Gemstone jewelry has always been a favorite accessory of women.
Diamonds have always been women's best friend, but gemstones are
becoming popular because of their radiance, which radiates to the
women wearing them. The appeal of gemstones
is that they make the women wearing them feel as beautiful as they are.
Gemstone jewelry come in so
many variety that sometimes the task of choosing the gemstone is more
daunting than the actual task of buying the jewelry. Whether you
would be buying gemstone
jewelry for yourself or for somebody else, you have to take the
time to have a basic knowledge of gemstones and be able to evaluate
gems and metals to be able to make a wise purchase or wise
investment. You also have to learn to recognize a real gemstone from
a synthetic or an imitation. There are gemstones that are very rare,
and these rare gemstones are more valuable and an asset than other
stones. The appearance of a gemstone is its primary attribute, which
determines the price it would sell in the market.
Kinds of Gemstones
There are many kinds of gemstones, the five most popular are the
diamonds, pearls, emerald, ruby, and sapphire. Before going out and
purchasing gemstone jewelry, you must be able to determine if one is
fake or real. Know the difference between a glass or a diamond, and
faux pearls from real ones. Know what color is a ruby,
an emerald
or a sapphire.
Diamonds are
valued according to their color, clarity, cutting, and carat. If a
diamond is more colorless, with lesser or no marks, is beautifully
cut, and is larger in size, chances are, it is of best quality and
probably would be very expensive.
Pearls, on the other
hand, are so varied that seemingly no two are ever the same. Pearls
could either be natural or cultured but always be alert that you do
not purchase an imitation pearl.
You would always know an emerald from a ruby as an emerald has a
green velvety glassy color and texture while a ruby has always been
famous as the red gemstone. Emeralds
are fragile as they can break easily and is in need of most care than
other gemstones.
Sapphires vary in color to yellow, blue,
green, orange, pink,
and purple.
Choosing Your Gemstone
There are still a lot of other kinds of gemstones. Prices could range
from very expensive ones to prices which you can generally afford
without putting too much dent on your wallet or your credit card.
Choose, therefore, gemstone rings
according to the size of your wallet or your bank account. Whatever
you intend to choose and purchase, the important thing to remember is
that the gemstone
must be lasting and enduring.
Caring for the Gemstone of Your Choice
If the gemstone needs special care, accordingly, the same care should
be given. Exposure to chemicals or sunlight could harm these stones
and reduce the value which you highly paid for. Gemstones
would always make you feel as beautiful as they are like sapphires in
beautiful sapphire
rings, vibrant rubies in ruby
rings, genuine emeralds in fine emerald
rings and that is what you would be paying for.
