Semi Precious Gems Necklaces

Many people are not clear about the variation between the precious and semi precious gemstone. The definition for precious is very straight forward as the most precious gems are the most rare and expensive. Precious gems would include emerald, ruby, sapphire and the king of all gems -- diamond. Semi precious gemstones, on the other hand, would include stones that are no less beautiful but perhaps not as expensive or rare. There are many great semi precious gems necklaces with which you can adorn yourself.

Necklaces come in many different sizes, styles and lengths. You will find gemstones set in gorgeous gold and silver. You will also find gemstones strung on natural fibers and even wire. There are two distinct styles of gem necklace. One is the pendant style. Pendant style necklaces have a chain, strand or rope onto which the pendant is strung. The pendant serves as the focal point of the necklace. There are all kinds of pendants, from the simple single stone to ornate designs set in various metals like gold and most commonly, sterling silver. The other style of necklace would be the beaded necklace.

Beads are beautiful and stylish. One of the best things about strands of gemstone beads are how creative you can be with the look. You can wear a single strand of beads, or group them and wear anywhere from a few to a whole bunch. Try wearing strands of different lengths for a trendy look. Long necklaces are quite fashionable these days and some Hollywood celebrities have been snapped wearing necklaces that reach their navel. Another hot Hollywood trend are beaded necklaces with large, chunky beads that look like something Wilma Flintstone would wear.

Semi precious gems necklaces are more than fashionable, they are meaningful. All gemstones carry the energy of the Earth and each one has its own special meaning. Examples of beautiful semi precious gems that you can find or even make into beautiful necklaces and bracelets include clear quartz, rose quartz, amethyst, jasper, obsidian, agate, lapis lazuli, tigers eye and so many more. There are even gemstones that contain fossils, such as amber. Gemstones come in every color of the rainbow and then some. There are gems to match every style, mood, preference and clothing ensemble. Once you start collecting gemstone jewelry, it may become a serious passion!
