Gemstone beads for jewellery making

Precious stones, also called gemstones and jewelry stones – are unique, most miraculous and rarest stones in nature. Centuries ago, people dreamed of having these precious minerals, but not many could afford them. In the past, possession of stones testified to power, wealth and class affiliation. They were used to decorating crowns, tiaras, jewelry and coronation robes, which made them known as precious stones. These highly valuable minerals also adorned objects of worship and temples, and were treated as protective talismans. They are being created for years by nature in different parts of the world, which is why they delight with their beauty and unique charm. It is understandable why for centuries these jewels have encouraged jewelers around the world to decorate the highest quality body adornment with them.

The most fashionable chain types – part 1

When choosing chain styles for necklace or bracelet, we often have a dilemma which one to choose, because the multitude of chain patterns stuns us. Each style is beautiful in its own way and has its own advantages. Some jewelry chains are so decorative that they do not require a pendant. Sometimes the prevailing chain trends can help us choose, in which the link shapes are assigned to a specific type of jewellery or way of wearing. For example, usually a thin design of the anchor chain is intended for celebrities, and a ball chain for dog tags, while a heavy curb chain is popular as solo chain (without a pendant) primarily among men.

GAVBARI pearls – how to make jewelry with pearls

For centuries, pearls have delighted with their nobility and uniqueness, resulting mainly from their organic origin and rarity. What distinguishes them from other valuable jewelry decorations is the fact that they come from water, not the earth’s crust – like most precious jewels. Moreover, they are the only minerals used in jewelry that are produced by animals, namely, they are formed inside the shells of bivalves and clams. The process of their formation is the natural protection of the mollusk against a foreign body, most often a grain of sand, which gets into its shell. This is when the clam begins to produce layers of mother-of-pearl, the same from which its shell is made, to form the wild pearl. This process typically takes up to two years, therefore, taking into account such a long time of their formation and extreme rarity (apparently 1 pearl is produced by 1 in 15,000 clams), pearl deserved to be treated as one of the most valued and desired materials, gaining the title of the queen of jewels.
