    The Magical Cat’s Eye
    cat's eye are genuine rarities which are found only in a few deposits in the world, together with other varieties of chrysoberyl. One can hardly imagine that a gemstone could wink like the eye of a cat in such a remarkably genuine way.

    Is it magic, or Nature? What is it that causes this irresistibly beautiful show of light?

    Scientists have discovered that very fine inclusions, deposited in the stone, are responsible for this fascinating phenomenon. The incident light is reflected off them, so that a bright strip of light appears, running perpendicular to the inclusions, similar to the eye of a feline predator.

    When the stone is turned, this strip seems to glide away across the surface of the stone. In technical terminology this phenomenon is known as 'chatoyancy', which comes from the French 'chat' (for cat) and 'oeil' (for eye). Whilst chrysoberyls lacking the cat's eye effect are mostly faceted, cat's eyes are always cut into cabochons, since only tall, rounded shapes render the line of the eye properly visible.

    cat's eye , with its hues ranging from honey-colored to mint green, is a popular gemstone. In general, the value of a cat’s eye - as with other gemstones - depends on its quality, that is to say its beauty, color and attractiveness, the depth of the color and its transparency. Fine cat's eyes should be of a distinctive color and be as transparent as possible. The most popular ones are those of a beautiful honey yellow and those with fine green tones.

    AYpearl.com lets you know how to take care of your jewelry
    1. Avoid contact with acidic and alkaline substances.

    2. Don't wear your pearls constantly.
    It's best to take off your pearl jewelry before doing any strenuous work that may make you sweat or get the pearls dirty, such as housework. In addition, take off your pearls before swimming or taking a shower.
    3. Regular maintenance.
    Check your pearl jewelry regularly to make sure there are no loose pearls. Pearls can be cleaned using water and a soft cloth, or soaps formulated tobe very gentle, such as baby shampoo. If you wear a pearl necklace frequently, you should have it restrung at least once a year. Make sure your jeweler sets a knot between each pearl in the string, to prevent the pearls from rubbing against each other and abrading their surfaces.
    4. Don't use toothpaste to wash pearls.
    Toothpaste contains rigid particles that can damage the surface of your pearls. The best cleaning substance for pearls is a very gentle soap, such as baby shampoo.
    5. Avoid frequently touching your pearls. Our skin produces grease and oils that can coat your pearls and lessen their luster and shine. These oils are particularly found in the fingers and hands.
    6. Tap water can damage pearls. Tap water contains small amounts of chlorine and other chemicals that can damage pearls. Mineral water is the best choice for washing your pearls.
    7. Don't put your pearls in the washing machine. Yes, we've heard of people doing this. Pearls cannot withstand the shaking in supersonic washing machines, and may break apart if left in the wash. Don't ever let your pearls go into the washing machine.
    8. Bring a storage bag with you.
    When you're wearing your pearls, it's best to have a small cloth storage bag to store them in if you need to take them off. That way you won't lose them, put them in your purse where they could be scratched by sharp or hard objects inside, or leave them in a pocket and forget.
    9. Put your pearls on last.handmade jewelry
    It's generally advisable to put your pearl jewelry on after you dress, so the pearls' surface won't get scratched by buttons, clasps, or other hard materials on your clothes
