Gemstone Picks: Thinking Pink


Light and unapologetically pretty, pink gems are practically blushing.

Sometimes red is just too much and white isn’t quite right. Finding a space in between, pink is more than just pretty — it can, by turns, be demure, fresh, light or moody. Pink gemstones look fantastic set in any metal or in any style.

Against white gold or platinum, it can be striking and sophisticated. Pink gems and yellow gold create a subtle contrast. And marry pink gems with rose gold for a warm melding of tones.

Diamond

Natural pink diamonds are extremely rare, but also extremely beautiful. Most natural pink diamonds come from Western Australia, but there are mines in Africa, Brazil and India. They can vary from a light clear pink to darker pinks with secondary tones. Some non-pink diamonds can be treated through high-pressure/high-temperature treatments, irradiation and annealing. Any treated diamond should be disclosed.

Ruby or pink sapphire

Though the classic color of ruby is a deep dark red, ruby has a lighter side. Pink rubies may also be called pink sapphire, since both gems are a variety of corundum in the sapphire family. No matter what someone calls them, these gems are beautiful in any type of jewelry, and look fabulous when accented by white diamonds.

Garnet

 You may find pink garnets called by two names: Rhodolite and pyrope garnet. Basically, the gem crystals are a mix of different elements and how much and how many of those elements determine the different colors. Garnets are affordable and easy to find in a wide variety of jewelry.

 

Morganite

Morganite isn’t as well known as some of its pink siblings, but it’s truly a beauty. Some prefer it in a pale pink, while the darker rose colors have their fans. It can have a clarity rivaling that of a fine diamond, but many Morganite fans value the natural inclusions.



 Rose quartz

Rose quartz is usually a dusty pink, and is opaque or translucent. Rose quartz is called the “heart stone,” something to keep in mind come Valentine’s Day.







Pink tourmaline

 Pink tourmaline can range from a light pastel pink to a dark pink verging on red. Rubellite is a term referring to a certain color range of red or pink tourmalines; rubellite tourmaline does not change color between natural or artificial light. Pink tourmaline not called rubellite may have a slight color change in artificial light, having more of a brown undertone.

Spinel

Historically, red and pink spinel was often confused with ruby, while blue spinel was misidentified as sapphire. However, they have distinctly different compositions. Pink spinel ranges from bright to pale pink.

Pearls

 Don’t forget about pearls. Along with the expected white or black, pearls come in all colors. Pink pearls look especially fresh, and look wonderful on all skin tones.

Will Blockchain Be a Boon to the Jewelry Industry?

LONDON — For gem specialists, merchants and gatherers alike, the absolute greatest difficulties are the equivalent — and very natural: How would one be able to ensure the moral provenance of a jewel or valuable stone? Guarantee it is genuine and not phony? How might one secure and track the development of a gem inside a divided and murky store network? What's more, how might one validate responsibility for piece if that is raised doubt about? Various gems industry heavyweights have as of late embraced circulated record innovation, an umbrella term for a mutual and synchronized database, to record such data. What's more, excited defenders of blockchain, the basic framework, say the innovation could be a conceivable — and progressive — check arrangement, albeit one still in its outset. Blockchain, which has been utilized since 2009 to support the digital currency Bitcoin, enables an exchange to be recorded forever on a database shared among PCs without depending on an o...

Enamored with Enamel Jewelry

Image
What do you think of enamel jewelry? Personally, until a couple years ago, I hadn’t given it much thought. But with its resurgence in popularity, I’m becoming a big fan!! Certainly enamel is nothing new, as it dates back to the 13th Century BC! (If you want to read more about the history, Lang Antiques has an amazing article about enamel jewelry.) Basically enamel is when a certain type of glass, called an allochromatic, is fused to the metal below. You may be familiar with Closionee and Champleve, which are two popular types of enamel. Today, some jewelers are really taking this tricky technique to new heights, mixing enamel with jewels and themes that really make what’s old new again. Foundrae is one company that really has melded enamel, gold and meaningful talismans together. Here’s their Dark Blossom cuff.   Erica Molinari combines my love of momento mori and enamel in a new type of heirloom ring.  Brooke Gregson adds a whole new dimension to ena...

Splinters from Stars: 10 Facts About Diamonds

Image
This month’s dazzling birthstone is – Diamond! To celebrate this timeless stone, here are 10 fascinating facts about diamonds. The word diamond comes from the Greek word adamas, meaning ‘unbreakable.’ Diamonds are the hardest natural substance on Earth, and the only way to scratch one is to use another diamond. The quality of a diamond is determined by the four C’s: cut, colour, carat and clarity. A ‘carat’ is equal to 0.2g and is used to measure the weight of a diamond. The term carat comes from the Greek word keration, meaning carob seed. It is believed that carob seeds were once used as a unit of weight since every seed was nearly identical in mass. In 1477, the first known diamond engagement ring was given by the Archduke Maximilian of Austria to Mary of Burgundy, which sparked a trend amongst European nobility. Diamonds are formed miles beneath the Earth’s crust and come to the surface through deep volcanic eruption. The Hope Diamond is one of the most famous s...
