If you are in the market for gemstone jewelry, you are in for a treat. There are so many gorgeous pieces available your only problem will be choosing which one to buy. It is easy to find a piece to suit any occasion or purpose as you can find something in almost any color or shade. You will love wearing gemstone jewelry for formal or informal affairs and there is something to fit every budget.
Unlike diamonds, which are indeed beautiful in their own right, colorful gemstones are so versatile and appeal to so many different people, and yet another benefit is that they can also be considerably less expensive. Emeralds, rubies, and sapphires are considered to be among the most valuable of all the precious and semiprecious gemstones in the world and are available in a wide variety of values, settings, cuts, and types.
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.
Rubies have long been the gemstone representing love and passion. Emperors and kings the world over have coveted these beautiful gems for their beauty scarcity and they have been worn by royalty for centuries. Given as a token of love, rubies are also the birthstone for those born in July. These rich red gemstones are also hard and rank high on the Mohs scale which is the scale used to measure the hardness of a mineral.
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.
Gemstone rings are available either as a solitary stone or a cluster with other similar or complimentary stones. Whatever your taste or desire, there is a combination of stones that you will love and treasure for a lifetime.
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.
When you are cleaning your gemstone ring, be very careful not to do so over a sink drain. Rings can so easily slip from our hands and down the drain. Use bowl instead.
