We have all heard the saying, "Diamond's are a girls best friend", In my case GEMS are a girl's best friend.
What are Gemstones?
The term Gemstone comes from raw or rough minerals that are polished
and cut to create a beautiful stone.
Gemstones are commonly known as minerals that have been fashioned
for personal use.
In most cases Gemstones can be very rare, beautiful, difficult
to mine and durable.
There are a few organic Gemstones such as Amber and Pearl. These
stones come from plants or animals.
There are also synthetic gems, which are lab created to look like
a natural gem.
For the past 15 years
I have collected Gems and have been fascinated with all aspects
of their collectibility.
I have educated myself on Gem mining, color, size, hardness, rarity
and value.
This page will describe all of these details and more! I will
also include links into Gem homepages and sites that sell loose
Gems. Please be patient as all of this will take time to evolve.
This page will focus
on Gems that are rare and hard to find. Very rarely will you find
your common household Gem names like, Pearl, Garnet and Quartz.
Instead, you will be introduced to the world of Alexandrite, Rhodolite,
Iolite, Kunzite, Tsavorite and many more exciting Gems!
You will also be introduced to common Gem terms such as "Hue",
"Saturation", "Overtone" and more!
As you view my Gem section you will find charts that will define and explain everything you need to know in order to purchase a quality Gem Stone!
This page has been specially designed for Ms. Janie's Collector's Studio and its readers. At Ms. Janie's, only top quality merchandise and information will be provided. My viewer's deserve the BEST!
Enjoy, learn and create your own fabulous line of jewelry.
