Gemstones

Gemstones are pieces of mineral crystal that are cut and polished to make stunning jewellery pieces. Each gemstone is said to have its own qualities and many people believe in their power of healing and in their spiritual beliefs.

All gems are beautiful in their own unique ways and because they are natural gifts from mother nature, there are often small differences in their appearance such as colour, structure, and size.
