Emeralds are spectacular gemstones and among the most expensive of all. But, gemstone jewelry made with emeralds can take your breath away. Typically, an emeralds value can be determined by the depth and richness of the color; that is to say the deeper the green, the higher the value. If you love emeralds but are on a budget, you can find man made stones that look quite real but are less expensive.

When buying gemstone jewelry you will want to consider the cut of the stone. There are a wide variety of cuts and most often the cut is chosen to show off the brilliance of the particular stone. The “brilliant-cut” is most often chosen for large stones as it is the cut that will encourage the light to pass through the stone and reflect its color and brilliance. It used with marquis shaped stones as well as round, oval and pear shaped stones. Other popular choices in cuts are the princess cut, heart shaped cut, emerald shaped cut, radiant shaped cut and trillion shaped cut.

 

Some gemstone rings may feature a single, solitary stone with either a plain band or one that's encrusted with other stones, while many others have groups of stones that can be identical or completely different.

 

It is important to take the time you need to decide what gemstone jewelry is right for you. Learn how to take care of these precious natural stones. They are durable and need little care, but proper cleaning will show off their brilliance for years to come

And finally, remember to never clean your gemstone rings, or any other type of jewelry for that matter, over or near a sink, use a bowl instead to be extra sure you won't ever lose your most favorite piece down the drain .

Most people when they imagine a pearl are picturing perfect large round spherical gems, creamy white in colour with a shimmery iridescent surface. The reality is that pearls are usually irregular in shape, each one is different and to find one that is completely round is almost unheard of, not to mention trying to make a whole necklace of pearls that are all more or less the same. Natural pearls are the rarest and most highly valued variety, but nowadays most pearl jewellery is made from cultured or farmed pearls, which are grown on pearl farms… Continue reading What are the Main Differences Between Freshwater and Saltwater Pearls?...
