Beautiful jewelry features a clear, luminous gemstone with an intense color. Which ? It all depends on your crush! Choosing high-end earrings is an investment. These must above all catch your eye and correspond to your tastes. Then come the shape according to your face, then the quality, according to your budget. In any case, try them in jewelry!
Earring favourites, diamonds most often display an almost transparent white color. There are, however, rarer black or even colored diamonds. Amethyst has a more or less intense purple depending on its origin, while sapphires are traditionally blue…, but sometimes pink, yellow, purple, black, green, orange or colorless! The ruby, on the other hand, adopts a blood red color, while the emerald is famous for its multitude of intense greens.
While it is not a question of generalizing, certain colors of gemstones adapt better to one skin tone than to another. Dark skins will thus prefer the luminous shine of the diamond on their costume jewellery, while pale skins will prefer dark shades. On the hair side, redheads traditionally choose amethyst mauve or emerald green. Brunettes more readily choose sapphire blue or ruby red. As for the blondes, they borrow from both camps, marvelously wearing emerald green and sapphire blue!
Personal tastes aside, a pair of earrings adorned with precious stones is chosen according to the quality of these… or your budget, said quality having a radical impact on the price. A precious stone is thus judged on its color, starting with the hue. Then find out about its tone, evaluated from 1 to 10:1 for white, transparent, 10 for black, almost opaque. Saturation, on the other hand, describes the intensity of the color.
However, the most essential quality criterion is not the color, but the purity:some precious stones have inclusions, microscopic fragments locked in the stone. A type 1 gemstone does not have an inclusion, a type 2 often, a type 3 almost always. Some families, like emeralds, are almost exclusively type 3, and that's normal!
The weight of the precious stone, meanwhile, is expressed in carats:1 carat is equal to 0.20 grams. Each stone has a price per carat. The size of the stone, like the metal of your earrings, will define its price.
