Natural Gemstones...
by Julie Lee of Julie's Jewelry Design, LLC.
In the realm of colored gems, what is natural? What is genuine?
Are all natural gemstones genuine? Yes. Are all genuine gemstones
natural? No.
In today's marketplace, it's imperative to differentiate between these
descriptions, and it's required to inform all customers of the correct
nomenclature. It will help consumers make an educated decision and
allow them to be satisfied with their choice.
Today there is a continual misuse of the term natural in the gemstone industry. Many
times the word natural is used to describe stones that are genuine (as opposed
to lab-created). Natural actually refers to the complete lack of treatment
(with the exception of faceting) in a genuine gemstone. These
are gems whose color and clarity have not been altered using heat, chemicals,
radiation, fillers, coatings or any other process applied by man. They are
just the way nature intended for them to be. Jewelry by Julie's Jewels simply
finishes the stone's presentation by professionally cutting it to exact
standards to bring out its most spectacular natural beauty.
How do we know which stones can be labeled natural? Jewelry by Julie's
Jewels purchases directly from reliable vendors to be sure it's completely
untreated and can be guaranteed natural. Additionally, larger stones are
lab-certified for their natural determination.
Current FTC guidelines recommend full disclosure of any and all techniques
that affect the color or appearance of gemstones. Natural gemstones
are those that can be proven devoid of any enhancement or treatment to bolster
their color, color value, or overall appearance. Every natural gemstone
delivered by us
comes with a guarantee you can count on.
