SHAPE of color gemstones

Whether the color gem is pear shape, round, oval or trillion, this will not have a greater impact on price than color, clarity or transparency would. The value of a gem's shape will be more a matter of demand. If round is the trendy shape of the season and higher in demand then a high quality round shape color gem will cost more than an thee high quality marquis shape.
