Gemstone jewelry is jewelry that offers an extraordinary look for any and every occasion. Available in a wide spectrum of colors and shades, you can find so many pieces that you would enjoy wearing, whether for formal or informal affairs. Shopping for these gorgeous pieces is always a thrilling experience because the choices are so many. You will have trouble finding a piece to suit the occasion, your style and your pocketbook.
Gemstone jewelry is colorful and extremely versatile. Gemstones are less expensive than diamonds but just as beautiful. Rubies, sapphires and emeralds are highly respected as precious and semiprecious stones. They are rich in color and are available in a wide variety of settings. There is no doubt that one can be found that you can cherish a lifetime.
Deep blue sapphire is a popular choice for rings, although it can be found in lighter shades as well. It is the birthstone for September and after diamonds, sapphire is the hardest gemstone of all.
Ruby rings, the July birthstone, are known for their brilliant red color and have long been associated with love, passion, and power. This precious gemstone has been worn for centuries by emperors and kings all over the world and is greatly prized because of its sheer beauty and rarity. Rubies are often given as tokens of love and, much like sapphires, also score high on the Mohs scale that's used to measure mineral hardness.
Emerald rings in a gorgeous, deep green color are some of the most costly of all the colored gemstones, however, emeralds created in a lab rather than by nature can be considerably less expensive if price is a concern. For natural emeralds, the deeper and greener the stone the higher its value will be.
In regards to the ever important matter of the stone's actual cut, gemstone jewelry can be found in a wide variety of differing cuts, each used to accentuate the stone's natural brilliance in some way. Brilliant-cut is one of the most popular for larger stones and allows the maximum amount of light to pass through and be reflected back out. Brilliant cuts can be used for round, oval, marquise, even pear shaped stones. Other popular cuts for gemstone jewelry include princess, heart, emerald, radiant, and trillion.
When you are shopping for a gemstone ring, you will find gems set as a solitary stone and those clustered with other stones, either the same stone or a variety of complimentary stones. Be sure and choose a gemstone and a ring that you will enjoy throughout your life.
Take your time to find just the right piece of gemstone jewelry. Be sure and learn the best methods of caring for your new jewelry. Gem stones are durable and don't need a whole lot of attention, but cleaning them regularly will allow them to show off their spectacular beauty every time you wear them.
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.
