The Importance of Cut in Faceted Stones
and, last but not least:
The Work of Judith Kiriazis
Original design jewelry with dichroic glass, precious metals,
and gemstones by the owner of this site
While
the term "gemstones" can refer to any precious or semi-precious material used in
jewelry, people most often equate gemstones with precious and semi-precious
transparent faceted stones, such as diamonds, tourmalines, topaz, etc. However,
the world of gemstones is much broader and varied than just these. Heart of
Stone Studio does offer faceted gems, but our emphasis is on the world of
translucent and opaque gemstones, which, instead of being faceted, are cut in a
variety of shapes with flat backs to enable easy incorporation into jewelry
designs. These flat-backed, domed-top gems are called "cabochons" or "cabs," and
we invite you to browse through our dozens of pages of cabochons which originate
all over the world and come to you in every color of the rainbow. Another
emphasis of our website is a special type of flat-backed stone covered with tiny
crystals, called "druzy" (also spelled "drusy.") Drusies come in a variety of
natural colors, as well as with various metallic coatings, and they add sparkle
and interest to any jewelry design. We are proud to offer what is probably the
web's largest selection of high-quality drusies. We hope you will become part of
our Heart of Stone Studio customer community. Every one of our stones is
hand-picked and guaranteed to please!
