When sweaters and jackets can largely be left in the closet in spring and summer, jewelry comes to the fore and no longer disappears under clothing.
As before, striking necklaces, rings, and especially
bracelets and bangles are fashionable. They do not always have to be authentic
jewelry, and some costume jewelry is in no way inferior to this.
And yet, all women love to wear royal jewelry.
Especially
those who love stones don't always want to settle for knockoffs. Beautiful
silver jewelry with semi-precious stones is sometimes not that expensive.
Hopefully, you can find great bargains at stone shops, wholesalers, fairs, and
flea markets. The best: Being a natural product, each ring or pendant is
unique. Inclusions or grains, in particular, transform specific stones into miniature
works of art.
This article is not about first-class rare and precious gems like ruby,
sapphire, and emerald, but about semi-precious stones. The criteria
that determine its value are different. In addition to color, it can be size,
purity, durability, frequency, light transmission, or brightness. The country
of origin also plays a decisive role for retailers. If a stone and its region
of origin have a historically verifiable history, it can increase value. We no
longer have to worry about it. We only need a trusted dealer. And I am
convinced that they can be found in all stone shops in Switzerland.
The most beautiful stone shops I know are all in alleys or beautiful old houses,
and they have a particular style. The sales staff, often the owners
themselves, are open and willing to answer questions. Here you will find
timeless jewels, and you can combine them to go with all fashions. Shamballa
bracelets have been popular for years: more petite stone balls are mostly
strung on a rubber band. They can be worn individually or if it can be more
striking, combined. Long stringer chains are inexpensive. They are made of
strung stone chips.
If you have more than one of these chains, you can always
create a new look for yourself: they can be worn individually, but you can also
easily roll two or three chains together and thus always create unique color
combinations. There are simple clasps that these long chains can be worn close
to the neck like a necklace with - both ends of the chain hook onto these chain
clasps and then close on the neck. You can also play great here: several chains
of shards of the same stone turn into a solid chain of one color when you twist
them. The mixture of different rocks creates an entirely new look. To change,
you can weave a thin gold or silver chain.
Chip chains also attract attention when wrapped around the
wrist multiple times and worn as a bracelet. Variety is the command of the day
when it arises to jewelry. Once you have a few coins, you will soon notice how
much fun it is to recombine them and constantly find different options
throughout the day. Simple, larger stones set in silver, mostly cabochon cut,
can have a sporty, romantic, or mysterious effect. Depending on whether the
frame is simple or decorated and what type of stone has been chosen. Also, the
cabochon cut is not faceted and gives the stone a round or oval shape.
Below, I will give you an overview of some famous and affordable semi-precious stones.
Of course, this list is not exhaustive. There
are countless types of rock, especially when the many subspecies are included.
Amethyst: I don't know any woman who doesn't like it. It is
available in pale purple to deep dark purple, as well as granular. It is found
in many regions, which are amethysts from Brazil, India, and Africa.
Carnelian - It comes in beautiful shades ranging from orange
to warm red to reddish-brown. Their locations are in mountainous regions. It is
often multi-colored, for example, with red and white stripes or spots. Those
