Treatments Disclosure

Optimal Beauty

Sometimes needs a little help,

Sometimes needs a lot of help,

Sometimes in rare instances, no help is needed.

In the morning, a person may shave, style their hair or apply lotion. Their afternoon may consist of going to the gym to promote their muscle tone, and prepare for a night of glamour with the aid of makeup. We often give ourselves little treatments throughout the day to improve our appearance, to make ourselves better than we originally were. Gemstones frequently have a similar experience, undergoing aid from human hands to present their best possible selves.

Perfect gemstones with optimal color and durability are extremely rare in nature. Treatments are used by stone cutters to improve the appearance, durability and value of a gemstone.

When a gemstone is altered by human hands in a way that is neither cutting, faceting nor polishing, it’s been treated. The end result may be permanent or require special care and handling to look its best.

Among the many common treatments is cedar oil to fill inclusions on an emerald’s surface. This practice, known as fracture filling, enhances an emerald’s apparent clarity while improving its durability. Nearly all tanzanites are heated between 370 to 390 degrees Celsius in order to remove brown spots from the rough, while sapphires and rubies are heated to intensify their respective hues. Without these treatments, gemstone quality crystals would be much rarer and difficult to obtain.

More sophisticated treatments include a more dramatic way of improving a sapphire, lattice diffusion. This process combines chemicals and high temperatures to deepen color and produce surface deep asterism. Colorless impregnation strengthens porous jewels like coral or turquoise by filling their gaps with wax, resin or other materials. Irradiation is used on gemstones from diamonds to topaz, employing electromagnetic radiation or subatomic particles to alter a jewel’s crystal structure and by extension its color. Gemstones treated in this way are tested to meet strict safety guidelines before they’re released to the market.

According to the United States Federal Trade Commission (FTC,) “It is unfair or deceptive to fail to disclose that a gemstone has been treated if:

(a) The treatment is not permanent. The seller should disclose that the gemstone has been treated and that the treatment is or may not be permanent.

(b) The treatment creates special care requirements for the gemstone. The seller should disclose that the gemstone has been treated and has special care requirements. It is also recommended that the seller disclose the special care requirements to the purchaser.

(c) The treatment has a significant effect on the stone’s value. The seller should disclose that the gemstone has been treated.”

It is important to use the word “treatment” in terms of gemstone modification. Other terms such as enhancement are not considered as precise to the FTC, and may confuse customers. Disclosure must occur prior to sale

At Valentin Magro New York, we strive to give our customers all the information about a particular gemstone. Part of our efforts involves full disclosure of any and all types of treatments, and going above and beyond the FTC guidelines to help our clients best understand their new jewelry. We also explain the reason for that treatment and if the gemstone requires special care.   Furthermore, all of our important gemstones are graded by industry leading independent laboratories. With grading, we verify the quality and authenticity of a stone as well as any and what treatments that specific gemstone may have undergone. We want full disclosure and transparency to be worthy of our client’s trust.
