Beautiful Gemstone Bead Bracelets

A gemstone or a gem is a piece of mineral crystal, which in a cut and polished form, is used to make jewelry. Though most gemstones are hard in nature, some softer ones are also used in jewelry owing to their luster or other physical properties. These aspects create an aesthetic value. Traditionally, gemstones have been classified into two types, precious and semi-precious. Precious stones refer to diamonds, rubies, sapphires and emeralds, whereas all other gemstones are called semi-precious stones. Though a few gemstones are used as gems in their original forms, most are cut and polished for jewelry. The main classifications here are of two types. Firstly, there are gemstones, which are cut as smooth, dome shaped stones called cabochons. Secondly, there are stones that are cut with a faceting machine and by polishing small flat windows called facets at regular intervals at exact angles. These gem stones are also commonly used as stone beads for bracelets.

There are a large number of semi-precious stones available in the market today. From topaz to turquoise, amber to amethyst, there is a wide variety of stones available. Topaz is a gemstone that ranges from being colorless (white) to yellow or orange, light to dark blue and pink to red. This is the reason why topaz can be found in a variety of colors. In its most unadulterated form, topaz is blue in color. It is a stone that is transparent and exhibits a high clarity. Another common semi -precious gemstone is turquoise which is mostly found in a sky-blue or green color. Amethyst is another such semi-precious stone that is found in dark purple shades. These semi-precious gemstones are perfectly suited for jewelry like ear rings, necklaces and bracelets.

When it comes to bracelets, stone beaded bracelets are one of the most common varieties that women go for. In this type of stone bracelet, beads are used.
