Top 10 DIY Faux Gemstones For Homemade Jewelry

When it comes to jewelry, it’s a fact that most women prefer it to be made from real gemstones rather than gemstone imitations. And for a very good reason – they’re much more skin-friendly in terms of allergies, and they look much shinier. That’s great if you’re someone who can afford a good piece of authentic gemstone jewelry. However, if you don’t yet belong to that category, don’t wallow in self-pity. There’s good news for you, too!
