Learn About Gemstones پتھروں کے بارے میں جانیں

Start with the basics if you are buying your first stone. Our guides to checking authenticity explain the simple tests that separate natural stone from glass, dye and synthetics, and our Urdu and English names list helps when a seller uses an unfamiliar name. The gemstone origins guide explains what labels such as Swat, Ceylon and Nishapuri can and cannot tell you, and the ring size guide shows how to measure at home.

For traditional stones, our Islamic gemstones guide covers aqeeq, Dur-e-Najaf and feroza, and the birthstone and zodiac guides set out the stones linked with each month and sign. Where a guide describes beliefs, we present them as tradition, never as a promise.

If a guide does not answer your question, message us on WhatsApp and a real person will reply.
