Diamond
You know what they say, “Diamonds are a girl’s best friend”. What makes these little sparkling beauties so valuable and sometimes priceless to the wearer?
Diamonds are carbon, just like the graphite in our pencils! The crystalline arrangement is what sets Diamonds apart from those pencils. The structure is a lattice pattern which creates an incredibly strong bind between the atoms. This is why they are a 10 on the Mohs Hardness Scale and what makes them the hardest of all gemstones! This also makes these gemstones ideal for everyday wear and great in engagement and wedding rings.
They come in many shapes, cuts, sizes, quality and colors. The rarest color is red followed by blues and purples, all of which are subtle. Deeper hues command a very large price tag. The most common color of diamond is actually black and is generally used for industrial purposes! There has been a recent trend and renaissance of black diamonds in fashionable jewelry.
Diamonds are graded under a 10X magnification using the famous four C’s; Color, Cut, Clarity and Carat size. The price of diamonds (and gold) is on the rise because of very strong demand in China and India. It’s best to deal with a trustworthy and honest professional when trying to purchase your diamonds. Hot Rock Jewelry believes strongly in disclosure- personally and amongst our industry.
If you just couldn’t make it to Christie’s New York “Magnificent Jewels” sale on Tuesday April 12th, FEAR NOT! The 10.09ct fancy, vivid, purplish- pink Diamond ring is still available for a cool 12Million Dollars!!!

Emerald
Emerald is a variety of the Beryl family. It appears translucent, highly included, can be light to very dark green and sometimes very dark blue-green. They generally come from Columbia, Russia, Siberia, Brazil or Zambia. Emeralds get their Green color generally from chromium or vanadium (but less likely) and rarely from both! These little beauties may be enhanced by oiling or dying, and some are even synthetic so be careful when buying! And NEVER clean your Emeralds in the ultrasonic or steamer machines! Just a light soapy bath will do the trick for these gemstones.
Healing Qualities:
Emerald is considered the gemstone with the most healing characteristics for the physical body. It works to strengthen ones physical weaknesses in order to help them to heal spiritually, emotionally and mentally. It is applicable for chronic diseases and illness, cancers, intense bouts of fatigue due to physical and acute illness, troubled internal organs and malignant or benign Tumors.
