Blue Diamond Earrings

There are so many lovely diamond earrings that it is often difficult to choose the perfect pair. However, if you are looking for a diamond that is unique, the perfect stone would be a breathtaking blue diamond. Only red is more rare, yet still not as lovely as a cool blue diamond. Of the world’s most famous diamonds, the three that top the list are all blue.

The famous Hope Diamond, the Heart of Eternity Diamond and the Blue Heart Diamond top the list of the world’s most famous and priceless diamonds and it is not merely because of their size. While the Hope Diamond is an amazing 45.52 carats, it is not the size that makes it so unique, or even the exquisite cut, yet it is the sheer beauty of that crystal blue diamond that sets it apart from other stones.

Diamonds are steeped in lore from as far back as Biblical times and they have always been synonymous with priceless gifts. They stand for eternity, and are thought to have the ability to withstand unseen forces. A diamond is the hardest stone on earth and as such, was once believed to cut through anything that stood in one’s path. Perhaps these are the reasons why diamonds have traditionally been used as a sign of undying love when offered as an engagement ring.

As it should be expected, a gem this rare will be more costly than other stones. While diamonds generally are known to be …

Blue Chalcedony Earrings

Blue chalcedony is a popular gemstone with today’s jewelry designers. Chalcedony is a type of quartz known as microcrystalline, which means the crystals are undetectable unless looked at under a strong magnifier. It is common for chalcedony to be sold only as a one color stone, while other gems that fall into this category are given other names like agate and jasper. There are many different types of jewelry that this type of crystal can be made into, including blue chalcedony earrings. These earrings are ideal for anyone because the stunning shade of blue goes with anything.

The color of blue chalcedony ranges from light to medium. Some stones are more translucent than others. Sometimes this type of crystal has a pink or gray tint. Occasionally a chalcedony stone will have adularescence, which is a clouding commonly seen with moonstone. It is caused by the interference of light due to miniscule inclusions. This cloudiness does not mar the beauty of the stone, in fact it enhances it as it seems to float from within. Another thing you should know about the blue chalcedony stone is that it is often named based on where it hails from. The color can also be affected by the place of origin.

For example, Nevada and California offer Mt. Airy and Mohave Blue stones. These have a moderate gray tint and range from light to medium blue. The African country of Namibia also produces this stone, which is known as African Blue. This type …

Natural Gemstones

Shopping for natural gemstones can sometimes be very tricky, as often, prices can seem to vary vastly on products that look nearly identical. For this reason, many people are often ripped off when buying Natural Gemstones. If you want to find out what’s good and what’s not, and also where to safely purchase natural gemstones from, you’ve come to the right place.

Advertisers can often fluff out the terminology for natural gemstones. At the end of the day they come straight from the ground, and although they will have been cut and polished, they will not have been altered in any others ways. Advertisers may try and use words such as natural, genuine, synthetic, simulated, treated amongst others to try and make out that their gemstones are superior to the rest, alongside them trying to justify the high price they are charging. Not to say everyone who advertises natural gemstones is trying to trick you, just a word of warning to look out for.

If you are looking to buy natural gemstones, always check whether it has been enhanced or not. Once a gem has been enhanced, a company can no longer label is as natural. To sum it up quickly, a perfect natural gemstone with no imperfections straight from the ground would be worth millions, as they are extraordinarily rare. Companies will enhance their gemstones to the same standards as the non-enhanced stones, but simply because they are not naturally perfect, they are worth nothing compared to what the …

Andradite

Spessartine

Spessartine is a very deep orange member of the garnet family. This particular garnet is mined all over the world, namely in Brazil, Africa, and in some parts of California. Mined spessartine is usually of very good jewelry quality, however the rarity of spessartine commands prices of upwards of $250 per carat for smaller size gemstones.

Pyrope

Pyrope is the classic “ruby red” garnet that most everyone knows. These are the most reasonably priced of all the garnets, however the price varies greatly with the deepness of the coloring. Deeper reds are considered more desirable and more valuable. This is the standard garnet for many birthstone pendants.

Two Dimensional Garnet Pendants
