Eileen Kinsella writes about the state of mind of the collectors and their ability (or inability) to look at a work, appreciate it, and evaluate it in and of itself + other viewspoints @ http://artnews.com/issues/article.asp?art_id=2268
Again there are similarities between pricing of gemstones and art. Both are subjective concepts. A piece of art or gem always have nice stories with them + they are have their special beauty. You need a third eye to see through, appreciate and evaluate. You also need expertise, meaning you need to understand how gems or art are bought and sold. If you don't have the product knowledge or don't want to take the time to learn, then you need an expert that you trust to make the judgment for you. I think most of today's buyers are collectors with a passion for gems or art and want to know everything they can about them. Some may even become too addicted; they would never part with these stones or art at any price.
