Permanent Connectors Natural Gemstone Baguette | 14K White

The amethyst, aquamarine, citrine, emerald, pink tourmaline and white topaz options are genuine, natural gemstones. Moissanite is a separate stone option and is not included in the natural-gemstone claim.

The Baguette connector is made in solid 14K white gold with attachment rings on both ends. The listed stone choices include amethyst, aquamarine, citrine, emerald, pink tourmaline, white topaz and moissanite; choose the stone shown in the selector.

The stone size is 5 × 3 mm. The overall size is 6 mm. The attachment uses 2.1 mm outer jump rings.

Gemstone options for this design are described below. Check your selected option and product details for the stone or stones included.

Amethyst

Amethyst is the purple variety of quartz. Its color can be uneven within a crystal, with lighter and darker zones, so the cutter’s choices influence how a finished stone looks from the front. It is a different material from purple sapphire or purple spinel, even when photographs show a similar shade.

Care: Use lukewarm water, a little mild soap, and gentle cleaning with a soft cloth or very soft brush if the setting permits. Rinse carefully and dry with a lint-free cloth. Avoid steam, high heat, sudden temperature changes, and extended intense light, which can affect some amethyst colors. Leave ultrasonic cleaning to a jeweler who has checked the stone and setting.

Aquamarine

Aquamarine is the greenish blue to blue variety of beryl, the same mineral family that includes emerald. Its usual pastel palette is different from the saturated color people often associate with blue sapphire or blue apatite. Pale color is not, by itself, evidence of a false stone.

Care: A gentle hand clean with lukewarm mild soapy water is a sensible starting point for an intact, suitable setting. Rinse and dry carefully. Avoid harsh chemicals, high heat, and abrupt temperature changes. Do not use an ultrasonic or steam cleaner at home when inclusions, treatments, or setting condition are unknown; ask a jeweler to assess the piece first.

Citrine

Citrine is the yellow to orange variety of quartz. It is related to purple amethyst, but it is not topaz. Their historic association and their shared November birthstone role can make the names confusing. A listing should identify the actual material rather than use golden color as a stand-in for mineral identity.

Care: Use lukewarm water with a small amount of mild soap, then rinse and dry gently when the setting allows. Avoid steam, high heat, sudden temperature changes, and extended intense light. A jeweler should check the stone and setting before any ultrasonic cleaning, especially if fractures or filling are possible.

Emerald

Emerald is the green to bluish green variety of beryl. Aquamarine belongs to the same mineral family, but its blue palette and typical appearance are different. Very light green beryl may be described as green beryl rather than emerald; the boundary is a gemological classification question, not something a photograph alone can settle.

Care: For routine care, wipe gently with a soft cloth. When the piece’s instructions permit, clean briefly with lukewarm mild soapy water and a very soft brush, then rinse and dry carefully. Avoid prolonged soaking, steam, ultrasonic cleaning, solvents, and high heat, especially when filling or fracture condition is unknown.

Moissanite

Moissanite is silicon carbide. Natural moissanite is rare, and jewelry moissanite is generally laboratory-created. Diamond is crystalline carbon, whether natural or laboratory-grown. The word laboratory-grown describes origin; it does not make two different materials the same gem. See the product details for this piece’s stone, setting, and any disclosed treatments.

Care: A gentle hand clean with lukewarm mild soapy water is a useful routine for an intact piece whose other components permit it. Rinse and dry carefully to remove soap residue. Avoid abrasive powders and harsh household chemicals, and have a jeweler assess settings and any coatings before ultrasonic or steam cleaning.

Tourmaline

Tourmaline is a group of related minerals that appears in a broad range of gem colors. Some crystals contain more than one color, and a cutter may preserve that zoning in a single stone. A multicolor jewel can also combine separate stones of different colors; those are two different design approaches.

Care: Use gentle lukewarm mild-soap hand cleaning when appropriate to the full piece, followed by careful rinsing and drying. Avoid ultrasonic and steam cleaners, high heat, and sudden temperature changes. Treatment and internal features may call for additional care, so ask before using stronger methods.

Topaz

Topaz is its own mineral, not a kind of quartz. Citrine is quartz; aquamarine is beryl. Similar yellow or blue colors do not make these materials identical. White topaz is colorless topaz, not diamond, and should be described by its own name rather than only as a white stone.

Care: Clean gently by hand with lukewarm mild soapy water if the mounting permits, then rinse and dry carefully. Avoid ultrasonic and steam cleaners, high heat, sudden temperature changes, and hard impacts. For coated stones, avoid abrasive rubbing and polishing that could damage the surface layer.
