“Wear this ring as a sign of my love and loyalty…” We hear this line very often when we attend weddings as this mean binding two people who are very much in love and are willing to be together ‘til death do they part. Rings are ornaments worn on a finger by both men and women and can be of any quality. Some people prefer wearing just silver or gold and can be studded with any kind of gemstone. While some prefer to dress their fingers gaudily with just about any kind of accessory or semi-precious stones. Gems are also often used as rings as well.
Gems can be a precious or semi-precious stone and can be very attractive specially once they are cut. They come in different colors and can be clear or opaque. A turquoise ring is an example of an opaque gem. It was termed as an ornamental stone through the years due to its unique color. It is a bluish green stone which can have a pale bluish white streak. Despite its low hardness compared to other gems, it has a waxy luster and can take a good polish.
