Booth: Far East Gems & Jewelry
The Singapore Jewelry & Gems Fair 2016 was a blast to be at. My interest for gems grew when I met Kunming, the director of Far East Gems & Jewelry and the Gem Museum.
Far East Gem & Jewelry was running a booth at the fair and they had a very eye-drawing display. There were gems that glowed under the UV light. It was an experience to see pieces of “rocks” glow in the UV light. Kunming explained that the impurities or the inclusions actually create some of the glow when placed under the UV light. Amongst them, there was a gemstone that caught my attention and curiosity. This particular gem was created when lightning stuck the ground, I mean how does that even happens?!
At the fair, there were many different vendors with many things to offer. From jades to Japanese pearls. The one that caught my eye most was Alexendrites. These unique gems have a very special place in my heart. I should be doing more videos and photos with gemstones or gold or diamonds. If you have a project that involves them, do ring me up!
