Judith Ripka- Stones For Jewelry

When we think of diamond jewelry, Judith Ripka comes to mind. One usually thinks of the most precious stone with regards to the latest trends in luxury jewelry. Ocean blue sapphires, star-like diamonds, fire red rubies, and forest green emeralds are the stones most often used in jewelry. These stones are very valuable and therefore have been synonymous with luxury and glamour. Their use in luxury jewelry has been overdone. Sometimes, the designers use them excessively in one single season. But these days, one need not settle only for these gems. Today many more artistic designs are seen using unknown and semi-precious stones. Their remarkable artistry and one of a kind nature make them equally precious.


What then are these “other” stones? The most obvious answer to this question is garnets, amber, turquoise, and topazes. There are also a number of stones available that are eye-catching and are sparkle with all the dazzle of the more common stones. These lesser known stones can be fashionable as well and compete with the other stones in respect of trendiness.
