a gemstone (also called semi-precious stone)

is a piece of mineral crystal which in cut and

polished form is used to make jewelry or other

adornments however certain rocks (such as

lapis lazuli) or organic materials that are not

minerals (such as amber or jet) are also used

for jewelry and are therefore often considered

to be gemstones as well Most gemstones are

hard but some soft minerals are used in jewelry

because of their luster or other physical prop-

the highly iridescent inner nacre layer of the shell

of abalone has traditionally been used as a dec-

orative item in jewelry buttons and as inlay in

furniture and in musical instruments such as gui-

the inner shell of the abalone is an iridescent swirl

of intense colours ranging from deep cobalt blue

and peacock green to purples creams and pinks

therefore each pearl natural or cultured will

have its own unique collage of colours

a gemstone (also called semi-precious stone)

is a piece of mineral crystal which in cut and

polished form is used to make jewelry or other

adornments however certain rocks (such as

lapis lazuli) or organic materials that are not

minerals (such as amber or jet) are also used

for jewelry and are therefore often considered

to be gemstones as well Most gemstones are

hard but some soft minerals are used in jewelry

because of their luster or other physical prop-

erties that have aesthetic value

the highly iridescent inner nacre layer of the shell

of abalone has traditionally been used as a dec-

orative item in jewelry buttons and as inlay in

furniture and in musical instruments such as gui-

tars etc

the inner shell of the abalone is an iridescent swirl

of intense colours ranging from deep cobalt blue

and peacock green to purples creams and pinks

therefore each pearl natural or cultured will

have its own unique collage of colours

a gemstone (also called semi-precious stone)

is a piece of mineral crystal which in cut and

polished form is used to make jewelry or other

adornments however certain rocks (such as

lapis lazuli) or organic materials that are not

minerals (such as amber or jet) are also used

for jewelry and are therefore often considered

to be gemstones as well Most gemstones are

hard but some soft minerals are used in jewelry

because of their luster or other physical prop-

erties that have aesthetic value

of intense colours ranging from deep cobalt blue

and peacock green to purples creams and pinks

the highly iridescent inner nacre layer of the shell

of abalone has traditionally been used as a dec-

orative item in jewelry buttons and as inlay in

furniture and in musical instruments such as gui-

tars etc

the inner shell of the abalone is an iridescent swirl

of intense colours ranging from deep cobalt blue

and peacock green to purples creams and pinks

therefore each pearl natural or cultured will

have its own unique collage of colours

nacre or mother of pearl is the same sub-

stance that is deposited around a tiny parti-

cle that becomes lodged in a mollusk- either

naturally or inserted by a human- which pro-

tects it form foreign objects eventually this

nacre builds around the object and becomes

a pearl not all mollusk shells have a nacre

coating the primary distinction between a

shell that has a mother of pearl coating and

a shell that does not is the iridescent quality

Mother of pearl has a very distinct multi-col-

ored effect and faint glow similar to other

optically impressive moon-like gemstones

repousse is the time honored indonesian met-

alwork technique utilized as a cornerstone

of cynthia Galersquos product development our

Javanese artisans work out of wooden logs

which are then turned on end hollowed out

and filled with a black sticky pitch Sterling sil-

ver sheet is then carefully laid in the pitch and

a relief is hammered from the back of the piece

to form the singular dimensional shape the

finished piece is then chased from the front

to sharpen the design before oxidation is ap-

plied to add depth and texture by darkening

recessed areas within the design The final sur-

face is polished to a resplendent high sheen to

emphasize the line form and detail
