What is a Gemstone

GEMSTONE JEWELRY

Gemstones generally refer to all beautiful and precious stones. It is a general term for all natural colors, dozens or even hundreds of gemstones.Their quality and value are evaluated according to color, clarity, cut (cut) and size.

How to choose gemstone?

Color

The color of a gemstone is its most defining characteristic. Generally speaking, the more saturated a gem is, the more valuable it is. But for most people, buying gemstones is not about picking the most “valuable” ones, but about choosing a gemstone of a color that they really, really like. Follow this and you will never go wrong

Cut

A gemstone is cut in a way that best displays or accentuates its color, sparkle, and brilliance. An alluring gemstone, it is sure to be optimally cut to radiate its alluring brilliance, with light reflected evenly from its surface。

Clarity

Gemstone clarity refers to how many—if any—inclusions are present in the stone. Inclusions are things like gas bubbles, fractures, and crystals that became one with the stone as it was being formed. Almost every gemstone has them. In general, gemstones with fewer inclusions are more valuable, but in many cases, a moderate number of inclusions contribute to the appeal of a gemstone and take away none of its beauty.

Size

Gemstone weight is generally measured in “carats,” with larger carat stones having a larger table and more presence. Gemstone dimensions are usually measured in millimeters of diameter, which allows you to represent their size. These dimensions show how much of the gemstone is visible in its setting.

How to Take Care of Your Gemstones

Make sure your jewelry is the last thing you wear every morning and the first thing you take off every night for maintenance.

Use a soft microfiber cloth to regularly wipe and clear away dirt and dust from your gemstone jewelry.

For a deeper clean, you can use a non-abrasive jewelry cleaner. Alternatively, a homemade jewelry cleaner made of warm water mixed with a few drops of mild soap works just as well.

To clean your gemstones, immerse the jewelry in your cleaning solution and scrub it gently with a soft brush. A toothbrush with extra-soft bristles is a good option.

Dip the jewelry back into the solution, rinse with warm water, and dry with a microfiber cloth.

Different types of gemstones have unique attributes that determine the best method of care. While many can be cleaned according to the basic instructions described above, others have special considerations.
