Most people begin working in jewelry silver, which is much cheaper than gold and easily available through any good jewelry making suppliers. A silver frame can complement perfectly almost all gemstones, rocks, and some lend themselves to the money in a way not possible with gold. One of the most common semi-precious gemstones used in the jewelry making turquoise is - a vibrant blue semi precious stone that works great with the silver. Although you can not have the sparkle of a sapphire, turquoise, has its own depth and heat and is particularly good in brooches, earrings and rings. Turquoise also has a lot of spiritual connections and has been used in many ancient cultures as a symbol of water, so if you want to add an extra dimension to your jewelry and a hidden meaning behind the inclusion of this stone, turquoise is a perfect choice. If you prefer a deeper tone, lapis lazuli is one of the most precious of all semi precious blue.

Despite the best stones are still expensive, low quality emeralds can be much more cheaper than you think, but if your budget does not stretch to a stone then there are cheaper alternatives such as peridot. This semi-precious stone is paler color that the emerald, but is very popular and works particularly well in most modern designs. Most peridot are quite small, making them ideal for multiple configuration options, such as pins or pendants, but can be difficult to use in a wider environment, single as a ring due to the size of the stone.

If you are looking for a more golden jewelry, tibia, silver jewelry orange works particularly well with amber. Although technically not a precious stone, amber has been prized for centuries - the Czars of Russia, even an entire room decorated in amber! It may be a little tricky to work with because is very soft and easily damaged, but the results are worth the extra effort. Translucent Amber gives a depth and richness that can enhance any design, whether traditional or modern. Baltic amber is the most precious, but the Middle East ranges golden amber honey deep blood red.
