Hardness gemstones in jewelry
Do you also love gemstones in jewelry? I love using them in my handmade jewelry . Of course because of the beautiful colors, but also because of the beautiful symbolism that gemstones have.

hydroquartz
Hydro quartz is not a true gemstone . Nevertheless, I have included hydro quartz in this list because it is often thought that it is a gemstone and it is likely that you ended up on this page.
Hydro quartz is made with great care and attention. According to a precise process so that the end result very closely approaches the looks of real gemstones. Real gemstones do not all have the exact same shape and size. This is also the case with hydroquartz. The stones look beautiful, as if they were hand cut. The processing of hydro quartz is expensive and that is reflected in this beautiful imitation stone.
So if you were looking for the 'looks' of an expensive gemstone, hydroquarts are a perfect alternative to the much more expensive real gemstones.
