The 5 Finest Precious Stones In The World

Diamond
Of all precious stones the diamond has the simplest composition; it is merely crystallized carbon. Carbon is present in every plant, mineral and animal on earth. Diamonds comes typically from the mines in South Africa. Other countries like India, Brazil, Australia and the United States there has been found diamonds too.

Emerald
An emerald is almost certainly the rarest of all precious stones and is measured by some to be even more valuable than the diamond. If you compare it with other precious stones the emerald is unique in its occurrence in nature. Because it is found in the rock in which it was formed. Different from diamonds, sapphires and rubies, the emerald never occur in gem gravels. The first known locality where emeralds were found was in Upper Egypt close to the coast of the Red Sea. The best emerald stones are found in Columbia, South America. Fine specimens have also been found in the United States in North Carolina.

Ruby
Rubies are the oldest or first identified of all precious stones, dated far back in the early history of Caldera and Babylonia. The finest specimen and the largest quantities are found in Upper Burma. And nowadays over one-half of the world?s supply comes from Upper Burma. The rubies found in Siam, Ceylon and Australia have not the deep rich color like the Burmese ruby: a shade of red slightly inclined to the purple and it is often called Pigeon Blood Ruby. The value of a ruby depends upon its color and transparency.

Sapphire
A sapphire, also named the protector of the innocent, the celestial guardian of truth. It is also told to bring health and youth and it is a symbol of the heavens. The sapphire is birthstone for the month of September and it is made of the same mineral as the ruby, the mineral corundum.

Pearls
Real or natural or pearls are made by oysters and other mollusks like it. The cultured pearl is also grown by mollusks, but with human involvement: an irritant is put into the shells, and causes the pearl to grow. Imitation pearls are artificial made with plastic, glass or a organic material.

Jewelry Trends for Spring and Summer 2010

Jewelry trends for spring and summer 2010 were introduced and discussed at several industry gatherings during the past few months.

Fashion trends and colors, especially women's wear and jewelry accessories were a focus of much interest, along with home furnishings.

In spring 2010 collections the top Pantone colors are Violet, Aurora (rising sun yellow), Turquoise, Fusion Coral, Tomato Puree, and Amparo Blue. There were also thoughtful, cautious neutrals in pink champagne, dried herb green, eucalyptus gray, and warm beige. Black and white in fresh looks updated by unique patterns and color blocks were well represented.

At one recent fashion conclave, Leatrice Eiseman, executive director Pantone Color Institute observed... Instead of reinventing their wardrobe each season, consumers want pieces to complement what they own. Pairing a bold color with a basic piece or freshening up a look with bright accents addresses the needs for practicality and fun.

Jewelry trends for spring and summer 2010 are, of course, great for infusing bright colors or classic neutrals into a wardrobe. Within the popular color schemes of the season, certain gem families such as topaz, beryl, sapphire, spinel, quartz, and tourmaline offer a range of hues, shades and prices. Other notables include play-of-color gems, including opal, moonstone, and pearls.

As one fashion writer reported her observations... "Jewelry on the runways focused on the neck and wrist. The vibe was eclectic, a collage style inspiring customization. Necklaces were either big statement pieces bib style, layers of different pieces of various lengths, or one long necklace dangling a big medallion, amulet or symbol. In bracelets, bangles ruled in various widths, types and colors stacked or armor like cuffs ala Wonder Woman ."

Nancy Leach, senior consultant gem creative for Swarovski, the Austrian crystal and gemstone manufacturer contributed this analysis of buying trends... There's a new creative dynamism rooted in meaning and value, with jewelry designs becoming more intellectual, nostalgic, personal, and mysterious.

Ms. Leach also indicated the 2010 fashion design concepts to be...

• A play on volume and proportion, color and light expressing optimism and a new minimal-modernism infused with techno-inspired elements.

• A mania for layers and collecting, and a clash of cultures to create a proliferation of collaged up-cycled elements to create a modern baroque.

• An escapism in mismatched inspirations, motifs and materials to create the unexpected in designs that are luxurious yet subversive.

• A less-is-more philosophy, zen-like luxury with treasures hidden in light, airy designs expressing essential purity countered by detailed complexity.

Jewelry trends for spring and summer 2010 include chandelier earrings in teardrop shapes, big gem rings with a cluster of stones, cuff bracelets, and web necklaces.
