Stone Information

Traveling the globe, Janyl personally selects colorful semi-precious and precious stones and sets them in unique silver patterns to create an expression of the beauty she sees in everyday nature – inspired by colors and scenery that the average person does not notice. Recently, Janyl has added Cubic Zicornias (CZ) and unique forms of glass to her designs.

Following are common definitions for the various stones used in Sarda collections.
Lab CreatedGemstones created in a lab with exact chemical properties of their natural counterparts are termed lab created. Also know as synthetic stones, these stones are usually significantly less expensive than natural stones.
SimulantThe practice of simulating costly and precious objects with inexpensive substitutes has been traced back over 6,000 years ago in ancient Egypt. This practice continues today in simulating precious gemstones.
SyntheticSynthetic refers to a man-made material with a natural counterpart. The synthetic crystal replicates the chemical and physical properties of the natural crystal with little or no variation.
Cubic ZirconiaCZ is a lab created diamond stimulant. While CZ is a transparent stone, trace elements ca be added to the manufacturing process, producing a wide range of colors. On Mohs' scale of hardness, CZ is harder than other gemstones except for diamond, ruby sapphire and chrysoberyl. Some of the most popular CZs are manufactured in Russia.
