What is a Gemstone & Precious Metal
A gemstone is the name given to a piece of mineral (or other rock or organic material) that after it has been cut and polished has been made into a piece of jewelry or another accessory. Any gemstone, other than diamond, is a colored stone and all gems are formed deep in the mantle of the earth. Three important traits can categorize a gemstone: beauty, rarity and durability. The three precious metals used most often in jewelry are gold, platinum and silver as they share the qualities of allure, workability durability and rarity. Gemstones and metals are essential to Kaina Jewels and each gemstone has been handpicked from different parts of the world to create a Kaina original.

4 Cs of Diamond

Diamond is made of carbon and is the hardest natural mineral on earth, and forms over 90kms deep in the mantle of the earth under very high temperatures and pressure.  The name diamond is derived from the ancient Geek adamas, which means “proper”, “unalterable”, “and unbreakable”.  The first Diamonds were found in Golconda, India, in 800 BC.
