It’s too quiet outside but too messy, nope…too wondrous inside. If you are still scratching your head, speculating about what is stewing beneath the ground but on your kitchen stove, then don’t freak out !!! 

In this article, the diverse forms of loose gemstones, taking bewildering configurations round the clock in enormous depths of the Earth have been discussed in detail.

Natural Gemstones at a Glance

Well, I believe none of us is completely foreign to the term gemstones, right? Gemstones are aesthetic crystals that have been around since time immemorial. For centuries, humans have been adorning gemstones in the form of ornaments to beautify their appearance and to symbolize prosperity, good luck, success and supremacy. People have been using loose gemstones for ornamental purposes for ages due to their majestic, lustrous appeal. 

Sourcing remains an important factor in the case of gemstones. For example: Kashmir for cornflower blue sapphires, Muzo and Chivor mines for the vivid green emeralds and Mogok Valley in Burma for pigeon blood rubies. Certifications from renowned gemological institutes like IGI or AGS ensure the authenticity and sourcing of the gemstones and their treated or untreated status.

Applications in Jewelry

Premium loose gemstones are crafted into exquisite pieces with the help of expert craftsmanship. Artisans can transform an oval emerald into a cushion cut for an engagement ring that maximises the sparkle. Loose gemstones offer flexibility. You can pair a blue sapphire with diamonds for rings or use a teal tourmaline for pendants.

Custom settings allow a touch of personalization to the jewelry. Bezel setting is one of the most secure and stylish ways to set a soft gemstone in a jewelry piece, while prongs are ideal for holding hard gemstones like sapphires in place. Custom settings are widely practiced in the creation of heirloom pieces, where sentiment and tradition are both valued.

Value among Collectors

Collectors focus on building a collection of premium loose gemstones. Gemstones like Paraiba tourmaline and spinels are extremely rare and their value appreciates over time due to their limited supply. High-quality rubies show needle-like inclusions that ensure their authenticity and have their own market value. 

Tanzanites show a unique play of colors ranging from blue to violet and are highly in demand for their pleochroism. Silk-like inclusions in Burmese rubies have their demand in the fine jewelry market for their uniqueness. In high-priced Kashmir sapphires, you will find a soft, rich and velvet-like appearance that offers an air of luxury.

How to keep them shining

Gemstones should be kept in lace-lined jewelry boxes with separate compartments to avoid scratches. Exposure to chemicals and high temperatures should also be avoided to prevent discoloration and loss of luster in the loose gemstones.
