Gemstones are beautifully cut and polished stones derived from rock, minerals,
or petrified components.
Gemstones are divided into two categories: precious gemstones and semi-precious gemstones.
Precious gemstones are diamond, ruby, sapphire, and emerald. Although Amethyst was once a precious
gemstone it is now considered a semi-precious gemstone because of its wide-availability.
Precious gemstones are more rare than their semi-precious counterparts.
At BeadifulBABY we use only quality semi-precious gemstones that are rich in color.
