Nothing sparkles like a diamond, whose hardness tops the mohs scale at 10 to make it a uniquely durable stone as well. Sharp tips/corners, like those on princess or marquise cut diamonds, are still susceptible to chipping, so be sure your diamond setting securely protects the tips.

To maintain your diamond's sparkle, you'll want to take regular steps to keep it clean: try not to handle it excessively, as natural oils as well as lotions can collect dirt and other materials.To clean slight buildup, apply a mixture of mild dishwashing soap and water with a soft toothbrush, scrubbing gently.

Emeralds are comparatively soft gemstones, rating a 7.5 - 8 on the Mohs hardness scale (compare with diamonds at 10), and are expected to contain visible inclusions that make them susceptible to fragmentation under intense heat or vibration. As such, your Emerald jewelry will require care in setting and handling to avoid chips and scratches.

Those with a June birthday can claim this unique gemstone, the only one made from a living organism, as their birthstone. Most pearls are composed of a material called nacre, built up within an oyster's shell to protect the oyster from sand grains or other irritants. Because of their composition, pearls require special care and handling relative to other gemstones.

The pale green peridot is best known as the birthstone for August. Known also as chrysolite--or olivine in its raw natural form--the peridot once adorned ancient Egyptian royalty, and has been both found and worn around the world ever since. You'll most often find peridot in areas of high volcanic activity, and in Hawaii the peridot symbolizes the tears of fire and volcano goddess Hele.
