Jewelry supplies wholesaler Rings & Things announces its new online Gemstone Beads Index. With 170 listings, it promises to be one of the most comprehensive gemstone resources on the Web. The index is tailored toward jewelry crafters, and the information is specific to beads, unlike mineral Web sites. The alphabetical listings follow an easy-to-read format, and a color picture accompanies each stone name. Direct links to the company’s online store from each entry make shopping simple and fun, encouraging artists to mix some new stones in with their familiar favorites. Gemstone descriptions include:

Honest details about enhancements/synthetics “Also known as” names Chemical composition History Trivia Care recommendations Origin of the stone’s name Metaphysical properties Industry practices Countries where the stone is found

A Rings & Things spokeswoman said the company established this index to fill a void in the industry, where commonly enhanced gemstones often go unacknowledged and jewelry artists miss out on the fascinating background of their beads. The company’s enthusiasm for gemstones radiates throughout each entry and has led to the tripling of its gemstone line over the past year. In addition, Rings & Things has begun directly importing these beads from China at exceptional savings, which it has passed along to customers with price cuts of as much as 70%.
