Precious Gemstones For Lifetime

Jewel Valley — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 15:24:08 +0000

Gemstones are one of the most precious substances known to mankind. Their worth alone is reason enough for us to care for them. A gemstone can cost a fortune and one scratch or impurity can ruin there value. As strong and durable as they may be, they can be scratched, dirtied and even broken if mishandled.Some have defined a gem as a mineral that has been enhanced in some manner, which usually includes cutting, polishing, and/or altering it’s original shape. As I mentioned earlier the majority of natural gemstones are rare minerals which have crystallized deep in the earth’s crust over millions of years. When these minerals are cut and polished they have an exclusive beauty & durability and then qualify for the term “gemstone”.

All the Gemstones work on the principle of absorption and transmission of some particular wavelengths which belong to some particular planet. In plain language, most of us would agree that a gemstone is prized for it’s great beauty & perfection. Appearance is almost the most important attribute of gemstones. When we look at a gemstone, we are drawn to the brilliance, luster, fire and the clarity or deepness of color in our determination of the beauty in a gemstone.

Gemstones Natural vs Synthetic

Jewel Valley — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 10:05:56 +0000

What is a synthetic gemstone? A synthetic gem is created in a laboratory under controlled conditions. The gem is grown from a natural gemstone “seed”. By controlling the environment in which the gem is grown, impurities and inclusions can be avoided which occur in natural gemstones. The created stones have perfect color and clarity which is so highly desired. Most natural gemstones have imperfections due to uncontrolled growing conditions in nature. Synthetic stones will have the same chemical, physical, and optical properties of their natural counterparts without the imperfections.

A good analogy for synthetic gemstone creation is growing roses. Roses grown in a hot house where their growing environment is controlled will be closer to perfection than roses that are grown in your backyard. They’re both roses, but the backyard rose will most likely be flawed or imperfect due to disease, insects, and other environmental impacts. Not so with the hot house rose because of the controlled conditions.

Don’t confuse simulant gemstones with synthetic gemstones. Simulants can be made up of any substance, like glass. They are made to simulate a particular gemstone, but they do not have the same chemical, physical, and optical properties of the natural gemstone like the synthetic gemstone. Some examples of simulants are cubic zirconia, moissanite, and yttrium aluminum garnet which are diamond simulants.

The most popular gemstones that synthetics have been created for are emeralds, sapphires, rubies and alexandrites. I’m sure you have seen jewelry with synthetic stones, also known as “created” gemstones in your local retail jewelry store. They are easier to obtain and less costly than natural gemstones. Synthetics have made it more affordable for people to own nice jewelry and many prefer the flawless created stones compared to the natural stones. You can usually spot a “created” stone because it’s just too perfect in color and clarity. A natural stone, especially in rubies, sapphires, and emeralds, which is perfect in color and clarity, is scarce and the cost is beyond most people’s means.

Opal Gemstone Jewelry – How to Select

Jewel Valley — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 07:14:26 +0000

Black Opal

Opals are excellent gemstone jewelry items due to their visual attractiveness, color and extraordinary beauty. Some of the opal stones are incredibly rare – a fact that makes them incredibly expensive. Throughout the history, these very specific and tender stones have received bad reputation, mostly due to superstition and/or ignorance, but today they are as popular as a gemstone can be. Their main virtue seems to be their wonderful color, which comes from the unusual ability of light interference. If you are looking for some opal jewelry to buy, you should be aware that the gemstone quality opals can cost as much as the most expensive diamonds, emeralds and sapphires.

This should not discourage you, however, since there are opals which are beautiful and relatively inexpensive, such as for instance the white opals. In contrast to them, as we said the black opals can be quite costly, but have in mind that they are not really black, they have only darker nuances when compared to the white opal stones. The reason why they are so admired as gemstones in jewelry is the incredible flash pattern and interplay of colors obtained with some of the best specimens.

Opal can be made in laboratory, it can be modified in some way, or it can be manipulated so that it only mimics the more costly gemstones. This is why one should know what to look at when selecting design jewelry with opals implemented in it. The artificially produced opals are often referred to as doublets and triplets.

A doublet opal is a very thin cut of actual opal stones pasted on a dark support. This backing is usually another type of stone, not opal but onyx or agate for example. The triplet opals are produced the same way, apart for an addition of crystal clear capping, made usually from transparent quartz. Both types of manipulated gemstones are easy to spot, and you can indeed distinguish them from the original. However, do not just walk away and discard such opals, they can be an affordable alternative, and still can offer some of the glamor and splendor of the more expensive gemstones .

The alternative is naturally to try to produce synthetic opals and this is exactly what has happened in the last decades. The lab created opal gemstones, are really hard to spot especially if you are not specialist. They can be roughly equivalent to the earth-mined opal. In addition to the both categories we have discussed above, there are some types of stones that can simulate the visual aspect of the earth mined opals.
