This is a diamond, gemstone and jewelry dictionary. It consists of information that covers just about every area of the jewelry industry. It is my goal to define the words in this dictionary in a non-technical way whenever possible. I want to talk with you not at you. I want this to be a pleasant experience for you and to give you a better understanding of the terminology of my world. If there are words that you heard used in the jewelry business and they are not defined here, please let me know. I will gladly include them. Once again remember, this site is for you.
