Smoky quartz is typically graded on a scale from poor to excellent based on the intensity of its colour, the presence of inclusions or blemishes, and the quality of its cut. Smoky quartz with a more intense, uniform colour and fewer inclusions or blemishes is generally more valuable.
Smoky quartz can be found in a variety of cuts and shapes, including round, oval, cushion, pear, and emerald. It is often used as an accent stone in jewellery, such as in halo engagement rings or as side stones in earrings or pendants. Smoky quartz can also be used as the main stone in a piece of jewellery, particularly when paired with diamonds or other coloured gemstones.
