The Collector’s Selection

The Otzera 50

How we read a stone

Colored gemstones have no universal grading system — the variables are too complex for one scale. The Otzera 50 is our answer: fifty points, weighted toward beauty and always judged relative to the species.

  • Color
  • Cut & Optical Performance
  • Clarity & Transparency
  • Rarity & Collectibility
1–10 Common
11–20 Standard
21–27 Discovery
28–34 Collectible
35–40 Distinguished
41–45 Signature
46–50 Exceptional

Color and cut together account for close to two-thirds of the score, because beauty is why gemstones matter. Origin, treatment and documentation are disclosed in full and can add collector significance — but they never outweigh the stone itself. A high score does not mean a high price, and a modest stone can rate strongly within its own kind.

A name behind every stone

Otzera is led by Eitan Tashey, a GIA Graduate Gemologist whose work across gemological laboratories, international auction houses and gemstone teaching shapes every selection. He was in residence at GIA in New York in 2006 and has worked in the gem trade since.

The person who chooses each stone is the same person who evaluates it, describes it and stands behind it.
