Why Buy Loose Gemstones Instead of Pre-Set Jewelry?
 
There are many reasons, but mainly it comes down to value and choice...

When buying your gemstone loose instead of a pre-set stone, you can be sure that you are getting the best value for your money.  Loose gemstones are less expensive, a better value, and you can really see what you are paying for.  The most important part of getting the right price and finding the best value is to first see what you're getting.  A jewelry setting will hide the inclusions inside a gem, and can deepen or brighten its color.  With a loose stone you can much more easily inspect the gem and see it for what it really is.  In this way you can get a better idea of its true worth and be sure you are paying a fair price.

The second advantage of buying a loose gemstone is choice.  You are free to pick the exact color, cut, shape and variety of the stone for the setting of your dreams, be it yellow gold, white gold, platinum or silver; prong set or bezel set with diamond accents.  You can experience the joy of creating your very own, one-of-a-kind jewelry design. Choose from a variety of jewelry settings and styles to create a completely original presentation that will perfectly suit your individual gemstone and will be as unique as you are!

Golden beryl is a variety of the gemstone beryl.  Beryl is a Cyclosilicate with the chemical composition Be3Al2(SiO3)6. Beryls are popular gems, not only on account of their magnificent colors. Their appeal also lies in their high brilliance and qualities such as their hardness (7.5 to 8), which makes them admirably well suited for use in jewellery. 

The toughness of golden beryl is good. Golden beryl gemstones crystallize in the hexagonal crystal system with a prismatic, parallel and elongated crystal habit. The golden beryl stone is generally vertically striated or grooved, with vitreous luster. Golden beryl has imperfect cleavage which runs parallel to the basal pinacoid. Golden beryl gemstones can be found to be transparent to translucent.  It has a specific gravity of 2.80 and a Mohs hardness of from 7.5 to 8.  Refractive indices range around 1.58 to 1.59.  The refractive index (RI), measured using a refractometer, is an indication of the amount light rays are bent by a mineral. Birefringence is the difference between the minimum and maximum RI. When birefringence is high, light rays reflect off different parts of the back of a stone causing an apparent doubling of the back facets when viewed through the front facet.

Color

              

Small traces of iron, and a natural aura which emanates from minerals containing uranium, are sufficient to give a colorless beryl a more or less intense yellow tone - the typical color of the golden beryl.  Golden beryl holds a fascination with its fine spectrum of yellow hues, from a weak lemon yellow to a warm golden color.

Iron and uranium together are also responsible for the fresh, stimulating greenish yellow of another beryl variety, the heliodor. The name goes with the color very well, being derived from the Greek helios (sun) and doron (gift). So heliodor is a 'gift from the sun' to Man.


Cut

Because the match of iron and beryl is a complementary, the crystals often grow large and lovely, so cut stones can be sizable. The largest faceted golden beryl, 2,054 carats, is on display at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington D.C.

Treatments

Golden beryl is sometimes heated to fully unlock its color. This treatment is permanent.

                                                           

There are extensive references to beryl as a gemstone in folk lore.

In ancient times, colorless beryl was used to make eyeglasses.

Beryl had been used as a physician's tool and gazing stone since ancient times. Those beliefs persist today. Beryl is metaphysically attributed with the ability to cure a number of intestinal and stomach ills, such as nausea, ulcers, and seasickness.  It is also said to be effective at treating disorders of the heart and spine.

The message of Golden Beryl is that there is no obstacle that confidence and conviction cannot resolve.
