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.

    As pictured

    "Lovely light color that can match almost any stone. Really looks nice in gold bronze! It's almost like champagne diamond color."

    — Karen H. (5/5)

    Good gems for small pieces

    "I love using the nano gems as tiny accent "diamonds" when I make replicas of small figural pieces with metal clay, like a lion with a gem in its mouth, etc. They hold up well in a kiln. The tea topaz light is I think the color that mimics a plain diamond the most (unless there was another clear one out of stock when I bought). I do wish cool tools would offer a size in between the 1mm and 2mm. The 1mm gems are soooo tiny. They do have their uses from time to time, but it is fairly limited. I use the 2mm the most, but would love to see a 1.5mm on offer some day. Make sure to have tweezers handy when you are setting these gems as they are too small to set with your fingers in my opinion."

    just wonderful!

    "I love, love, love the extended color range these little gems offer. You can fire in place and their color holds true!"
