Crystal Facet Rough

Gemstone therapy: is it best to use the rough cuts or do polished/tumbled stones work just as well?

I've had great results before wearing an amethyst bracelet. The stones were rough and unfaceted, unpolished. I'm now wondering if the atoms are sealed in as the gems are polished and/or tumbled or faceted and whether rough cuts (crystals, chunks etc) simply work better.

They both work, but i feel that the unvarnished, untouched (and therefore, in my opinion, more pure) work a lot better as they are as nature made them

Cut Loose Gem

nose stud stuck in my nose?

so the gem fell out of my nose stud, and i wear a straight bar with no ball on the back and i guess my skin grew around it. i kinda got it loose but what else can i do tonight (without going to go get it cut out)

Did your skin grow around it on the inside or outside? On the outside, you will probably on have the choice to get it removed. You probably have what is called a keloid. I have had this problem every time I have gotten my nose pierced. (3) If it is growing over on the underneath, (inside your nose) you can pull pull pull from the top part where your gem would have been. Your nose is pretty sensitive and keloiding is very very painful and difficult to deal with. My best advice is to go to a a piercing studio and ask for their help. I promise getting it taken out is not as painful as you would think.Please be very careful.

Adding Some Razzle to Your Dazzle - Incorporating Gemstones in Jewellery Making

Jewellery making is an art form, and the incorporation of gemstones into jewellery goes back thousands of years. But gemstones don't necessarily mean top end diamonds or rubies - there are a whole range of gemstones that can be used by jewellery makers for very little initial cost.

Suppliers of gemstones recognise that their products can be used in any form of jewellery, from rings to broaches, necklaces to earrings. The possibilities are only limited by the creator's imagination. There are so many shapes and sizes to choose from, it may be a little daunting at first glance, but if you plan your piece of jewellery carefully, there is bound to be a gemstone to fit.

The first thing to do is to decide exactly what kind of piece you want to create. Once you have decided on that, you can then narrow your field of choice down regarding shape and size. If you are making a broach with an inlay gemstone setting, a cabochon of any precious or semi-precious gemstone can easily be fitted into a corresponding blank mounting. A popular combination is silver and turquoise, giving a beautiful finish for a budget price.

Most silver and gold findings can be bought from jewellery suppliers. Good suppliers will also carry a range of gemstones that are designed to fit their selection of mountings. To use gemstones in your jewellery making, you need only a few simple tools and a lot of imagination. If you're really serious about gemstones, you can purchase the uncut stones and build up your workshop to include tumblers, polishers, diamond-tipped drills and other jeweller's tools to create your own, unique results. If you are intending to produce a quantity of gemstone jewellery, the initial outlay of equipment will soon pay dividends, as the uncut gemstones are far cheaper than the cut ones.

Semi-precious gemstones can also be bought as beads, combined with delicate silver spacers and created into beautiful, elegant jewellery. A particular favourite is the deep blue azure of Lapis Lazuli with its golden flecks and shimmering iridescence.

Creating stylish and unique jewellery is far easier than you think. By incorporating gemstones into your designs, you can even make birthstone-specific jewellery for a particularly individual gift. Each zodiac sign has corresponding gemstones, most of which are relatively common and fairly cheap. Even the more expensive stones, such as emeralds and sapphires, can be cheaper than you expected, especially if you choose a stone that is perhaps of a lower quality, but has its own raw beauty.

The important thing to remember when venturing into the world of gemstones for the first time is to shop around. There are plenty of suppliers in the market, and there are bargains to be had, particularly if you are willing to do a little work on the stone yourself. Don't be afraid to experiment - if you're not happy with the results, you can always dismantle the piece and incorporate the gem into a different setting or even a completely different design.

Gemstones never go out of fashion, so take a look around jewellery fairs to pick up inspiration and ideas for your own work, and in no time you'll be adding your own, unique gemstone designs into your jewellery making.
