The expert spoke about the best semi-precious stones

Semi-precious stones can be a good alternative to precious stones. About this on September 16, "Gazeta.Ru", said Nina Sergeeva, Commercial Director for Sunlight stone purchases.

"Topaz is one of the most popular semi—precious stones, characterized by unusual shades. <...> Jewelry with topaz can look very elegant and stylish, while their price is significantly lower than that of precious stones," the expert explained.

She also said that amethyst is a purple variety of quartz. Mystical properties are attributed to this stone. Depending on the color and shade, it will look great in jewelry made of white and yellow metals.

Sergeeva also selected garnet and tanzanite from inexpensive stones.

Garnet has a rich red color and comes in various shades — from bright red to almost black. Tanzanite is a stone that was discovered just a few decades ago in Tanzania. However, it quickly gained popularity due to its unique blue-purple shades, according to the expert.

Earlier, on September 14, expert Elena Rakutina revealed the secrets of the perfect combination of metals and stones. She said that bold experiments with the combination of various stones and metals are popular today, but improper combination can lead to damage to jewelry.
