Gemstone Engagement and Promise Rings
What is the world without color? Without flowers, without the rainbow, or without beautiful gemstones, the world would be
a very different place. Gemstone or birthstone engagement rings are becoming an increasingly popular alternative to diamond engagement rings. Gemstone
engagement rings add a brilliant splash of color and allow more individual expression then ever before. MyJewelrySource offers a beautiful selection of truly
unique precious and semi-precious gemstone engagement rings and birthstone promise rings,
most of which are exclusively sold here.
Blue Zircon: Zircon was once believed to bring wisdom, honor, and wealth to those who own the gemstone. Zircon
has protected travelers from harm and stimulated spiritual growth. Since zircon has a high refractive index, its sparkle is similar to that of a fine
diamond. Zircon is the December birthstone and rates 6 to 6 1/2 on the Mohs scale of
hardness.
Enhancements: Although cutting is the
most basic enhancement method necessary to display the beauty of a gemstone, there are many fascinating methods by which man has demonstrated his ability to
draw maximum color, luster, clarity and brilliance from nature's earthbound treasures. A basic understanding of these enhancement techniques will add to your
appreciation of the beauty, durability and value of the gemstone jewelry you already own,
or plan to purchase in the future. Most blue zircon is heated and chemically treated to
bring out the vibrant blue color. This treatment is substantially permanent and is acceptable in the trade. You should assume that the blue zircon sold
at MyJewelrySource is treated unless stated otherwise.
Blue Zircon Care: Do not use an
ultrasonic cleaner on your blue zircon jewelry. Avoid sudden temperature
changes, steaming and contact with cosmetics, hairspray, perfume or household chemicals. Your
blue zircon jewelry may be
cleaned with a soft-bristled brush or a cloth with plain or soapy water |
