 A Brief History of Gem Stone Jewelry

Man is not sure when pearls were first discovered, although many believe that it was before recorded history. Pearls have long been one of the most sought after gems and have the tradition of being magnificent and rare. Hindu writings tell us of Krishna bringing a gift of gem stone jewelry made of pearls to his daughter on her wedding day. This is the first account of pearls and weddings, possibly beginning the tradition. They believed that pearls would bring longevity and prosperity. Greeks had the idea that pearls should be part of the wedding as well, believing that pearls would bring love. All guests of the wedding would be festooned in gem stone jewelry made of pearls. Pearls were sacred wedding gems that were given for gifts as the word "pearl" became coupled with "love".

Egyptians were among the first to use gem stones in their jewelry. Jewelry was depicted in many drawings of ancient Egypt. They had two gem stone bracelets, one at the wrist and one above the elbow. The jewelry was designed using amethyst, turquoise and lapis lazuli. During the Medieval period wearing of jewelry was highly discouraged. Can you imagine? What were they thinking? Although jewelry was discouraged, rings and brooches were worn. During the late Medieval and Early Renaissance period we began to see more jewelry. Jewelry began to appear once again during the Renaissance/Elizabethan period. Jewelry designed with pearls were the most common at that time. Finally earrings appear on the scene in Italy in the early 16th century, although they were usually quite plain, made with a dainty drop pearl. The Roaring Twenties saw new designs that were tagged "Art Deco". Most of the jewelry was made out of abstract geometric shapes and forms. Designs that were created by the Aztecs and Egyptians were combined with modern art to create a stunning display of jewelry.

"Retro Modern" is a design that made it's appearance in the 1940's. Large scale jewelry with many curves and bows were often designed using yellows, pinks, and greens. Unusual mixtures of colored gem stones were used in this new type of jewelry. There was a shortage of platinum during World War II so jewelry was made of gold and silver. In the 1990's platinum made a huge comeback along with the designer jewelry that we are seeing today. Today's jewelry is very diverse, created as a sculpture would be formed. Jewelry has become an art form. Gem stone jewelry and beaded jewelry is extremely popular, designed with silver wire and beads.

Gemstones

The information on these pages were collected from a variety of gemstone and lapidary books and from information gathered on the internet.

• Agate Gemstones comes in many forms and colors. It is a variety of chalcedony that occurs in rocks like volcanic lava. Agate is distinguished from chalcedony by the distinct banding that runs through it. Wearers of agate are guaranteed health, wealth and a long life. I'd better get myself a strand!
• Amethyst Gemstones are the most valuable form of quartz. It's color ranges from light to dark purple. Amethyst promotes inner peace & spiritual insight. Wow! Works awful hard and just think, all you have to do is wear it!
• Aquamarine Gemstones are excellent for meditation. Gives a sense of peace and serenity.
• Aventurine Gemstones are in the quartz family. It has tiny flecks of mica throughout it. It's color ranges from pale to medium green. Aventurine helps to dissolve unhealthy thoughts, feeling and related physical problems. It assists in keeping one balanced and harmonized.
• Black Onyx Gemstones are not onyx at all. It is chalcedony, which is another variety of quartz, that has been dyed black.
• Hematite Gemstones are gemstones that are made up of iron oxide and has an opaque and iridescent surface. It's known to calm, soothe, and ease stress. Sounds like a cup of tea, to me!
• Bloodstone Gemstones are a powerful healer and physical cleanser. It purifies bloodstreams and strengthens kidneys, liver and spleen.
• Blue Lace Agate Gemstones clears voice and communications and gives insight into complex problems.
• Carnelian Gemstones grounds and gives focus into the present moment. It also stimulates curiosity and initiative.
• Onyx Gemstones are a semi translucent to opaque quartz that comes in a wide range of colors--reds, apricot, oranges, and browns. It is said to protect the wearer from any negativity.
• Pearls are becoming more affordable due to the cultured pearls available from China. It helps the wearer to have self-acceptance and added femininity.
• Rhodolite Gemstones are from the garnet family. One of the reasons that Rhodolite made such a big splash is because of it's brilliant purple coloring, close to the color of grape juice. Rhodolite is a very durable gem stone with a 7.5 on the mohs hardness scale.
• Rose Quartz Gemstones are a type of quartz that ranges in color from pink to deep red.
• Smoky Quartz Gemstones are becoming very popular in jewelry. It's color is pale to a rich smoky brown. It is said to benefit those that are dealing with depression and fatigue.
• Turquoise Gemstones are a stone that comes in a wide range of colors, the finest being an intense blue, with the poorer color tending to be yellowish green. All turquoise will turn colors with aging. It is very important to take good care of your turquoise to minimize discoloration. Turquoise is considered by some to be a lucky stone.
• The Mohs Scale is a measurement that tells a substance's hardness. The higher the mohs number (1-10) the more durable the gem stone. Diamonds are 10 on the Mohs scale, while Amethyst is a 7 and Ruby is a 9.
• Mother of Pearl is a more affordable way to acquire the luster of pearl jewelry. It is the lining of the shell that houses the pearl.
• Raku is a unique ceramic firing process. Each piece is sealed with a glaze that is high in copper. Each piece is fired in a ceramic kiln until the heat from the piece ignites paper, causing a reaction with the copper in the glaze. The result is a wide range of colors on the surface of the piece full of beautiful colors, luster, and patterns.
• Greek Leather is known for its smooth finish and consistent color.

Misnamed Stones

This is an issue that was discussed on the Jewelry Making forum. The following "stones" are not necessarily even stones.

• The Fruit Quartz' - Cherry quartz, blue quartz, strawberry quartz, pineapple quartz are all synthetic beads that are made to look like quartz. They are still a beautiful bead and add beauty to many pieces of jewelry. As long as they are identified as being synthetic, there is not a problem with these "quartz'". There is such a thing as real cherry quartz, but is very rare and extremely expensive.
• Amazonite is sometimes just dyed onyx that is being sold as amazonite.
• Moonstone is sometimes no more than pressed glass.
• Goldstone is a manmade product made out of copper crystals in glass. Goldstone is sometimes sold as a semi-precious gemstone.
• Rhodocrosite/Rhodonite are sometimes confused for each other.
• Rhodocrosite has white striations and rhodonite is black.
• Chalcedony is actually agate. It comes in a variety of colors. Chrysophrase and carnelian are both types of chalcedony.

Gemstone Jewelry Care and Cleaning Jewelry

• Sterling Silver & 14kt Gold: Both will tend to tarnish over time.
• Store all precious metal jewelry in a zip lock bag to protect it. This does not stop the discoloration, but will drastically slow the process.
• Use a polishing cloth as needed for cleaning your jewelry.
• Jewelry with semi-precious stones and crystals:
• Store all jewelry with semi-precious stones, sterling silver and crystals in a zip lock bag to protect it.
• Do not clean any items with stones in it before checking the instructions on your jewelry cleaning solution. Some stones, such as turquoise, and freshwater pearls cannot be placed in most jewelry cleaning solutions.
• Do not wear your jewelry when you are showering or washing dishes.
• Use caution when wearing lotions and perfumes, for they will discolor gems such as turquoise.
• Pearls: Special care should be taken with pearls. They are much more fragile than most gemstones.
• Use caution when using hairspray and perfumes. Let dry completely before donning your pearls.
• Cleaning pearl jewelry: wipe with a clean dry soft cloth after wearing them.
