Buying stones and jewelry online requires trust. At Gem Dragon Auctions, we include short video clips in most of our auction listings to help you see exactly what you’re bidding on—beyond what still images can provide

Whether it’s a finished piece of jewelry, a precision-cut gemstone, a one-of-a-kind cabochon, or a special piece of faceting rough, video helps reveal the true qualities of the item

Faceting rough especially benefits from video, as orientation, clarity, and internal features are far easier to assess in motion. This helps cutters make informed decisions with fewer surprises

For cabbing rough, the added motion shows potential shape, translucency, and color zoning

For mineral specimens, video helps capture surface texture, crystal form, and dimensionality far better than photos alone

We include these videos because transparency matters. We want every buyer—whether you’re new to the trade or a seasoned professional—to feel confident. It’s part of our commitment to clarity, honesty, and quality in every category we sell

Happy Bidding!
