Buying quality gemstones is the most important aspect
of precious stone jewelry. Researching and understanding the various factors
that affect the quality of the stone is the first step towards purchasing a
high-grade stone.
If one is buying a treated diamond, it is advisable to choose an HPHT
treated stone, as these are the most resilient and require no extra care for
them to last. Other gemstones in Fayetteville, NC, go through other types of treatments, such as a porous
stone undergoing impregnation to make it more stable and also to influence the
color of the stone. The best example of a porous treated stone is turquoise. Turquoise
turns brilliant blue after being treated with heat. Many choose to fill low-grade
turquoise with a polymer, wax or plastic, making it significantly more durable
than before.
Impregnation treatments
There are many common stones that are impregnated with substance to make
it more durable than before. Some of the stones that are commonly put through
this treatment are turquoise, lapis lazuli, jadeite, nephrite, amazonite,
rhodochrosite, and serpentine. A lot of these are uncommon stones that most do
not hear about.
Unfortunately, as impregnation means that the quality of the stones is
not very high, it is necessary to ensure that you are purchasing certified
stones that have been graded for quality and genuinely when choosing for custom design jewelry in
Fayetteville, NC.
Not all treatments for low-quality stones and HPTP treated diamonds are
done simply to enhance the color for the stones. Therefore, if you are looking
for quality and affordability for diamond
jewelry in Fayetteville, NC, choosing quality diamonds that are
declared suitable for treatments should be the option that you select.
