Nano Gems

Nano Crystals are a type of created gemstone made especially for jewelry. The color is homogeneous, meaning that if you bought 100 emerald green nano gemstones, the color would be exactly the same in every stone.

Nano Gems are safe to fire up to 1675°F / 913°C on an open shelf in silver clay, with the exception of the Dark Orange and Orange, which can safely be fired up to 1650°F / 899°C on an open shelf in silver clay. Torch firing is safe for stones 4mm or smaller.

It is very important to fire with an azure, or a hole for light to pass through, behind the gem. The size of the azure should be slightly smaller than the size of the stone. For example, a 4mm stone would benefit from a 3.5mm or 4mm hole. Without an azure, Nano Gems can change color, get muddy or lose luster.

    Love the Nano Asscher cut

    "Love the Nano Asscher cut stones. I’m using this beautiful Rhodolite in an EZ960 Sterling project."

    Nano Gem - Beautiful Color and Flash

    "I purchased several colors of the Asscher cut of Nano Gems (this one is Rhodolite), and they all exceeded my expectation. I design in Silver, so if I set a stone, I usually set CZs or other manmade stones (due mostly to cost). I decided to try the Nano Gems so I could compare to CZs. While they are a little less hard on the Mohs scale, I really love the color of these stones much more than most of the CZ colors. The Nano Gem colors seem closer to natural stone colors. They are just a little more subtle, where color CZs in many cases are quite saturated and occasionally garish. I particularly love the Champagne color. It reminds me of Morganite, and it's beautiful along side the Rhodolite color."
