Our customers purchase loose stones for two main reasons: they want to make their own jewellery or they wish to have a special piece custom-made by a jeweller.
Loose gemstones can be either natural or genuine. Natural stones are not treated and are offered for sale in the same state as they come out of the ground, except for the fact they're cut. Genuine stones are those that have been treated to enhance their characteristics either through heat, radiation or oiling/waxing. Needless to say, natural gemstones with exceptional color or clarity tend to be more expensive.
The advantage to choosing a loose stone, of course, is that the selection is better and you can get exactly what you want in terms of colour and clarity.
Here at Diamond Rocks we offer a wide selection of loose gemstones, including sapphires, rubies, diamonds and emeralds. We also offer setting services locally in the U.K. Let us help you make your vision come true.
