Cut diamond tennis-chain jewelry
Diamond, crystalline carbon (C), cubic crystal system
Cut diamond-like gemstone
Likely cubic zirconia (zirconium dioxide, ZrO₂) or glass; natural diamond (carbon, C) cannot be confirmed from an image
Opalite
Synthetic Glass (Simulated Opal)
Cubic Zirconia (CZ) in Gold-Plated Setting
Cubic Zirconium Dioxide (ZrO2)
Opalite
Synthetic Opalised Glass
Small stud earring with a purple gemstone (possibly amethyst)
Possible amethyst, a purple variety of quartz (SiO₂); identification is uncertain from the image
Opalite
Man-made Glass (Synthetic Opalized Glass)
Likely clear quartz crystal (possibly cut/polished quartz or glass imitation)
Quartz, silicon dioxide (SiO₂)
Red glassy cabochon, likely synthetic ruby or red glass
Uncertain; possible synthetic corundum (Al₂O₃, chromium-colored) or man-made glass
Blue Sapphire (Synthetic or Man-made Glass Imitation)
Corundum (Al2O3) if natural; Lead-glass or Spinal if synthetic
Costume Jewelry with Synthetic Gemstones
Synthetic Cubic Zirconia and Glass (SiO2 / ZrO2)
Colorless faceted quartz-like gemstone
Likely quartz (SiO₂), though the appearance may also indicate man-made glass or cubic zirconia
Pink faceted gemstone, likely synthetic ruby or pink sapphire
Corundum (Al₂O₃), possibly chromium-colored ruby; synthetic origin likely
Cubic Zirconia (or possibly Diamond)
Zirconium dioxide (or Carbon)
Diamond (or Diamond Simulant)
Carbon (C) - Native Element
Red glass-like crystal, likely synthetic ruby or red glass
Uncertain from image; possible corundum (ruby), Al₂O₃, or synthetic glass
Jewelry Chain with Blue and Clear Gemstones (Likely Cubic Zirconia)
Cubic Zirconia (ZrO₂), Silver or White Gold/Platinum Alloy
Opalite crescent pendant
Opalite (man-made opalescent glass; not a natural mineral)
Blue goldstone (man-made glass)
Copper-bearing aventurine glass; synthetic silicate glass
Faceted colorless gemstone, likely cubic zirconia or quartz
Uncertain from photograph; cubic zirconia (ZrO₂) is the leading visual possibility, with quartz (SiO₂) as an alternative
Cubic Zirconia (in Jewelry)
Zirconium Dioxide (ZrO2)
Opalite
Synthesized glass / Silicon dioxide glass
Milky Quartz
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2)
Clear faceted gemstone in an ornate metal bracelet
Unidentified transparent faceted stone; possibilities include quartz (SiO₂), zircon (ZrSiO₄), or glass—image alone cannot distinguish them
Faceted colorless gemstone, likely quartz or glass imitation
Most likely quartz (SiO₂), though the strong glare and visible facet pattern could indicate cubic zirconia or lead glass
Amethyst quartz cluster
Quartz, SiO₂; purple variety amethyst
Diamond in a gold-tone setting
Diamond, crystalline carbon (C)
Blue Sapphire (likely costume glass imitation)
Corundum (Al2O3) with iron/titanium impurities
Faceted colorless gemstone, likely quartz (rock crystal)
Quartz, SiO₂
Goldstone
Aventurine glass
Cat's Eye Moonstone (Simulated/Synthetic or natural Cat's Eye Quartz/Glass)
There is no single scientific name. The appearance suggests either: Moonstone (feldspar group), Cat's Eye Quartz (SiO2), Apatite (Ca5(PO4)3(F,Cl,OH)), or most likely a synthetic material such as Fiber Optic Glass or 'Opalite' (a type of glass).
Man-made Synthetic Material (Costume Faux Fur)
Synthetic Polymer (Polyester/Acrylic)
Gemstone rings (stones not reliably identifiable)
The pale stone may be quartz or another translucent gem; the red stone may be ruby, garnet, or synthetic corundum. Image detail is insufficient for identification.
Opalite
Synthetic Opalite Glass (Silicon Dioxide)
Pink-purple faceted gemstone ring (likely garnet)
Likely almandine–pyrope garnet, (Fe,Mg)₃Al₂(SiO₄)₃; identification from the image is uncertain.
Blue Obsidian
Volcanic Glass (Amorphous)
Ruby / Red Corundum
Al2O3 (Aluminum Oxide with Chromium trace)
Faceted yellow-brown gemstone ring, possibly citrine
Unidentified faceted gem; citrine is quartz (SiO₂), but the photo is insufficient for a reliable identification
Blue glass-like bead or gemstone keychain ornament
Indeterminate; likely cobalt-blue glass or synthetic blue spinel, not identifiable as a natural mineral from the image
Costume Jewelry Gemstones (Emerald-imitation and semi-precious beads)
BeCuAl6Si6O18 (Beryl structure), frequently simulated by glass or synthetic spinel
Pink/red faceted gemstone, likely synthetic ruby or pink sapphire
Corundum, aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃); likely lab-grown or treated material
Green iridescent glass cabochon or synthetic gemstone
Likely synthetic glass; possibly coated synthetic quartz or lab-created green gemstone
