Buying Gemstones for Jewelry: Understanding Gemstone SizesFor many people, gemstone sizes can be very confusing, not only for those who are unfamiliar with the metric system, but also for those who don't completely understand the exact format in which gemstones sizes are described and provided. The internationally recognized unit of measurement for gems and jewelry, including diamonds, colored stones and jewelry findings is always given in millimeters, usually rounded to the nearest two decimal points. For our US customers, the following inch to millimeter conversion table may be helpful when buying gems by size for your jewelry needs:
The format used to describe gemstone sizes can also vary depending on the shape of the specific stone. For round gemstones, usually two dimensions are detailed; diameter and depth. For ovals and fancy shapes, gemstones sizes are described using three dimensions; length, width and depth. Gem buyers should also be aware that gemstones are rarely cut with perfect symmetry, and depending on where a stone is actually measured from, its size may be given as differing values. Thus, it's highly recommended to allow for some variance in regard to exact millimeter sizes when buying colored gemstones for your jewelry settings. How Big Will My Gemstone Look? The picture below may be helpful when deciding how big or how small a gemstone you require for your jewelry. This image shows an outline of how a 6.5 mm round stone may look when set in standard ring sizes. A 6.5 mm stone may look large in delicate jewelry designs, but in chunkier designs such as a men's rings, a 6.5 mm stone will appear much smaller than you might expect.

Posted By Jazz in July, 2022 Source: Bizrate Overall Rating -> 9 Me parece que la pagina es muy accesible para la compra y el pago ; solo tengoUna oportunidad de mejora seria que exista la opcion de recoger el pedido directamente en la sucursal de mensajeria porque en ocasiones casi siempre estamos fuera de casa. en general todo muy bien por el momento.Otra opcion de mejora es que existieran cupones de descuento y ofertas especiales , ya que una amiga y yo compramos frecuentemente gemmas para uso personal y a ella le comentaron que no tenian ningun descuento como cliente frecuente , esto lo pregunto previo a hacer este pedido .gracias ! Posted By CINLU in June, 2022 Source: Bizrate Overall Rating -> 10 Website is pretty easy to use. Some items do not have enough information like origin of the item or if they are natural or lab created. Not enough pictures/some pictures of products are not clear. This might possibly just be a mobile phone user problem however. Posted By Lolo in October, 2022 Source: Bizrate Overall Rating -> 10 Purchase process is easy. Make the selection online and pay for it. About a week to 10 days later the stone shows up. Very easy and on time.
