Stone for jewelry
Natural stone for jewelry can be an original addition to any image. Natural materials have various properties. The ancient people were confident in the power of the stone and in the fact that it can certainly become their amulet. And may there be few of those who believe in such magic today.
Features
All natural minerals are divided into the following main groups:
Precious
This group includes minerals that are considered the most expensive, and not jewelry, but jewelry is made from them. It can be jewelry with diamond, sapphire, emerald, although amber jewelry is considered to be very popular today.
Semi-precious
This type of stones has a lower price, but they look just as beautiful. This group includes products with nacre, with amethyst, with amber, with topaz, with turquoise, with chrysolite, with garnet, etc.
Ornamental
These are not very expensive stones and can be used not only as decorations. For example, from malachite, jade or agate, you get delicious household items: jewelry boxes, souvenirs, dishes.
The artificially created stone cubic zirconia, which has a transparent and pure structure and shining just as good as a diamond, is also excellent for jewelry. Diamond faces of cubic zirconia shine brilliantly, resembling precious corundum in the form of a transparent piece of ice with the northern lights inside it.
Costume jewelry with cubic zirconias is an amazing sight. Diamonds have cosmic prices, and only a few can get them, and high-quality jewelry with cubic zirconia looks just as good. This fact is the reason that visual luxury is sometimes allowed by themselves and people are well-off.
Jewelry with Swarovski crystals is not without reason called a work of art, and it is deservedly the leader among all jewelry items that are considered precious, for many years now.
The wealthy girls, who are slightly fed up with real jewelery, can at some time switch to jewelry with stones, so reminiscent of a diamond - with zircons. This gem has many advantages:
- the stone can be transparent, golden brown, bright turquoise and even black, due to impurities such as strontium, iron and titanium;
- looks great in an inexpensive setting of base metal;
- in the colorless version it perfectly imitates natural diamond, emerald and ruby, and in the cubic one it turns out to be an analogue of a diamond.
Types of jewelry
On the shelves of shops, which only jewelry is not: there is a large selection of beads, bracelets, earrings, rings.
Beads
Such jewelry is among the most sought-after jewelery and is universal - suitable for a business suit and for a romantic look. Girls wear beads at any age.
Earrings
Costume jewelry in the form of earrings the choice is huge, from simple "studs" to elegant pendants. Earrings can be worn either without other jewelry, or with a set, but then you should adhere to the rule that other jewelry, for example, a ring, a bracelet or a pendant, would also be made of stone, which flaunts in earrings. In this case, a combination of stones of different rocks will be inappropriate. The best option would be products with a natural pearl.
Rings and rings
Jewelery in the form of jewelry on the finger is very diverse and very popular. Someone like massive rings with a stone of impressive size, and someone - elegant rings, studded with small stones. If you choose a ring or ring as an ornament, then let it be the only one on your hand. An exception can only be a wedding ring.
Pendants
Costume jewelry in the form of a pendant or pendant often serves as an amulet.It can be made in the form of a large stone, framed in metal or in the form of a small metal pendant and decorated with small stones.
Bracelets
Bracelets today are very popular, and this jewelry on the shelves in a large assortment. Bracelets can be modestly chosen, without any special decor, and you can choose a product on which metal elements, and crystals, and various chains are added. Looks great jewelry made of leather, adorned with stones - this is a decoration option, for example, to jeans and a light top.
What do esoteric advise
What kind of decoration is ideal for a particular person? It is believed that the stone must be selected in accordance with its zodiac sign. But in this case, the choice will be limited, because if, for example, a diamond is recommended to be acquired by Lions, then the remaining eleven signs are left to them only to envy?
It is clear that such a formulation of the question does not suit everyone. Esoteric approach to this issue on the other hand - from their own emotions. That is, if you looked at one or another stone, and you liked it (you admire it, you want to hold it in your hands, you feel pleasant sensations) - it means that you can safely buy jewelry with this stone, it suits you.
What do stylists advise
Stylists approach the issue differently and associate the choice of a stone with a color type:
- They offer white-skinned blonde and light-colored eyes to buy amber, jasper, turquoise, which is dominated by green and yellow topaz.
- Light-eyed brown-haired woman with an olive skin tone, stylists recommend stopping the choice on turquoise with a bluish tint, aquamarine, greenish agate or rose quartz.
- On the beauty with red hair and peach skin, according to stylists, garnet, clear amber, tiger eye and golden topaz will look great.
- Dark-eyed brunettes, stylists believe, will suit jewelry with rock crystal, lapis lazuli or zirconia.
What to choose?
All jewelry can be divided into brand and regular. Elite Italian jewelry related to jewelry - this is a great quality and special originality, for which they are very appreciated. Jewelry from France is also popular, and the products themselves are distinguished by sophistication and spectacularity. But the minus of such jewelry is in its high cost, so everyone makes the choice according to their desires and possibilities.
