Do You Love Moonstone Jewelry?

Cheryl Crow Moonstone BraceletWe've seen quite a bit of moonstone jewelry on celebrity red carpets the past few years, but it's an affordable gemstone that's easily available to all of us, especially if we choose jewelry crafted from sterling silver instead of the platinum or 18K gold styles that celebs usually wear.

Moonstone exists in many colors, but the stones we see most often are translucent white, with a pearly glow. The gems are usually cabochons, but browse jewelry stores and you might see some examples of rough moonstone, most often set into a ring. Take a few minutes to learn a few facts about this popular gemstone and find links to moonstone jewelry.

All About Aquamarine
Aquamarine is one of the most popular gemstones. Colors range from pale to vivid blue, and some aquamarines have shades of green thrown in. Top quality aquamarines are very clear (unlike their close family member, emerald, which tends to have more inclusions). But even cloudy aquamarines have definite charm.


Celebrity Hair Clips
Hair clips have been trending upwards for the past couple of years, and if you like the look it isn't difficult to duplicate these celebrity hair clips for your own night out.
