A LITTLE SOMETHING CLASSIC

Regardless of the latest trends, timeless, classic-looking rings will never go out of style. But sometimes, a new style becomes so pervasive, that it becomes a modern classic. Geometric designs have done well with brides looking to stand out from the crowd.

JEWELRY - THE GIFT OF LOVE

Jewelry is the ultimate symbol of love. Jewelry has fascinated, thrilled and awed the world for centuries. What makes jewelry so special? jewelry speaks louder than words - and it lasts a lifetime. That's why you see so many jewelry heirlooms that get handed down from generation to generation. Certainly, jewelry's romantic past makes it a natural gift for lovers to bestow on one another. And because of the rarity of many of these stones (diamonds in particular), you can count on them holding their value - both monetarily and emotionally.

Synthetics

Synthetic or "lab-created" stones are grown using the same elements as natural stones. They have the same physical, optical and chemical properties as a natural stone. Lab-created stones also have the same mineral content as naturals. The only difference is that a synthetic stone was created in a factory rather than in the ground.

Simulants

Simulants are also grown in the lab. They have an appearance similar to that of a natural gemstone but have different physical, optical and chemical properties. Gemstone simulants produced in the United States include coral, cubic zirconia, lapis lazuli, malachite and turquoise. Cubic zirconia is the most popular and well-known simulant by far. This man-made stone looks like a diamond but can cost as little as $2 per carat. Of course, it doesn't have the sparkle of a diamond and isn't nearly as hard. Jewelers can easily tell the difference between natural stones and their simulants.
