宝石设计要素（Gems design elements） Gems design elements Apart from some common features, different kinds of gems have their own particularity, that is, their performance in the United States is different. As a colorless transparent gemstones to perfect as the characteristic; colored gemstone is colourful ravishing; Star Sapphire and opal with fascinating optical strange phenomena. All the external beauty of the performance of different requirements on the gem design: 1. weight The weight of gemstones is a very important parameter for most precious stones, especially high-grade gemstones. In general, gems should be designed to minimize the amount removed, or to preserve as large a volume (or weight) as possible. Preserved here said the largest possible weight has two meanings: refers to the gem products as large as possible; the total weight of a gem stone polished after the finished stone should be as large as possible, namely yield as high as possible. The weight of the two meanings is very important, and the former is especially important for high-grade precious stones. Of course, these two meanings, weight and sometimes can not have both, which way is the main? This depends on the situation and is usually based on the high value of the product of the finished gemstone, which is the commodity value under the premise that the aesthetic value of the gem remains unchanged. As a result, it requires total product weight and single gem gem rate to achieve the best value, if the blind pursuit of a single diamond weight as large as possible, it will reduce the total yield, on the contrary, if we only consider the rate of finished products, may make the solitaires weight smaller, can also reduce the total commodity value of gem. Therefore, in the design according to the current characteristics of GEM market price and gem stone, calculate the minimum single gem the best range of weight and total yield, so that the design is reasonable. However, this calculation is often rough, an
