Executive Summary By Charlotte Pero
Gemstone and jewelry trends are usually predicted by what is "hot" at the major gem shows held throughout the year in North America. Each year's forecasting cycle begins with the annual AGTA Gem Fair in Tucson. The 2010 Tucson show confirmed what most in the gem industry already knew - a slumping economy would make cost the decisive buying factor for retailers, consumers and wholesale loose gemstone buyers alike.

Popular top selling loose gemstones at Tucson were the predictable affordable gems such as Quartz, Topaz and Garnet. Dyed green Quartz, Tsavorite Garnet, green-colored Idocrase and heat-treated Amethyst are attractive and affordable gemstone jewelry choices for the "must have" eco-friendly look.


Tips For Buying Loose Gemstones
Executive Summary By Nitin K Singh
Gemstones are truly wonderful objects and choosing the right one can be a daunting task if you don't know what to look for. One set of gemstones, known as precious gemstones, is extremely expensive, but are simply amongst the best. The cut and color of these stones are extremely brilliant and in fact one of the best that you might find in the market.

The only thing is that their color might not be as rich and in fact, the texture and the cut of the stone might not really be on par with precious stones. Sometimes, people might go in for this only because they don't feel that the precious variety is worth the high price.

Most of the gemstones that are bought in the market today are natural gemstone. Regardless of what you choose, do buy from a trusted dealer. Good craftsmanship will ensure that you have a long lasting relationship with the gemstones.
