subject: Designer Costume Jewelry [print this page] Gemstones used in designer costume jewelry
There are several gemstones which frequently appear in designer costume jewelry. Historically these stones were used for their mystical properties, but with the advent of designer costume jewelry, gemstones were selected for their colors more than anything else.
In fact, it is not uncommon to have colored glass used in designer costume jewelry, as the intention of the piece of jewelry is to capture attention and be fashionable, rather than to hold any mystical properties.
And this is the fundamental reason as to why we say our jewelry is not strictly costume jewelry even though it is designer created, it is designed with the mystical properties of the gemstones in mind, not just the visual properties.
However , we dont mind if people call our jewelry designer costume jewelry, because from the outside we can see how it can closely resemble that definition. We also know that once you become familiar with our jewelry, you wont call it costume jewelry either.
Regardless, here is a list of just a few of the gemstones you will find within our designer collection. To emphasize the intention of our collection and of each piece, we have included a description of the commonly accepted energetic or mystical properties said to be contained within each unique gemstone.
The list is not exhaustive though, this is just a brief snapshot of just a few gemstones- we will delve further into this fascinating topic another time.
