplier of diamonds, gemstones and fine jewellery in Cape Town.

ISSUE 12 AN INTRODUCTION TO GEMSTONES II. THE NATURE GEMSTONES We know that since the dawn of civilisation - 4 000 years ago - man adorned himself with beads and necklaces made up of material which he regarded as special. The Egyptians were using minerals such as carnelian, lapis lazuli and turquoise, whose colour and lustre must have attracted them. Items such as shells, bones and hair are still being used in jewellery, but do not qualify as gems.

1. PRECIOUS VERSUS SEMI-PRECIOUS In the past, the term “precious” has been reserved for diamond, ruby, sapphire and emerald, while gems of lesser value, such as tourmaline, garnet, etc, were called “semiprecious”. But can you describe a tsavorite (garnet) or tanzanite (zoisite), which may cost thousands of dollars, as semi-precious? Of course not. When gemstones are of such inferior quality that the only way of enhancing their beauty is by tumbling them, one can use the term “semiprecious”. The beautifully polished “pebbles” that are sold by gem shops qualify as semi-precious. To be called a precious gem, a mineral must have three characteristics, ie, beauty, rarity and durability.

• BEAUTY A thing of beauty must have visual appeal. A beautiful gem is one that has qualities which delight the senses or stimulate the mind. Normally these qualities are colour, symmetry and surface appearance. 1. Colour - this is the most important aspect of a gem’s visual appeal. 2. Symmetry - means balance and harmony of cut. For instance, an elongated (narrow) pear-shape cut is not as appealing as one whose length is 1,5 times its width. 3. The surface appearance - or lustre - of a gem also influences its appeal. Pearls with a high lustre are more sought-after than those with a dull surface.

• RARITY Some gems are rarer than others. Benitoite and red beryl are extremely rare and thus not readily available for jewellery. They are normally considered collectors’ items.

However, rarity alone does not make a gem valuable. There should be general awareness and a reasonable demand for a gem before it will become valuable. As fashion changes, the demand for certain gems has waned. In Victorian times, jet - a black organic gem - was in fashion and quite pricey; today, very few jewellers encounter this gemstone. Demand can also be created by clever advertising. Tanzanite is a good example of a gemstone that was unheard of 20 years ago, but that is in high demand today due to a worldwide awareness campaign.

• DURABILITY Durability is a combination of three factors: 1. Hardness - the ability to resist scratches and abrasion; 2. Toughness - the ability to withstand breaking, chipping and cracking; and 3.

Stability - this indicates how a gem resists the influence of light, heat and chemicals. For instance, cleaning solutions that bring back the sparkle in sapphire may damage peridot, while sunlight may fade the pink colour of kunzite.

Please note: Hardness and toughness are not the same. While a diamond is the hardest gem (no tool can scratch it), it is not the toughest because it may split along a cleavage direction under a hard blow. On the other hand, jade, which is very tough, will not break or crack easily, but is softer than topaz.

2. SPECIES AND VARIETIES In order to simplify the study of minerals and gems, they are grouped into categories. These categories are based

AN INTRODUCTION TO GEMSTONES

on their chemical composition and crystal structure as follows:

for eyeglasses is “brille”, obviously derived from the word “beryl”.

• Mineral classes (based on their chemistry)

•

The Greek word for pearl is “margarites”. The Romans started to use this word as a name for girls, and today names such as Greta, Madge, Maggie, Meg, Peg, Peggy, Margot, Marjorie, Marguerite, Gretchen, Margarete, Margherita and Margaret have one thing in common - they all mean “pearl”.

For example: a. Native elements such as copper metal (Cu). b. Oxides such as corundum (Al2O3). c. Carbonates such as calcite (CaCO3). d. Silicates such as quartz (SiO2) or olivine (Mg2SiO4). • Mineral species (based on their crystal structure) For example: The mineral species corundum and quartz (both trigonal structure) and, garnet (isometric structure) are sub-divided into: • Mineral varieties (based on the different colours which the specie exhibits) For example: a. Specie corundum - if the mineral variety contains trace elements of chromium (Cr), its colour is red and is called ruby. If it contains iron (Fe) and titanium (Ti), it is a blue sapphire. b. Specie quartz - citrine (yellow) and amethyst (purple) are varieties of the specie quartz. Transparency may also determine the name. For instance, a variety of quartz called chalcedony can be opaque and is called jasper, but when it allows some light to pass through it, it is called carnelian. Other optical features, such as asterism, result in a name like star-ruby.

3. DID YOU KNOW? What’s in a name? • Our word “glass” comes from the old Germanic word “glaes”, which was used to describe amber’s glazed, gold like quality. • Middle Age manuscripts which described the medicinal or healing powers of gems were called “lapidaria”, hence the origin of the word “lapidary”. • Opal comes from the Sanskrit word “upala,” meaning “gem” or “precious stone”. • Colourless beryls were used in Europe to make spectacles or reading glasses. The current German word

• The surname Bernstein derives from the old German name for amber, meaning “stone that burns”. Amber is fossilised tree gum that burns with an acrid smell. •

Turquoise means “stone from Turkey” - although turquoise is not found there. Because the ancient turquoise trade from Persia went through Constantinople, Europeans started to call it “the stone from Turkey”. From JCK, September 1981

THE “MAGIC” OF GEMSTONES Most ancient cultures attached either a symbolic, healing and/or religious meaning to gemstones. Today, there are a large number of people and some religions who believe that minerals - especially when they exhibit crystal faces - radiate energy or vibrations that influence the human body. Schools of crystal therapy, astrologers and occult practitioners all believe in the “magic” that gemstones possess. None of these beliefs are based on true scientific principles and the professional jeweller should regard these practices as of interest only. Although the modern symbolic use of gemstones as birthstones and to celebrate wedding anniversaries has its roots in such ancient practices, we no longer attach mystical and healing properties to gemstones.

III. THE PROPERTIES OF GEMSTONES COLOUR - CLARITY - CUT - CARAT WEIGHT 1. COLOUR AND COLOUR PHENOMENA In order to value the colour of a gemstone, we first need to understand what causes it. Colour is created through an interaction between light (from the sun, lamp, etc), an object (the gem) and the optic nerve cells in your retina. White light is a mixture of many colours such as red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet - the colours of the rainbow. Each colour represents light waves of a different energy and wave length. In fact, light waves to which our eyes are sensitive form only a fraction of the total electromagnetic spectrum. (See diagram on the right.)

the presence of certain elements in the crystal structure. For instance, chromium (Cr) causes the intense red in rubies and the brilliant greens in emerald and demantoid garnet, while iron (Fe) causes the more subtle reds, blues, greens and yellows in garnet, spinels, sapphires and peridots.

b) damage and irregularities in the crystal structure. These are called colour centres. Short waves (blue light) are absorbed by mineral

Long waves (red light) not absorbed, mineral appears red

WHAT CAUSES COLOUR? gem

i) Absorption When white light falls on an object, some of the wavelengths (colours) are absorbed while the rest are returned to the viewer. A red ruby absorbs mostly blue, green and yellow light and returns the red component. Our eye thus sees the gem as red. The causes of light absorption are complex, but are generally caused by:

ii) Dispersion When white light travels through a mineral, the different wavelengths travel at different speeds and are refracted at different angles, causing the light to be dispersed (spread out) into a colour spectrum.

A rainbow in the sky or the colour spectrum produced by a glass prism is caused by the bending and splitting of white light into its different components. This phenomenon is called dispersion. When a gemstone has a large dispersion, such as a diamond, it shows flashes of different colours (red, blue and yellow) which is also called the â&#x20AC;&#x153;fireâ&#x20AC;? of the gem. red orange yellow green blue violet

iii) Interference

v) Colour zoning

When light falls on a thin transparent layer of material, it is reflected from the upper and lower surfaces. When some of the wavelengths of these two reflected beams are in step (in phase) when they exit, the colour is enhanced. But when the wavelengths are not synchronised on exit, little or no colour is seen. The rainbow colours often seen on a floating soap bubble are due to this process.

Very often, the body colour of a gem is not distributed evenly. When the concentration of those elements that cause the colour fluctuates in the melt or fluid during the crystal’s growth, different amounts of these elements will be incorporated in the crystal structure and will result in a gem displaying different colour bands.

red wavelengths cancel each other – no red light seen

blue light waves are superposed – blue light is intensified

This effect is called colour zoning and may be useful in identifying the natural origin of the gem. In other cases, it may subtract from the value of a gem.

red light

Interference of wavelengths when reflected from two surfaces of a transparent mineral.

iv) Pleochroism Some gems have a different body colour when viewed from different directions. This is called pleochroism (from the Greek for “having many colours”). Green tourmaline can look very dark green when viewed from the end, but a much lighter green is seen from the side of the crystal. Tanzanite is another gem with strong pleochroism. Its colour ranges from violet-blue to medium purple, depending along which crystallographic direction the gem is seen. As mentioned before, the crystal structure determines colour. Isometric gems, whose atomic structure is uniform in all directions, do not exhibit pleochroism.

Typical colour zoning in natural sapphire on a microscopic scale.

vi) Different light; different colour The colour of an object also depends on the type of light under which it is observed. In general, blue or green gems look their best under fluorescent light found in most offices - because fluorescent light contains more blue and green wavelengths than normal daylight. On the other hand, red and orange gems look better under incandescent light which emanates from candles or your normal electric light bulb.This is important to realise when you display gemstones.

vii) Fluorescence

Iolite cabochon showing strong pleochroism. the eye sees blue the eye sees violet

the eye sees greyish-blue white light enters

When some gems are exposed to ultraviolet (UV) radiation, they show a distinct colour glow that is visible to the naked eye. Sunlight contains UV light and the normal fluorescent tube light emits some UV light. Diamonds normally glow blue or yellowish under a UV light. This phenomenon is often used in gem identification. Very strong blue fluorescence in a diamond can make the stone look “milky” and thus of lesser value. Ultraviolet source (could also be the sun)

Longer, visible wavelengths seen as fluorescence

white light enters

The eye sees different colours when white light passes in different crystallographic directions through a tanzanite crystal.

Ultraviolet light excites an electron into a higher energy level (path). When it drops back to its original energy level, it sheds energy in the form of visible wavelengths that the eye sees as a colour.

HOW TO DESCRIBE THE COLOUR OF GEMSTONES The description of colour in diamonds is dealt with in Chapter 7. For other gemstones, unfortunately, there is no universally accepted system to describe their colour. Although various laboratories have developed their own colour notation, most of them use the terms hue, tone and saturation to describe the multitude of subtle differences in colour as displayed by gemstones. i)

Hue – This term describes the first colour impression noted by the eyes, such as yellowish-green or greenish blue. Although the human eye is capable of identifying 150 different colour hues, a user-friendly notation system using only eight well-known colours (hues) and 16 inbetween colours is presented in the colour wheel on the following page.

Most jewellers should be able to differentiate between these hues and, by using the proposed terminology, describe the colour of any gemstone. The last term indicates the most prominent colour of the gem. For in-between colours, the most prominent colour is modified by terms such as “slight” and “moderate”, which indicates the amount of secondary colour which the gem exhibits in a face-up position. ii)

Those with very high saturation look dark, even black, and are of lesser value. Gems with a colour saturation of between 4 and 6 exhibit more pure and vivid colours and are the most valuable.

Spinel and topaz with low saturation appear brownish.

Greens, blues and violets with low saturation look greyish, while reds, oranges and yellows with low saturation look brownish. Cer tain purple and red gems with low saturation look distinctly pink. The terms “grey”, “brown” and “pink” can also be used to describe the colour of such lowsaturation gems.

Tone - This term describes the degree of darkness or lightness of the colour. Most jewellers should be able to identify and describe the tone of a gemstone by using the following scale: DESCRIBING COLOUR TONE

The low saturation of these blue sapphires imparts a greyish appearance to them.

The colour of a gem could thus be described as, for example: “A light orange-yellow sapphire with a moderate saturation.” colourless

iii)

Saturation - This term describes the intensity (weakness or strength) of the primary colour which the gemstone exhibits, in a face-up position. The amount (strength) of the primary colour that is seen can be described as follows: very light (1) - light (2) - moderate (3) strong (4) - very strong (5) - vivid (6)

Gemstones with higher saturation normally also have a higher tone, as illustrated by these amethysts. The stone second from the right has the highest value.

DESCRIBING SPECIAL COLOUR PHENOMENA

Some gemstones glow and sparkle with subtle hues and effects that are not easy to describe. These are called phenomenal gems and their striking optical features are unique and usually the reason for their value. Opal - unique play of colours Opalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shifting flashes of different colours result from the interference of white light when it passes through an array of even-sized silica spheres.

Colour flashes in opal.

Red flashes are the most desirable, especially if the body colour is black. Less valuable opals can also be white or colourless with different colour flashes. Larger, evenly-spaced and more vivid colour flashes make an opal more valuable.

THE MANY COLOURS OF OPAL Precious opal, which consists of a network of small equalsized silica spheres, displays a range of colours. These colours are caused by interference as white light is scattered through the voids between the spheres. Large spheres normally produce red colours as the gem is tilted, while smaller spheres generate only blue and green colours. In white opal, the spheres are of different sizes and the voids between them are quite irregular. In this case, interference cannot occur and white light is reflected back to the eye the opal thus looks white.

Moonstone - unique whitish glow called adularescence Moonstone belongs to the feldspar group of minerals whose internal structure is very complex and often “twinned” or duplicated Adularescent “sheen” in in thin bands. White light moonstone, set in pendant. interacts with these bands to produce a soft glow that seems to play above the surface of the gem. Those that display blue adularescence are prized more than those with a white, grey or brown glow. A special type of feldspar, called labradorite, shows a phenomenon called “labradorescence” where a blue flash is normally seen at a certain angle. Alexandrite - colour change under different light Good-quality alexandrite looks purplish-red under standard lamp or candlelight, but when viewed under fluorescent or sunlight, its colour changes to green or bluish-green. Other gems such as sapphire and garnet can also display this phenomenon, but are not valued as much as an alexandrite with saturated colours Colour change in alexandrite. that change dramatically. Chrysoberyl - chatoyancy or cat’s-eye effect Cabochon-cut gemstones that contain vast numbers of extremely thin parallel, needle-like inclusions often show a reflective band that glides across their surface as you move your head. The way in which these parallel inclusions reflect light causes this effect, also known as chatoyancy. Chrysoberyl is the best-known gemstone showing this phenomenon. Others such as tourmaline and tiger’s eye also produce a similar effect.

iridescence. When a similar subtle play of rainbow colours can be seen on pearls, it is called “orient”.

Synthetic goldstone bead.

Goldstone and sunstone - an effect called aventurescence Certain feldspar and quartz varieties contain small, shiny flat inclusions that reflect light from within the stone. These gems are called sunstone and aventurine quartz.

Goldstone glass, a man-made material used in lower-end fashion jewellery, has a similar glittering look due to the reflection of light from minute copper platelets in the glass.

Orange topaz is called “sherry topaz” when its colour looks like sherry. The name “Imperial topaz” is reserved for a specific pinkishorange topaz that comes from Minas Gerais in Brazil. Deceptive names Unfortunately, wrong or deceptive names are still used by some jewellers. Using the following terms is not only unethical, but could result in major problems, especially if used on valuation certificates. • “Black diamond” for hematite • “Water sapphire” for iolite • “Herkimer diamond” for rock crystal (quartz) • “Korean jade” for serpentine • “Cape ruby” for pyrope garnet • “Balas ruby” for red spinel • “Evening emerald” for peridot

Reflections of light from such an array of needles result in a four- or six-arm star called asterism. Ruby, Six-sided star in blue sapphire, quartz and tourmaline cabochon sapphire. can display such star reflections if polished in a cabochon shape.
