Gemstones

Natural stones, also known as gemstones, are at the heart of authentic, timeless DIY jewelry design. To earn this appellation, a mineral, rock or organic substance (such as pearl, amber or coral) must meet criteria of beauty, color and brilliance. Only four minerals have the right to be called gemstones: ruby, sapphire, emerald and diamond. All the others - amethyst, labradorite, howlite, rose quartz, tiger's eye and over 100 varieties - are gemstones.
