Other colors of beryl are simply referred to by their color, such as red beryl. Aquamarine is colored by trace amounts of iron that find their way into the crystal structure.

With colored gems of all sorts, it is difficult to specify a particular shade of color, yellow in your case. As you likely know, the stone blue topaz is available in several shades of blue. The shades and intensity of yellow in sapphires is also quite variable. The best thing to do when getting two or more stones is to ask the jeweler or other supplier to "Match The Stones." You might also want to see a sample of the color. Most vendors will send a jeweler a selection on "memo", meaning the goods are not invoiced or billed for a period of time. This method allows the customer to see the stones and accept or reject. Some jewelers will charge you shipping for thi

Author: Andrew Regan n modern times tiaras are often seen at weddings, balls and other formal events; but at one time they were the preserve of royalty. Indeed, a tiara is a form of crown which has been worn throughout history by various kings, queens, and emperors around the world, from Persia to Pompeii. Most historians credit the Egyptians with creating the first tiaras, but since then they have featured in high society circles throughout history; Napoleon Bonaparte is said to have influenced the wearing of tiaras by making them a required accessory at all social functions during his reign, to ensure that others would take note of him and his family's affluence and nobility. At one time, a tiara could be made of leather or other fabric, but now, a tiara refers to a semi-circular metal band which is often decorated with jewels and worn by women as a decoration rather than a symbol of rank. Queen Elizabeth is famed for her love of tiaras, and is said to have the largest and most
