With Stone - Necklace
Gemstones are mineral crystals which are cut and then polished to make some of the most beautiful pieces of jewellery. They are used in a variety of jewellery items such as rings, earrings, nose pins, bracelets, and necklaces.
The bright colours and the dazzling beauty of gemstones have no rival. The lustre, colour, and rarity of gems are the reason they are used to beautify jewellery worn by men and women around the world. Not all precious stones are mineral crystals. Some gemstones like lapis lazuli, opal and jade are rocks. Others like coral, amber, and pearl are organic materials.
Melorra offers a stunning collection of necklaces set with these beautiful stones, so if you are looking out for a gold pearl necklace or white stone necklace designs, you will not be disappointed!
More about Gemstones
Gemstones are believed to have healing properties and were used in folk medicine to cure many ailments. Intricately carved handmade jewellery has been found amongst the remains of ancient civilisations. Indian rulers have had a passion for collecting the precious stones as they believed that gemstones had mystical powers. Read on to know more about gems and their properties.
Amber: Amber is a tree resin that has been fossilised. Amber is relatively easy to work with as it is soft enough to be shaped by readily available materials, such as sand. As it is easy to find, it became one of the first gemstones to be used in making jewellery. It was also used for healing in folk medicine.
Coral: Coral is a hard, stone-like substance secreted by marine creatures to form a hard outer skeleton. Coral has a vivid shade that is somewhere between red and orange which has been widely used all over the world. In Tibet, it is believed to cure diseases related to the blood.
Turquoise: Turquoise is a mineral crystal that contains copper and aluminium. It has a blue-green or sky-blue colour. It was much admired by the ancient Egyptians. They used to powder turquoise stones to make a brilliant blue eyeshadow and also incorporate the stones into their jewellery.
Emeralds: The green emerald is said to bring good luck. It is believed that India’s richness in the rare and precious stones are what caused the Mughals to stay and set up their glorious empire in the country. They had a great fondness for the beautiful green Emerald, a rare and precious stone. The Mughal Emerald, which can be traced back to 1695, is an example of their love for this precious stone.
Rubies: Rubies vary in shade from blood-red to pink. They are composed of a mineral called corundum. The colour of the ruby comes from the element chromium present in it. They were used to decorate scabbards, armour and harnesses in India and China. Rubies were also set in the foundation of buildings to bring good fortune.
Diamonds: Diamonds are precious stones containing a colourless form of pure carbon. Diamond is the hardest substance on earth. India’s diamond mining can be dated back all the way to 296 BC. Mughal rulers would inscribe their names and titles onto diamonds as a way of symbolising immortality.
Pearls: Pearls are produced by oysters. If an irritant like a piece of shell or sand enters an oyster shell, the oyster produces something called nacre, a crystalline substance that forms layers over the object until a pearl is formed. In 1893, Kokichi Mikimoto created the first cultured pearl in the world. He stimulated oysters to make pearls by manually inserting irritants into their shells.
