These colorful wonders brought up from beneath the surface of the earth are reminders of the ever-surprising beauty of the natural world. Their brilliance and luster incorporate seamlessly into jewelry. Whether you wear them to play off the sparkle in your own eyes or to keep in mind a desired characteristic, semiprecious stones are beauties to treasure.
