How to clean gemstone jewelry and medal jewelry. Pour a sufficient amount into a bowl and swirl it around for a minute, then use an old toothbrush and brush your jewelry and return to the solution for a minute.

If you are not satisfied with the results, repeat the process. If you are cleaning jewelry that has pearls or opals, do not brush the stones.

How can you tell if the gemstone is a natural stone? Typically you can’t tell unless you are very knowledgeable of stones and as far as translucent stones you have to rely on the supplier to tell you. We only offer natural stone jewelry. There are a lot of simulated stones available in jewelry that we will not sell. The reason for this article is to educate you on what you are buying.

There is no definite rule today as to what is a fine gemstone or a semi-precious stone. We offer translucent stones and pearls in our fine gemstone jewelry section. Translucent gemstones are usually faceted and can have a rating from A to AAA. Translucent gemstones may not be rated and still be a natural stone, meaning the stone is authentic. You can be sure the stone is authentic if it has a rating. There are different types of translucent stones and some of these stones are not what I consider natural stones. There are Lab-Grown gemstones and simulated (fake) stones; this type of stone is never graded. Does this mean the stone is cheap? This type of gemstone can be quite expensive; you cannot judge the authenticity of a stone by the price. This is a list of translucent or more valuable gemstones that are graded that our supplier offers. These stones are not listed in any particular order as to the rating or value: Alexandrite, Amethyst, Chrome Diopside, Emerald, Whiskey Quartz, Green Quartz, Smokey Quartz, Ruby, Tanzanite, Aquamarine, Apatite, Fire Citrine, Yellow Citrine, Sapphire (white, pink, blue, and yellow), Sunstone, Topaz (Swiss blue, purple passion, London blue, ice blue, green, and white) and Opal. Opals are usually only authentic in very small sizes. Opals are very delicate and are hard to cut. The larger opals you might find in jewelry are usually synthetic.

We classify semi-precious stones as opaque stones. These stone are usually not graded; the exception to the rule is Lapis Lazuli. There are hundreds of names for semi-precious stones especially Jasper due to the different colors and patterns of this stone. The other stones in this category are Onyx, Lapis Lazuli, Denim Lapis, Turquoise, Chinese Turquoise, Sleeping Beauty Turquoise, Hematite, Moonstone, Crysocolla, Iolite, Amber, Jade, Chalcedony, Carnelian, Chrysophase, Pyrite, Variscite, Coral, Mother-of-Pearl (MOP), Tiger Eye, and Malachite. We only offer some of these stones in this list at SilverStones. We do have some jewelry we make that has different gemstone options. You will see the word “option” underneath the particular piece of jewelry when there are different stones available.

Are there Lab-Grown and synthetic versions of these stones listed in this article? I guarantee you there are. That’s why you have to be very careful what you buy when it comes to gemstone jewelry. Visit our FAQ page on our Web site for more terms used in jewelry and what they mean.

We don’t operate like your typical store. We don’t mark everything up then give you a huge discount making you think you’re getting a great deal. What they’re doing is over charging you in the first place. These stores are still making a profit even when they have a 75% off sale. This is a tactic to lure you into their store hoping you’ll buy more than just their bait item. We don’t markup other items to make up for the difference when we have a sale. Shop SilverStones and save on authentic 925 sterling silver jewelry. We take the guesswork out for you. We don’t sell silver plated jewelry and our gemstones are real, not CZ’s. Why buy junk jewelry when you can buy the real thing at discount prices every day.

How do you know what you are buying is real silver jewelry? Once upon a time you could look for the 925 stamp, which is no longer true. There is a lot of silver jewelry on jewelry Websites that claim it is 925 sterling silver, it’s not. There is some unscrupulous tactics of how silver jewelry is made due to the increase in the price of silver. I discovered this recently when I saw a bracelet very similar to the on I sell. I contacted the supplier to inquire about the bracelet. The supplier admitted it was not 92.5% silver but 65% silver and 35% copper. I ordered the bracelet to inspect it and it did have the 925 stamp on it. Could you tell it wasn’t sterling silver? No, as a matter of fact I took this bracelet to a jewelry store to see what they would give me for it. They looked for the stamp, threw it on the scales and gave me a price. They couldn’t tell the difference either. This counterfeit silver jewelry coming from China. They will copy anything and sell it for a fraction of the cost. That is what this bracelet was, a copy.

How can you tell if it’s real silver jewelry? You could use a testing block with a chemical solution or buy from a reputable supplier. The big clue is the price. If it’s cheap then it is this lower grade silver jewelry or it is plated. We only carry sterling silver jewelry that is 92.5% silver. We do not carry plated silver jewelry. I cannot say all silver jewelry that comes from China is this 65/35 mixture. What I am telling you is it is out there. Yes, there is some silver jewelry we carry that comes from China but we do not buy it directly from that country. We buy from reputable suppliers in the US.

This sterling silver curb chain shown above comes from Germany. We offer sterling silver chains from Germany, Italy and the US. This curb chain is one of my favorites and it is available in 18″, 20″ and 24″ lengths.
