      <image:title>Treasure Trove - The Science Within Gems, Jewelry &amp; Beautiful Things - Knowing How Skin Reacts To Metal Will Help You Buy That Perfect Gift! - Many people consider “gold” to be a “safe” metal. An allergic reaction to pure gold (24k) is exceedingly rare. Unfortunately, jewelry cannot be made from pure gold – it’s simply too soft to be durable. Any other “K” mark indicates that the gold is an alloy, made up of several of metals. The lower the number, the more of the “other” metals are included in the alloy. On the other hand, the lower the number, the stronger the gold is, and the less expensive it is.</image:title>

      <image:title>Treasure Trove - The Science Within Gems, Jewelry &amp; Beautiful Things - Knowing How Skin Reacts To Metal Will Help You Buy That Perfect Gift! - In any alloy, to carry a platinum mark, the alloy must be at least 95% pure platinum. Since 2015, pure platinum has been less expensive than pure gold. In the past that was not the case, and people still tend to think of it as being more expensive. Items made from Platinum do require extra expertise and specialized tools, which does add to the cost.</image:title>

      <image:title>Treasure Trove - The Science Within Gems, Jewelry &amp; Beautiful Things - Does Your Ruby Glow? - Humans see color when light is either transmitted or reflected by an object. The object must, in some way, take white light, which is the combination of all spectral colors, separate the different colors (wavelengths), and only transmit or reflect certain ones. The visible spectrum (that which we can see), is essentially a rainbow. Each color is a component of the white light with its own wavelength and energy. The shorter the wavelength, the higher the energy. So, violet has more energy than red. Ultraviolet (UV), which we cannot see, is even higher energy than violet.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Electromagnetic Spectrum. Note visible light is only a small portion.</image:caption>

    <image:image>
      <image:loc>https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66537a48f4b2981a3a692a31/52e28c62-9669-4cb6-9c5c-a57d08167a3f/Ruby+spectrum+explained.jpg</image:loc>
      <image:title>Treasure Trove - The Science Within Gems, Jewelry &amp; Beautiful Things - Does Your Ruby Glow? - When light hits a ruby, the full visible spectrum enters the stone (Figure Stage 1). Cr impurities in the stone absorb yellow, most of the green, and the violet portions of the color spectrum. What’s left, and what we then see, is red, orange, and some slight blue. This pattern, called the absorption spectrum, can be viewed using a spectroscope and is key in identifying gemstones with Cr, like rubies (Figure Stage 2). Cr can also cause red fluorescence which, under daylight, adds to the intensity of the red color.</image:title>
      <image:caption>White light interacts with chromium in ruby, resulting in a characteristic absorption spectrum. See text for explanation of steps 1-4. After K Nassau</image:caption>

      <image:title>Treasure Trove - The Science Within Gems, Jewelry &amp; Beautiful Things - What Should You Know Before Buying Lab-Created Diamonds? - Lab-creation uses two methods: high pressure high temperature (HPHT); or carbon vapor deposition (CVD). Both processes create diamond rough in a matter of weeks. Once cut, they look just like any other diamond.</image:title>

      <image:title>Treasure Trove - The Science Within Gems, Jewelry &amp; Beautiful Things - What Should You Know Before Buying Lab-Created Diamonds? - Example GIA Laboratory Grown Diamond Report</image:title>
      <image:caption>This CVD grown diamond is clearly identified as such in the Comments Section, as is the post growth treatment this stone has undergone. Ask to see a Lab-report for any major lab-grown diamond. Check for method of growth and if there is any evidence of post-growth treatment. NOTE: GIA has recently changed it’s reporting of lab-grown diamonds. They no longer issue the same report, nor grade them the same as diamonds. In Europe, it is now recommended to use the term synthetic instead of lab-grown.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Treasure Trove - The Science Within Gems, Jewelry &amp; Beautiful Things - What Should You Know Before Buying Lab-Created Diamonds? - It is a myth that lab-grown gemstones are inclusion free</image:title>
      <image:caption>Research at GIA laboratories in Carlsbad, CA show that both HPHT and CVD diamonds have the same range of clarity grades as found in natural diamonds. This is also true of fancy colored stones.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Treasure Trove - The Science Within Gems, Jewelry &amp; Beautiful Things - What Should You Know Before Buying Lab-Created Diamonds? - Both Natural and Lab-grown diamonds have dropped in value recently</image:title>
      <image:caption>The long-term value of lab grown diamonds is uncertain at this time. That said, the price of many natural diamonds has also been declining over the last couple of years because demand is down. If you aren’t in the jewelry trade, focusing on resale value will take the joy out of purchasing a diamond. An example of the decline in natural diamond prices in 2022 from Rapaport News.</image:caption>
