Designer jewelers are creative and artistic people who revel in designing fabulous designer jewelry, including gemstone jewelry and designer diamond jewelry. If you have a wedding or anniversary coming up, a piece of designer jewelry is the perfect way to mark the special event.

There are some basics about jewelry that you will want to become familiar with before you shop for designer diamond jewelry in order to make an informed purchase. Gemstones including diamonds are sold loose or mounted. Many times designer rings, for example, will be sold as mounted or a semi-mounted. Mounted means that the stone is put in place on the mount, and these are the types of rings that you typically will see if you visit a designer jewelers store in person. Semi mounts describe the metal ring and the mount, but with no stones, such as colored diamonds, attached. Being able to choose the gemstone of your choice is the advantage that comes from selecting a semi mount.

A jewelry designer will also spend a great deal of time considering which shape of the gemstone is most appropriate for the overall design style. Some gemstones can look lovely as they naturally are, while others, such as colored diamonds, look best when they are cut to bring out the brilliance of the diamond. However, if you have selected a favorite semi mount, you can also make the decision about the gemstone's shape on your own. You might select from round, princess, emerald, asscher, oval, marquise, pear, radiant, cushion or heart shapes. The shape you pick can make a difference as to the appearance and brilliance, even fire, of a diamond, but ultimately the best shape for your gemstone is the one that satisfies your personal taste.

Designer jewelers work their magic on rings, watches, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, cuff links and many other types of jewelry. There is a jewelry designer focusing on every area of specialization in terms of jewelry styles, so that you are sure to find what will make you happy. You might decide on a jewelry designer who is known for how he or she works with diamonds, or you might try colored stones for a bright look. Gemstone jewelry can feature the glorious deep colors of red or green that come with Alexandrite color stones, the surprising blue and contrasting white of a Blue Star Sapphire, the sparkling white of classic pearls, the intense blue and violet of Tanzanite, the exquisite green of Emerald, golden Citrine, royal red Ruby, or the purple and violets visible in a beautiful Amethyst. No matter which are your favorites, you are sure to find jewelry crafted by master designers that will fill your needs as well as wants to remember your special day.
