Your Jewelry

The fascination with colored gemstones dates back to the very beginning of civilization. For our ancestors, the blue of sapphire produced visions of the heavens; and red of ruby was a reminder of the very essence of life. By Roman times, rings containing colored gems were prized symbols of power, and the most powerful wore rings on every joint of every finger! Since ancient times, colored stones have been thought to possess innate magical powers and the ability to endow the wearer with certain attributes. According to legend, emeralds are good for the eyes; yellow stones cure jaundice; red stones stop the flow of blood. At one time it was believed that a ruby worn by a man indicated command, nobility, lordship, and vengeance; worn by a woman, however, it indicated pride, obstinacy, and haughtiness. A blue sapphire worn by a man indicated wisdom, and high and magnanimous thoughts; on a woman, jealousy in live, politeness, and vigilance. The emerald signified for a man joyousness, transitory hop, and the decline of friendship; for the woman, unfounded ambition, childish delight, and change.

Jewelry and gems; The Buying Guide

Becoming Intimate with Gems

If you are considering making jewelry to make a little bit of money on the side, you’ll definitely want to think about buying wholesale jewelry supplies. Buying wholesale will allow you to buy the supplies that you need at drastically discounted prices so that when you sell the jewelry at retail prices you will make more off of each piece. If you do not buy wholesale supplies you might find that the cost of your product has to be very high to simply make back what you have spent to produce the finished product.

Traditionally, there was a limitation about choosing distributors of wholesale body jewelry, since one had to choose from those existing in the neighborhood or their city. However, the advent of the Internet has changed all that. A quick search on the net will give you a host of distributors to choose from. Yet, before choosing a distributor this way, a few things need to be kept in mind.

Gold is a precious metal. Historically, it has been used for stores of value (bars) for jewelry, electronics, dentistry, and as actual money (coinage). It is a yellow element found in nuggets that can actually be ruby or black when divided.

It is the most malleable metal known. When other elements are it forms alloys. This will increase the hardness and can create exotic colors. Adding copper gives a redder color, iron more blue, platinum white, aluminum creates purple.
