Designer Gemstone Jewellery

rnWhen shopping for gemstone jewellery online one of the first things to consider is whether the gemstone jewellery is created with genuine gemstones. Many jewellers, even many of the biggest jewellery brands, use artificial gemstones in their gemstone jewellery. When shopping for gemstone jewellery you should check that the jeweller provides a written guarantee that the gemstones used are genuine.

The next factor to consider when purchasing designer gemstone jewellery is the type of gemstone you wish to own. As well as the household names of precious gemstones such as Diamond, Emerald, Ruby & Sapphire there is a vast choice of gemstones available in every colour combination most of which are ideal for use in jewellery.

Each gemstone has different qualities making it suitable for certain jewellery designs. Diamonds are a very hard gemstone making them particularly suited to everyday wear. Opals are a very soft gem making them ideal for occasional wear or for everyday wear when set into certain jewellery styles.

When purchasing gemstone jewellery an important factor to consider is the value of the gem, both now and in the future. Gemstones which are readily available are unlikely to considerably appreciate in value over time however a high quality gem from a depleted or closed mine will almost certainly appreciate in value, often by up to 20% of its value annualy. One of a kind gemstones will also always hold their value and increase in value over time.

The value of a gemstone is determined by its clarity, cut and carat weight. You may find many pieces of jewellery created with gemstones which may appear to be similar however upon closer inspection and comparison you will notice vast differences in the quality of a AAA grade gem and a lower grade gemstone. When shopping for gemstone jewellery be sure to check that you are comparing like for like.

All of our gemstone jewellery is handmade in the UK using only genuine gemstones and solid precious metals. Every gemstone we use is hand selected for colour, cut, clarity and overall quality. Many of the gemstones used to create our unique gemstone jewellery are one of a kind and are true collectors pieces. Unlike other jewellers we do not sell any mass produced jewellery; all of our jewellery is either a one of a kind piece or a strictly limited edition design. We don\''t design a piece of gemstone jewellery and then select a gemstone to use in the design; we hand select all of our gemstones and then create a custom design inspired by each individual gemstone.
