It
is crucial to understand that some gemstones, no matter how gorgeous should be
avoided for engagement rings and other jewelry for daily wear, as they are soft
and can get damaged easily.
These
gemstones measure 7 or lower on the Mohs scale for durability, and with regular
wear are prone to get damaged and dull. It
is safer to opt for tougher gemstones for exceptional engagement
rings in Pittsburgh, PA, and at other locations.
Tanzanite
Tanzanite
is stunning and gorgeous when set into creative designs, and can be worn,
however infrequently. Measuring a low 6 to 6.5 on the Mohs scale for
durability, tanzanite is suitable only for occasional wear and not constantly.
Tanzanite can be replaced with blue or violet spinel, which is far more durable
and can be worn regularly without too much damage to the stone.
Opal
Opal
is soft and measures lower than tanzanite at 5 to 5.6 on the Mohs scale, which
makes it extremely vulnerable to damage. It may be worn, rather infrequently;
however, it should be stored properly when not in use. Opal engagement rings
can be replaced by star sapphires, which are just as stunning and gorgeous, and
a reputable jewelry store in Pittsburgh, PA, should
be able to sell high-grade star sapphires on demand.
Morganite
These
stunning gemstones appear to be clear, and with very few inclusions, which are
usually not visible by the naked eye. Morganite collects dirt and grease and it
shows immediately on the gemstones, as it gets dull. Moisturizers and makeup
are full of chemicals and oil, which will show instantly.
For
engagement rings and wedding bands, diamonds
in Pittsburgh, PA are possibly a better option, in regards to the durability
of the gemstones.
