Many gemstone aficionados are quite knowledgeable of the professional jewelers' jargon. The following are just a few examples. Click any of the terms below to elucidate the meanings behind them. If you wish to add a term and its definition, please visit the Add a Jeweler's Jargon page in order to contribute to our Jeweler's Jargon Dababase. Enjoy!
