Can I Trade £20 to a Black Opal by Flipping Gemstones?
Can I trade my way up from an initial £20 investment to a Black Opal by flipping gemstones?
As a Gemologist, it should come as no surprise that I like gemstones but one gem that I don't own is a Black Opal and I thought it was about time that I bought myself one!
And rather than just buying one, I wondered if I could trade my way to one by buying and selling gemstones?
00:00 Intro
00:10 Why I'm Doing This?
02:44 Trading Gemstones
07:04 Buying an Opal
09:41 What's Next?
This is partially inspired by watching some of the amazing Opals that Justin from @blackopaldirect has cut on his channel and also that Black Opals are my favourite gemstone. If you want to check out Black Opal Direct, then I will leave a link to the channel below:

Identifying Gemstones - Why Most Jewelers Can't!
มุมมอง 3.1K4 ปีที่แล้ว
In this short video, I explain why most jewelers can't confidently identify gemstones as a response to another TH-camr's video. Coloured gemstones such as Ruby, Sapphire, Amethyst, Aquamarine and Blue Topaz often cause jewelers problems as they don't know how to tell if the stone is real, man-made or a simulant. I know this to be true as I have not only been in the position where I couldn't but...

Thoughts on AIGS diploma in thailand?
I haven't done it personally but I know some gemmologists who have taken courses there and said it was good, it just doesn't have the same recognition as the courses from the GIA and Gem-A.
@HaywoodsGems Thankyou for getting back to me. This was the conclusion I came to from my research too. Do you think it would limit career possibilities due to this fact that it is not as greatly recognised?
Hiii
What do you need to know for the exams? Must memorising all gems and their properties ect?
It depends on what course you are taking and the level but it is a mix of theory and practical knowledge. When you are taking the course, they will give you an idea of what you need to know.
THIS IS WRONG INFORMATION the most expensive sapphire in the world is around 800 million
;bro i. Love. Diamondss👑💎💵💸🥇🥇🤑👑👑👑💵💎
yooo Les. gooo bro
I think I found black diamonds. What do I do with them?
Find someone to check to see if they are Diamonds.
Very handy guide. That's a lot of information, but it was presented in an easy to understand manner. I would be interested in seeing what different variations look like as well as to what degree deviation on each of the 4 C's are worth as a guide.
Thank you, I have covered this in my pricing guide www.haywoodsgems.com/diamond-pricing/ but it is a little difficult to break down due to the many factors that contribute to Diamond value.
2:40 - You lost me here. You said the gap is widening between synthetic diamonds and lab-created diamonds. Are those the same thing? (the many names you mentioned earlier)
I meant to say synthetic vs natural diamonds, missed this in the edit.
Wow
In a good or bad way?
i have no idea is diamond of carret

very helpful!! thanks
No problem and glad it was helpful.
how much is the price of diamond per carats
From less than $100/ct to over $1 million/ct
bro. $1 million 💎💎💎💎💎👑👑🥇🥇
Just came across your video great channel ❤❤❤
Thank you
As an opal cutter from here in the UK this was a joy to watch. Surprised I hadn't come across this video before! I can assure you, your initial assumption is correct. That is a true black crystal opal, and for that price you got yourself an absolute bargain! Congratulations mate, has it joined the personal collection?
Thank you and glad you enjoyed it and thanks for clarifying, I was sure and have had it checked since posting this to confirm and yes, it has gone into my collection. Just took a look at your channel and something I want to get into is cutting/faceting, just need to save up for a decent machine.
I am considering a second career after retirement and interested in working in a gem lab, maybe 10-15 years from now. Do you think this is work that would survive the next 20 years, are there aspects that you think may become automated?
Very difficult to say (as with many careers at the moment), I still think there will be a strong human element as many parts have subtleties such as identifying inclusions to see whether the stone is natural or synthetic and potential origin will be very difficult to automate.
Its a dark blue opal, not crystal. The price you paid is fine, especially as an international buyer who doesn't have access to field prices, crystal is when you can see through the stone when you hold up to the light , it looks yellow or orange when its crystal in saturated light.
You can see through the stone when you hold it up to the light and doesn't have grey or black potch on the back.
Hi, can I ask if Gemology is typically reliable in terms of money and jobs? I am a junior in highschool and personally my dream is to be a Gemologist, but I know I need to apply soon if I need to choose something else. I have a lot of health problems and I’m mostly worried about the reliability of being able to take care of myself and my disabled sister. I have looked for jobs nearby, but the nearest are almost 4 hours away. I am just very concerned that it might not be a good option for me. Can you offer any advice on perhaps finding Gemology jobs and whether it offers financial stability?
Hi, I've done a video covering this (th-cam.com/video/BfIVOFlQe00/w-d-xo.html) as a follow-up to this one and there are very few gemologist jobs, it is more that there are careers where gemology is a useful skill to have but if financial stability is your primary concern, I think there are better career options out there such as medical, mental health or legal.
Hi mate. Just wondering how you found the gem parcels on ebay, what you searched for etc. Trying to find what you bought. Can only find new lots that dont have anywhere near the variety. Cheers.
Hi, Ebay is really hit and miss for gem lots and decent ones go for stupid money, a lot of the ones I bought were direct from people in the industry, mainly scrap dealers who I've got to know through being in the trade for a few years.
@@HaywoodsGems Luckily I havent gambled on anything regarding other gems, I'm an opal cutter specifically, but only recently started so looking for ways to accumulate cash for the opal business. Your video was quite interesting I'll check out your others s well. Cheers for the reply!
Sir good day, I have a natural diamond, green and other, this items is sell, and I need a buyer
Hi, I would send it to auction.
Gotta love the blunt honesty… he said “if this was a diamond I wouldn’t be making TH-cam videos “ 😂😂
Pero po ako diamond boss magkano po kaya
I live near an emerald belt. This information is very handy
Glad it was helpful.
NO carat size to report?!?!??!?? What is the damn point in just listing prices from least to most when you can’t tell how valuable they are per carat when you don’t indicate carat size!!!!! Dumb 😮
Stone settah I see hmm and stone cuttah hmm what about a job at like a museum settah?
Thank you sir.
Hi there , can I ask where you are purchasing the gemstone parcels?
Hi, it varies and I hope you understand but I don't really want to share my sources.
For me the beautiful one is jubilee ruby. The color just amazing and adorable.

Hello sir how much the tuetion fee thinks hope you noticed me
It depends who you train with and where they are based
Can you tell me if there is age restriction in being a gemstone evaluator or studying the scientific roots of the stones?
It depends on where you are in the world and the institute you want to study with as they all have their own requirements
I am very interested in the all kind of stones. I want to get Gemology courses. Thanks for an interesting lessons.😎😎😎🤗
No problem and hope it was helpful.

Good day Sir, I'm getting an opportunity to work on board a cruise as a jewellery associate. My question is what are the qualities I need to possess to become one.? As an aside, is gemology a prerequisite to pursue the above trade.
Hi, honestly, the most important skills are interpersonal and being able to sell and believe it or not, most people who work on the retail side have very little jewellery/gem knowledge before starting and learn on the job (depending on how good the employer’s training is). Gemology isn’t required but can be very helpful and when combined with the ability to sell is a very useful skill set.
Basically its only a small rock , who want to buy a small rock for millions dollars?
Thank you Paul. Very well explained
No problem and hope it was helpful.
