Birthstones have been traditionally associated with the different months of the year, throughout much of man’s history. The origins include biblical passages, folklore and myth. Birthstone jewelry and gemstones have long been thought to bring its wearer good luck and fortune. In more modern times, birthstone jewelry has been expanded from precious to semi-precious stones to make them more affordable.

Lab Created is used to describe “synthetic” materials that duplicate the properties of the natural gemstone it imitates. They have the exact same optical, physical and chemical properties as a natural stone so it is almost impossible to tell the difference. Even by a gemologist, it is very difficult to identify by the naked eye or even by 10x loupe. With the lab created, you get the best of both worlds, a perfect stone and a great price.

Real gems are gorgeous but incredibly expensive, especially when it comes to big, bright and top quality ones that are extra rare to find. Your only alternative is lab gems!!!  These lovely substitutes are flawless in appearance and they cost only a fraction of the price! Their chemical make-up is the same as the real ones, the only difference is, they are grown in the lab.
All our Gemstones are 100% natural unless otherwise noted. Since our mission is to make our jewelry affordable, and certain precious gemstones like diamonds, rubies, sapphires and emeralds, in large sizes, are not always affordable for everyone. We will carry both natural and lab created or simulated gemstone jewerly, giving you the choice. Lab created, will always be marked as such. The vast majority of our gemstones are natural.

Baroque—the dictionary defines baroque as a French word meaning “irregular in shape”. The Baroque stone, with which we are concerned here, is a natural shaped stone, highly polished. It has no regular or special shape, no perfect or flat sides and no sharp angles. Some of the 17th century furniture was so named because of its irregular shape; thus the word is used today as a name for our tumbled polished gems. Jewelry made with these baroques is called “baroque jewelry”.
With unusual handmade baroque jewelry each stone is a unique, one of a kind, gemstone with an infinite variety of combinations of color, size, and formation, challenging the creative imagination of all of us.

Most of our Baroque jewelry is found by us, in local areas and transformed from rough to gemstones, and then created into jewelry. We use sterling silver and gold filled settings for our handcrafted gemstone jewelry. Finding it, is great fun and then to create things from it is very exhilarating and provides an exciting element to the purchasing process—knowing where it was found, what it is and what it represents. This adds a real personal approach to all purchases.

We will try, with each piece of jewelry, to tell you what the stone is and what it represents, including its healing properties and/or metaphysical properties, when appropriate.

Many of the pieces are made from various types of Agates. Agates, like diamonds, are forever. They retain their beauty indefinitely and can be passed down through generations. Their infinite variety of color and pattern fit them to every occasion. Agate is linked to the planet’s energy, and it is believed to be a highly protective stone. Agates are considered powerful healing stones. We also have a large selection of crystal gemstone jewelry.
