Precious vs. Semi-precious - Kim Hatzold tells you why you should just say gemstone. The attached article is one-of-three special gifts you receive when you sign up for the mailing list on Kim Hatzold's website.
Kim is a Graduate Gemologist and Accredited Jewelry Professional (GIA).

She has been teaching jewelry classes since 1995—specializing in jewelry design essentials, beginning-to-advanced wirework and stringing techniques, handcrafted chains, as well as pearl and colored stone fundamentals. Kim’s jewelry lines have been carried in Mariposa Gallery, Santa Fe, NM, as well as retail stores in Southern California.

In 2006, Kim took a sabbatical from teaching to focus her attention on developing her website—offering online tutorials, design tips, and inspiration for jewelry students. When she’s not busy writing new lessons and articles for the website, Kim designs jewelry pieces for private clients.
