Synthetic Gemstones
We are passionate about the authenticity of our gemstones at the Earth Mined Sapphire Company, but we do make thoughtful and educated exceptions.
Synthetic sapphires, rubies, emeralds and other colorful gemstones, were often used by designers and goldsmiths, during the Edwardian, Art Nouveau and Art Deco periods, as colorful gemstones were in high demand. Matching the color of gemstones, was very important to designers and jewelers. High quality, natural, earth mined sapphires were as difficult to acquire, 100 years ago, as they are today.
This is a high quality, authentic piece.
White Gold and Rhodium Plating
Rhodium is a member of the Platinum family. It is a precious and extremely expensive metal. Depending on the market, Rhodium can cost twice that of gold and platinum.
The basis of all gold jewelry, is 24k pure gold, which is yellow. Jewelry made of “White Gold” (10k, 14k, 18k) is almost always, plated with Rhodium. Rhodium resists scratching and tarnishing, giving the white, reflective appearance many designers, jewelers and jewelry owners desire.
When a piece of “White Gold” jewelry begins to show yellow or gold color, it simply needs to be taken to a competent goldsmith or jeweler, who will clean and Rhodium Plate the piece for you.
