[himalyaquartz05]

Gems are minerals, rocks, or organic materials that have been popular for their beauty, durability, and rarity. Gems are used in polished to make jewelry or other human decorations. Most of the gems are hard, and some are too soft or can not be used in jewelry, so they are often displayed in museums. Basically, gems are made from minerals; There are some exceptions, however, called organics. Pearls and amber are made by organic processes. That's why they are called Organics gem.

How to select and buy a natural ruby?

Ruby, a red variety of the mineral corundum, is one of the most durable gemstones, with a hardness rating of nine. Ruby is always red but depending on the depth of its color and the overall quality, it varies widely. To choose a good-quality natural manik stone, you should consider the color, clarity, and cut of Ruby. So, to have the immense benefits of wearing Ruby, you need to buy Ruby from a reputed shop like Brahma Gems.

How to read a gemstone certificate?

A gemstone certificate is required to confirm the quality and the authenticity of a gemstone like Ruby. The certificate is a blueprint of the stone, detailing all its key attributes. While you are buying natural gemstones from online platforms like Brahma Gems, you will get a gemstone certificate. Some abbreviations to read a gemstone certificate:

N: Natural gemstone.

E: Enhanced gemstone using treatments like heat treating for Rubies.

I: Used a non-traditional enhancement.

B: Lightened the gemstone.

C: The gemstone is coated with a substance to achieve the desired effect.

G: Gemstone, treated with gamma or electron shower.

In a certificate, you will find details about the internal characteristics and color of the gemstone. As an indicator of the quality of the cut, you may see the length to width expressed as a ratio. A typical gemstone report will have the following elements:

What carat weight should we wear?

Buy a Ruby with a weight between 3 and 6 carats embedded in gold or silver for maximum benefits. Wear the stone on Shukla Paksha. You will experience the benefits of Ruby after thirty days of wearing it. Whose Sun is affected by maleficent planets is recommended to wear Ruby. People who aspire to progress in their lives, irrespective of any field, should wear a Ruby consulting an astrologer.

How to wear Ruby?

Wear a red colored dress as it is the color of the Sun as a part of the procedures of wearing the gemstone. The natural ruby gemstone should be embedded in the ring in a way that the gem touches the finger. You should wear Ruby on a Sunday morning between 5 am to 6 am. In the morning, dip it in Ganga water to wash away all the negativity, burn the incense stick and pray to God Sun to have his blessings. With concentration, recite mantras and the intent for your wish. Now, wear the ring on the ring finger of your right hand.

You can recite any mantra which reveres Lord Sun before wearing Ruby. Chant for 108 times: “ Om Suryay Namah.” Ruby affects a person for four years. Always buy the gemstone from a reliable and certified source like Brahma Gems.

A person with a weak Sun faces problems like blood pressure, irregular heartbeat, and more. Natural Ruby is the gemstone of Lord Sun that brings authority and dignity, in other words, good decision-making power. One of the striking effects of Ruby is that it clears the mind, makes it sharp, and dissolves any confusion. It helps the wearer progress in self-awareness and helps him or her to realize the truth. Brahma Gems, a provider of real original natural gemstones, will deliver you genuine Ruby with a certificate to prove its authenticity.

Can't afford art school?

After seeing post like this 👇

And this gem 👇

As well as countless of others from the AI generator community. Just talking about how "inaccessible art" is, I decided why not show how wrong these guys are while also helping anyone who actually wants to learn.

Here is the first one ART TEACHERS! There are plenty online and in places like youtube.

📺Here is my list:

Proko (Free, mostly teaches anatomy and how to draw people. But does have art talks and teaches the basics.)

Marc Brunet (Free but he does have other classes for a cheap price. Use to work for Blizzard and teaches you everything)

Aaron Rutten (free, tips about art, talks about art programs and the best products for digital art)

BoroCG (free, teaches a verity of art mediums from 3D modeling to digital painting. As well as some tips that can be used across styles)

Jesse J. Jones (free, talks about animating)

Jesus Conde (free, teaches digital painting and has classes in Spanish)

Mohammed Agbadi (free, he gives some advice in some videos and talks about art)

Ross Draws (free, he does have other classes for a good price. Mostly teaching character designs and simple backgrounds.)

SamDoesArts (free, gives good advice and critiques)

Drawfee Show (free, they do give some good advice and great inspiration)

The Art of Aaron Blaise ( useful tips for digital art and animation. Was an animator for Disney. Mostly nature art)

Bobby Chiu ( useful tips and interviews with artist who are in the industry or making a living as artist)

Sinix Design (has some tips on drawing people)

Winged canvas (art school for free on a verity of mediums)

Bob Ross (just a good time, learn how to paint, as well as how too relax when doing art. "there are no mistakes only happy accidents", this channel also provides tips from another artist)

Scott Christian Sava (Inspiration and provides tips and advice)

Pikat (art advice and critiques)

Drawbox (a suggested cheap online art school, made of a community of artist)

Skillshare (A cheap learning site that has art classes ranging from traditional to digital. As well as Animation and tutorials on art programs. All under one price, in the USA it's around $34 a month)

Human anatomy for artist (not a video or teacher but the site is full of awesome refs to practice and get better at anatomy)

Second part BOOKS, I have collected some books that have helped me and might help others.

📚Here is my list:

The "how to draw manga" series produced by Graphic-sha. These are for manga artist but they give great advice and information.

"Creating characters with personality" by Tom Bancroft. A great book that can help not just people who draw cartoons but also realistic ones. As it helps you with facial ques and how to make a character interesting.

"Albinus on anatomy" by Robert Beverly Hale and Terence Coyle. Great book to help someone learn basic anatomy.

"Artistic Anatomy" by Dr. Paul Richer and Robert Beverly Hale. A good book if you want to go further in-depth with anatomy.

"Directing the story" by Francis Glebas. A good book if you want to Story board or make comics.

"Animal Anatomy for Artists" by Eliot Goldfinger. A good book for if you want to draw animals or creatures.

"Constructive Anatomy: with almost 500 illustrations" by George B. Bridgman. A great book to help you block out shadows in your figures and see them in a more 3 diamantine way.

"Dynamic Anatomy: Revised and expand" by Burne Hogarth. A book that shows how to block out shapes and easily understand what you are looking out. When it comes to human subjects.

"An Atlas of animal anatomy for artist" by W. Ellenberger and H. Dittrich and H. Baum. This is another good one for people who want to draw animals or creatures.

Etherington Brothers, they make books and have a free blog with art tips.

📝As for Supplies, I recommend starting out cheap, buying Pencils and art paper at dollar tree or 5 below. If you want to go fancy Michaels is always a good place for traditional supplies. They also get in some good sales and discounts. For digital art, I recommend not starting with a screen art drawing tablet as they are usually more expensive.

For the Best art Tablet I recommend either Xp-pen, Bamboo or Huion. Some can range from about 40$ to the thousands.

💻As for art programs here is a list of Free to pay.

Clip Studio paint ( you can choose to pay once or sub and get updates. Galaxy, Windows, macOS, iPad, iPhone, Android, or Chromebook device. )

Procreate ( pay once for $9.99 usd, IPAD & IPHONE ONLY)

Blender (for 3D modules/sculpting, animation and more. Free)

PaintTool SAI (pay but has a 31 day free trail)

Krita (Free)

mypaint (free)

FireAlpaca (free)

Aseprite ($19.99 usd but has a free trail, for pixel art Windows & macOS)

Drawpile (free and for if you want to draw with others)

IbisPaint (free, phone app ONLY)

Medibang (free, IPAD, Android and PC)

NOTE: Some of these can work on almost any computer like Clip and Sai but others will require a bit stronger computer like Blender. Please check their sites for if your computer is compatible.

So do with this information as you will but as you can tell there are ways to learn how to become an artist, without breaking the bank. The only thing that might be stopping YOU from using any of these things, is YOU.

I have made time to learn to draw and many artist have too. Either in-between working two jobs or taking care of your family and a job or regular school and chores. YOU just have to take the time or use some time management, it really doesn't take long to practice for like an hour or less. YOU also don't have to do it every day, just once or three times a week is fine.

Hope this was helpful and have a great day.

How To Buy The Best Quality Natural Gemstones?

Buying a natural gemstone is not as easy as it looks. Determining the quality of a gemstone is one of the most important things customers must do before buying a gemstone.

The appearance of colored gemstones is a combination of many separate factors, each of which is related to, and affected by, the others.

While there are no officially accepted systems for grading colored gemstones, these are certain criteria taken into consideration when determining the quality of a natural gemstone.

To determine the quality of colored gemstones, experts rely on four criteria: Color, Cut, Clarity, and Carat.

1. Color

The appearance of a colored gem is a combination of many separate factors, each of which is related to, and affected by, the others.

Look for stones that look good even under the low lighting conditions you find in the evening or in a restaurant, for these are typically the conditions under which fine gems are worn and viewed.

Color is the most important factor in determining quality and Gemologists usually describe gem color by referring to three properties:

Hue position

The basic hues are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet, and purple. Black, white, and brown refer to tones and saturation, not hues.

Saturation

A gem’s saturation refers to the intensity of its hue. Colours can be strong or soft.

Tone

A gem’s tone refers to a gem’s relative lightness or darkness. Black and white are tones, from darkest to lightest.

2. Cut

Even the most exquisite of gemstones, when excavated, are rough and comparatively unattractive. A gemstone requires cleaning and cutting to gain a resplendent form.

A stone cut into a variety of square facets with regular spaces around is known as Checkerboard cut. It is common in garnets, topaz, citrines and amethysts or other semi-precious stones.

Characterised by a rounded top and flat bottom 'Cabochon cut' is common in gems like star sapphire, cat's eye gemstones, tiger's eye gemstones, star gemstones and star ruby.

Rose Cut is one of the varieties of cabochon cut where flat facets are polished into the curved area of cabochon cut stone.

3. Clarity

Gemstones contain a wide variety of inclusions. In case of the faceted gems, inclusions are that will interfere with the free passage of light through th. These can include little bits of minerals, hollow areas, and fractures. Clarity grading addresses the visual and structural impact of these things.

Clarity can be judged by reference to the overall inclusions. Magnification can be used to locate inclusions, but with the exception of inclusions which might impact durability, only those visible to the naked eye should be considered in the final grade.

They may look beautiful at the first glance, but fractures and veils go deeper into the gem. Pay special attention to these inclusions. They are considered a weakness in the gemstone, which may be prone to breakage.

4. Carat

A carat is a unit for measuring the weight of a gemstone. One carat equals 1/5 of a gram, or 200 milligrams. However, neither weight nor size determines the value of any gem.

Everything else being appropriate, the larger the gemstone, the more valuable it is. For example, fine quality rubies weighing over one carat are very rare and thus more valuable.

In most gemstones, per-carat prices tend to increase with carat weight. You can expect steep increases in the price per carat at the one, three, five, and ten-carat levels.

Feel the real value of Loose Emerald

Interesting History of Emerald

Emerald has a very close relation to Egyptians. The first emerald was mined by Ancient Egyptians in around 1500 B.C. Cleopatra (A queen of Egypt) also loved emeralds. It depicts rebirth. For that reason, Mummies were buried with emeralds. But the fun fact is that 50% of emeralds attain from Colombia.

We can find that loose emeralds also belong to Navratna (Nine Gems). Green Gem is a birthstone of May month. Aries, Gemini, Taurus, and Libra Zodiacs are connected with this stone. It also has a connection with Mythology. According to Roman Mythology, It is linked with Goddess Venus (Goddess of love, sex, and luster). In Hindu Purana, it is allied with Lord Buddha and Lord Vishnu.  Ancient Egyptians used it for their eternal youth. Emeralds have much history, but their beauty is beyond saga.

Benefits of Loose Emeralds

When we talk about precious stones, Emerald is one of them. There are mainly four types of unpriced stones; Ruby, Emerald, Diamond, and Sapphire. Every type of gemstone implant some beneficial Health as well as Wealth qualities.

 Emerald gives us many advantages in different aspects.

It boosts the creative side of the brain.

Another facet of loose emerald is Finance.

These days, many people are suffered from heart and kidney diseases. Emeralds protect us from these types of diseases with their amazing healing properties. If you go to the doctor (God Forbid), then the doctor does not recommend emerald for heart and kidney disease. He will suggest some kinds of tablets. But beautiful invaluable emerald works on the behalf of the belief system.

You know that “Emerald is the stone for successful love”. And Goddess Venus is the best example. This green gem helps to sustain our love life. It is also considered an anniversary stone. On the 55th of the anniversary, it is given as a gift in America.

 Hue of Emerald

Alike the other gemstone’s green color, Emerald has the most glamorous color which is purist green. It is also found in yellowish and bluish complexion. There are almost 37 types of tones and saturation of loose emeralds.

A few Chrome diopside and Chrome Tourmaline are gemstones that almost look like emeralds. Due to lack of luminous coloration and intensity, green sapphire, peridot, and green zircon can’t beat emerald.

Where to buy Emerald at Wholesale price?

You have known some amazing historical facts, benefits & colors of loose emeralds. Now next comes to our mind who offers natural Zambian and Brazilian emeralds? I am going to solve this problem…

Chordia Jewels (one of the best Jewellery wholesalers) deal in different kinds of precious and semi-precious loose stones and gemstone jewelry. The sale is only 100% authentic and rare earth-mined gemstones. You can buy gems like Ruby, Diamonds, Tanzanite, Tourmaline, and loose emeralds for sale at wholesale price. I think it is a plus point for customers. They have their official website. And also work on online platforms like Etsy, e-Bay, and Amazon also. As a customer or jewelry lovers, we need some of these kinds of platforms. I love one thing in the team of Chordia Jewels is that they offer jewelry with stories and emotions. Emotions and lovely memories make jewelry ten times better. Now it’s a great platform for natural Tanzanite, Rubies, Sapphires, Black Diamonds, and Loose Emeralds for Sale.
