Gems and Jewellery/Precious Gemstone
Precious stones are defined as visually appealing gemstones created from rocks or minerals. Often used for jewelry and fashion accents, this term was created in the mid-1800’s to refer to four specific stones; diamonds, rubies, emeralds, and sapphires. All precious stones are translucent and are valued by the richness of their color, except for the diamond, which has a higher value based on being colorless.
Their rarity, beauty, and method in which they are produced all add to
the allure of a precious stone. Any accessory containing a precious
stone would be deemed sophisticated and worn by someone of high class.
Here are the list of most famous precious gemstone that is also available in our online shops
Diamond-is the most popular of all gemstones. The diamond is the highest
valued precious stone, which takes millions of years to form. A diamond
is a mineral compound made of pure carbon and is the hardest natural
substance on the planet. Diamonds are so strong, they can only be cut or
polished by another diamond. The name itself is derived from the Greek
word “adamus,” which means “invincible.” Diamonds are typically
colorless, but yellow, brown, green, gray, black, pink, blue, red, and
purple stones can also be found along the diamond color spectrum.
Jewelry-grade diamonds are rated based on color from bluish-white to
yellow, and on clarity, which ranges from pure to various levels of
flawed.
Emerald
Emerald is a gemstone and a variety of the mineral
beryl colored green by trace amounts of chromium and sometimes
vanadium. Beryl has a hardness of 7.5–8 on the Mohs scale.Most emeralds
are highly included, so their toughness (resistance to breakage) is
classified as generally poor. It is a cyclosilicate.
Ruby
Ruby – The ruby is a pink to deep red precious gemstone. The name comes from the Latin word for red, ruber. Rubies are said to attract good luck for the wearer. Ancient Hindus believed rubies were a sign of protection from evil. Today, the ruby has come to symbolize love and passion. Rubies were also highly prized by ancient Chinese warriors who were known to wear rubies on their armor. Most rubies today are mined in Africa and Southeast Asia. The largest mined ruby weighing in at four pounds, the Liberty Bell Ruby, was stolen in a heist in 2011. The ruby is the birthstone for July. See our photo gallery of ruby jewelry.
Sapphire
Sapphire – Sapphires come in a variety of colors,
but are mostly associated with blue hues. A sapphire of another color,
like pink, white or yellow, is generally called a fancy sapphire. The
blue sapphire represents peace and serenity. It is seen many times in
ancient religious writing to symbolize purity, wisdom, loyalty and
faith. Sapphires are mined throughout Africa and Asia, but can be found
in Australia and the U.S. The sapphire is the birthstone for September.
