Antique finish - a dark background brings out the polished details. It is the most popular finish. Black antiquing is available for Valadium, Silver Select and White Gold only. Natural finish is as beautiful as the antique finish, but without the dark background. This option is lovely with more subtle detailing, and is available on 10Kt, 14Kt, and 18Kt gold.

This traditional finish provides contrast which accents the fine detail of your ring with a dark background. See similar questions...

Natural hormones are, in fact, bioidentical hormones. The fact that the bioidentical hormones come from natural plants (soy or yam plants) does not make them bioidentical. From there they are taken to a chemical plant where they are further processed into the bioidentical forms. They are further tested for bioidentical purity, so that when a compounding pharmacy receives these products they are ready to be compounded into different dosage forms. See similar questions...

We offer three main categories of finish: 1) South Sea 2) Rainbow 3) Single Color (also known as Kiska). The difference lies in the number of color and protective layers used in each finish. The South Sea finish is the same as usually found in pearls from the Caribbean area for example, and their main characteristic is their deep and thick color. The rainbow finish is more bright and shiny and the single color finish is as its name indicates: the simplest and hence the cheapest one. See similar questions...

The Satin finish is a matte finish and the easiest to maintain. Because it has a low sheen, it is very forgiving insofar as showing scratches, dents, and wear and tear over time. The Semi Gloss finish has some shine and is a little harder to maintain in that it will show scratches, dents and wear and tear sooner. The High Gloss finish is the hardest to maintain in that it shows everything - dust, dirt, scratches, dents, and wear and tear in general the quickest. See similar questions...

Turquoise is found in many semi-arid regions of the world. It has been a highly prized gemstone for thousands of years. All turquoise mines produce a wide range of quality and beauty. Only about 10% of the total turquoise production of any mine is the highest quality natural "high grade" (cost at $200 per pound and up). Another 30% to 40% is hard enough to use in good handmade jewelry. See similar questions...

The body naturally produces three main forms of estrogen: estrone (E1), estradiol (E2), and estriol (E3). Estrone is converted from estradiol in the liver. Synthesized in the ovaries and metabolized in the liver, estradiol is the most physiologically active form of estrogen. When taken orally, estradiol is converted into estrone in the small intestine. Estriol is the shortest-acting estrogen and has a weaker effect than estradiol and estrone. Estriol remains intact when supplemented orally, i.e. See similar questions...
