J. August Jewelry Consignment offers information and useful Web site links to help you shop for or learn more about the world of diamonds, rubies, emeralds, sapphires and other colored gemstones.

A gemstone is the naturally occurring crystalline form of a mineral, which is desirable for its beauty, valuable in its rarity and durable enough to be enjoyed for generations.

There are more than 40 popular gem varieties and many more rare collector gemstones. Although some gemstone varieties have been treasured since before history began and others were only discovered recently, they are all nature's gifts to us.

Visit the International Colored Gemstone Association's "Gem by Gem" list of the world's most fascinating gemstone varieties.

You've heard about the 4 C's of diamonds, but do you know what they are? The Gemological Institute of America will give you a crash course in this universal grading system, which it developed in the 1940s and '50s to objectively compare and evaluate diamonds.

The American Museum of Natural History also has some valuable information about the origins, history and mining of diamonds.
