The Hardness Scale

Do you have a beautiful colored stone and wonder how durable it is? Or maybe you are thinking of getting a custom design made and want to know which stone is the best fit for you. The color of the stone is usually what plays a huge part for most people when picking a colored stone. We always recommend taking a stones hardness into consideration as well. Will you be wearing this ring everyday? Maybe a stone that scores 8 or higher will be a better fit for you. Rings tend to get the most wear and tear so a harder stone is the most economical in most cases. There are so many colored stones (way more than on this chart!) and the world is truly your oyster when creating a custom piece.
