Gemstones

Gemstones are naturally occurring, crystalline minerals that are prized for their beauty, rarity, and durability. These precious or semi-precious stones, which include diamonds, rubies, emeralds, sapphires, and amethysts, are cut and polished to create jewelry or decorative items. Each gemstone has its own unique color, clarity, and characteristics, which determine its value and appeal. While some gemstones, like diamonds, are formed under extreme pressure deep within the Earth, others, like pearls and opals, are organic or formed through different natural processes. Gemstones are not only treasured for their aesthetic beauty but also for their symbolic meanings, often representing qualities such as love, strength, and wisdom. They have been used throughout history in various cultural, religious, and royal contexts.
