Gemval February 2026 value charts list per-carat prices by birthstone

Gemval’s February 2026 market-value page, titled "Value charts: average retail prices, Feb 2026," presents per-carat retail price tables and distribution charts for dozens of gemstones and breaks prices into carat brackets, while noting full access to the charts requires an account upgrade. The site lists major birthstones by name - diamond, ruby, sapphire, emerald, tanzanite, topaz, alexandrite - and groups dozens of others into Basic, Regular and Premium sets.

The page text states plainly: "For each gemstone, we provide a detailed and comprehensive value chart, which will help you evaluate its price, based on the following criteria:" and then lists the four explicit criteria: color, carat weight, clarity, cut. The site also repeats that "Our value charts are based on accurate and up-to-date information on average retail prices. With them, you'll be able to estimate the worth of each gemstone you own." The available excerpts confirm the charts include per-carat retail price tables and distribution charts and that the charts "break prices into carat brackets."

Gemstones are presented on the page in three named collections. The Basic set lists Amblygonite, Andesine, Axinite, Benitoite, Enstatite, Idocrase, Kornerupine, Kyanite, Petalite, Pezzotaite, Phenakite, Scapolite, Sillimanite, Sinhalite and Sphalerite. The page shows "### Regular set [...] ### Regular set" before listing Ametrine, Andalusite, Apatite, Citrine, Danburite, Diaspore, Diopside, Fluorite, Garnet Color Change, Garnet Malaia, Garnet Mali, Hessonite Garnet, Hiddenite, Iolite, Kunzite, Rhodolite Garnet, Sphene, Taaffeite and Zircon. The Premium set includes Alexandrite, Amethyst, Aquamarine, Beryl, Chrysoberyl, Demantoid Garnet, Diamond, Emerald, Fancy Diamond, Fire Opal, Opal (Australia), Opal (Ethiopia), Peridot, Quartz, Ruby, Sapphire, Spessartite Garnet, Spinel, Sunstone, Tanzanite, Topaz, Tourmaline, Tourmaline Bi-Color, Tourmaline Paraiba, Tourmaline Rubellite and Tsavorite Garnet.

User interaction cues captured on the site include "Select gemstone type below to begin," a top-of-site prompt reading "[Gemval]: Not registered? Register!" and a clear access restriction: "You need to upgrade your account to have full access to all gemstones." The page navigation shows the breadcrumbs "1. Home 2. Market value charts" with the header "Value charts: average retail prices, Feb 2026."

Key limitations in the captured excerpts are also explicit. No numeric per-carat dollar figures or specific price ranges were included in the supplied text, and no sample distribution charts or images were provided. Methodology beyond the four listed criteria is missing: there are no data sources, no geographic scope, no currency specification and no carat bracket definitions in the excerpts. An earlier summary contains a truncated phrase "quality tie" while the market-value page lists color, carat weight, clarity and cut as its quality dimensions.

Gemval’s Feb 2026 pages outline a broad, organized resource for birthstone valuations, but the captured content makes clear that the per-carat numbers and methodological detail necessary for appraisal are behind an upgrade and were not included in the excerpts. The charts promise utility for buyers and sellers alike; their practical value will depend on whether Gemval provides the numeric tables, carat-bracket definitions and methodology to upgraded users.
