by JewelStruck on Dec.03, 2009, under GEMS
Here comes our first announcement for December month. Considering suggestions by all of you, we have chosen Ruby for Gemstone Each Month Series this month. We had options of choosing a birthstone again too, but we wanted to contribute towards the fight against HIV/AIDS. As december is HIV/AIDS awareness month, and its been symbolized with RED. Chossing ruby for GEMS December made only sense. HOPE you will help us spread the word :-)

Some quick facts about ruby :-
- A ruby is a pink to blood-red gemstone, a variety of the mineral corundum (aluminium oxide).

The Benefits of Online Jewelry Shopping
by Joy Jewlr on Dec.02, 2009, under News & Events
Sometimes we just don’t have the time to commute to a mall and browse stores from top to bottom; and when we do have the time, we are often faced with unbearable crowds and overpriced parking. Sometimes shopping for that perfect gift can be a royal pain in the behind.
For these reasons and more, millions of consumers have turned to online shopping for both a more time and cost effective shopping experience. Not only does online shopping save you from parking lot frustration and sardine-in-a-can crowds, it’s easy, affordable, and best of all you can shop from the comfort of your home.
The majority of online shoppers want to ensure that their information is secure while embarking on a fun and user-friendly shopping experience. When it comes to online jewelry shopping, it’s natural for some skepticism to arise in regard to quality and accuracy of what your chosen piece will actually look like.
Fortunately, skepticism can be put at ease thanks to several online technological advancements. Many online jewelry stores, such as Jewlr.com, are proving to be a secure and trusted way to shop. Due to Jewlr’s creative visual-wizards, secure payment system, and high quality manufacturing the result is simply happy and satisfied customers. Not only does Jewlr provide an instant shot of what your personalized item will look like, but it provides a simple ring sizer tool, which you can use to determine your ring size if you do not already know it.
It’s safe to say that online jewelry shopping has come a long way to satisfy us savvy-shoppers. Not only do we avoid the lines, crowds, and extra costs (i.e. parking etc), we get our goods delivered straight to our door ;) Now that’s what I call shopping!

GEMS November – How to Care for Citrine
by JewelStruck on Nov.30, 2009, under GEMS
Its 30th November and today is last day of our Gemstone each month series (GEMS) for Citrine. We have explored a lot about citrine in past few days. Just to recap, here are links to some interesting posts on citrine again.
- General info about citrine and GEMS
- Citrine mines and types of citrine.
- The history behind citrine.
- Metaphysical and healing properties of citrine
- Awesome Jewelry pieces made using citrine (1,2,3 & 4)
Citrine Dream Bracelet
Our last post on this series is on ‘How to care for citrine’. Your citrine could last for generations if you take care of it in the right way.
- Although citrine is pretty good at standing up to your normal everyday wear and tear, it must be shielded from any type of situation where it could be scratched or hit.
- Because of its sensitivity to heat, its recommended for a citrine not to be left in the sun or where it could be exposed to prolonged sunlight or heat. The stone’s color might change and fade into a lighter color in that case.
- Any commercial jewelry cleaner or plain soap and warm water can be used to wash your citrine. Steam cleaning is not recommended but you may have the stone cleaned in an ultrasonic cleaner.
So thats all we had to say about citrine, if you think we missed anything in this series, please feel free to comment.
We would be deciding our december Gemstone soon :-), any recommendations? please comment or email us at info@jewelstruck.com
