Baguette cutting is a special type of cutting precious stones. Its shape is a narrow rectangular with a distinct, elongated board around which two rows of elongated facets are arranged in phases. This shape was developed in 1925 and first was used only for diamonds; then was used for other stones as well. The baguette cut is particularly suitable for transparent stones.

A chain of scheè consists of numerous ball-shaped elements that have been threaded on a thread. If individual spheres are made of metal, they are usually hollow. Solid stone balls, pierced with a hole to accept wire thread, can also create beautiful effects.

The band is the most important part of a finger ring. It is the circle that surrounds the finger and therefore embodies the fundamental shape of the ring. The band of a ring can be flat or rounded. It is usually equipped with a head on which, for example, settings for diamonds or colored stones can be affixed.

Not all oysters produce a perfectly spherical cultured pearl. Just the opposite: most pearls do not develop into flawless spheres. When growing in various directions and unusual shapes, they are called "baroque" or "out of shape" pearls. Depending on their specific shape, some of these pearls can be in high demand because they can be transformed into unique pieces of jewelry.

The bayonet closure is a safe and innovative closure for miners. A clasp, which often serves as an ornamental centerpiece, has small holes with hinges on two of its sides. These holes accept poles that are attached to each end of the necklace. The poles are inserted into the holes, then a twist is given to lock them in place. This principle allows you to wear the same closure with different necklaces, or to adorn a necklace with any of the different different centerpieces.

The word "beryl" is used to describe a group of minerals whose members can occur in a variety of colors. If a beryl is green, it is called emerald. If it is blue, it is known as aquamarine. The family also includes the golden beryl, which is yellow in color, the eliodor, which has a greenish-yellow hue and the morganite, which is pink. Other color variants are known as "noble beryl". During the Middle Ages, aquamarines were finely polished and inserted into the panoramic windows of reliquaries, where they served as lenses to magnify the contents of the container. This practice led to the use of beryl as a visual aid in the fourteenth century. The German word for glasses comes from the word "beryl.

Bicolor is the term used for a combination of two shades of gold. The combination of yellowand white gold, which creates beautiful color games and design accents, is a particularly common two-tone. Other tones can also be combined, such as red gold and white gold.

Since classical antiquity, the belief that there is a relationship between particular precious stones and certain zodiac signs led people to assign particular minerals to each sign of the zodiac. + It is believed infact, that the stone associated with each sign has a positive and strengthening effect on people who were born under the corresponding sign. Aries (March 21 – April 20) - red jasper, carneol. Taurus (April 21 – May 20) - carneol, rose quartz. Gemini (May 21 - June 21) - citrine, tiger's eye. Cancer (June 22 - July 22) - crysoprase, aventurina. Leo (July 23 – August 23) - rock crystal, gold quartz. Virgo (August 24 - September 23) - citrine, yellow agate. Libra (September 24 - October 23) - orange citrin, smoked quartz.

The word French "bouton" means "button". A bouton pearl has the shape of a button, that is, it is round and somewhat flattened. Portable oysters do not necessarily produce perfectly spherical pearls. Much more frequently, oysters produce oval or irregularly shaped pearls. The latter are known as "baroque pearls". In addition to the classic spherical shape, pearls in other symmetrical shapes (e.g. bouton pearls) are also sought.

The woven chain derives its name from its characteristic appearance. These chains look like meticulously combed hair braids. Their individual elements intertwine alternately and very closely, creating a symmetrical appearance.

When a diamond is cut with the brilliant cut, it is referred to as a "brilliant"; it was invented in 1910 as a further development of the old cut. The brilliant cut is considered the perfect cut for diamonds because it optimally shows their intrinsic focus and brightness. The proportions of a brilliant are precisely defined:seen from the side, a brilliant looks like two octagonal pyramids facing each other. Seen from above, the stone appears round. The upper side has at least 32 facets arranged at precisely defined angles around the table. The lower part has at least 24 facets. The word "brilliant" can only be used for round diamonds that have been given the brilliant cut.

The word "brilliance" comes from the verb French "briller", which means "to shine". Brilliance describes the brightness of a gemstone, i.e. the overall effects of reflected light emerging from the surface of the stone. The brilliance depends on the reflection of the incident light, which, in turn, depends on the refractive index of the stone and the consistency of the surface of the stone, but is independent of the color of the stone. The higher the refraction, the stronger the glow. The diamonds are cut with the aim of achieving the ideal state of complete and total upward reflection of all incident light.
