Gemstones are minerals that have been chosen for their beauty and durability, then they are cut and polished and then used as jewelry. They are also known as gems, precious stones, jewels, or semi-precious stones. Most gems are minerals, but some like pearl and amber are organics. Living organisms create these materials. A mineral is created inside the earth. For gemstone buyers, durability and wearability is usually a high priority.

Too much care and consideration cannot be bestowed on the selection of a jewel. The cutting and polishing of gems and the making of the amazing pieces of jewelry require expert knowledge. The determination of the most harmonious combinations of form and color brings into play the artistic instinct and talent of the jeweler.
