Natural Gemstones versus Simulated Birthstones Your made to order Mother’s Ring is available in your choice of either natural gemstones or simulated birthstones. Some natural gemstones, such as Amethyst and Garnet are only slightly more expensive than the simulated birthstones. Others, such as diamond and ruby are considerably more expensive than their simulated counterparts. After choosing your ring style and birthstones, you will be able to compare the prices for natural versus simulated stones and select either. Simulated birthstones are a man made crystal product that match the appearance of a gem, but do not share the same physical properties as the gemstone they imitate. Natural gemstones are formed deep within the earth and their vibrant colors have captivated mankind throughout history. Since ancient times, certain personality traits have been associated with each gemstone and the individuals whose birth month is represented by that gem. Legendary powers have been attributed to many gemstones and they were worn to bring good fortune to their owner.
A Guide to Gemstone Quality
Natural gemstones occur in a broad range of qualities, and the price can vary accordingly. For example, a pale opaque ruby commands about one-tenth the price of a fine quality ruby that displays a vivid red color with brilliant depth and intensity. While many Mother’s Rings are set with lower quality gemstones, MomsRing.com uses fine quality natural gemstones that are prized for their depth of color, clarity and exceptional cut.
