Primaviva Nigeria limited sells gold rings, necklaces, bangles, and stones. We are essentially a jewelry store or a fine jewelry boutique. We also specialize in precious metal jewelry, often featuring gemstones.

2. Stones (Gemstones):
Primaviva Nigeria limited will offers a variety of gemstones, which can be incorporated into any of the gold jewelry types mentioned above. Common gemstones include:
* Diamonds: The most popular choice for engagement rings and fine jewelry, valued for their brilliance, fire, and hardness. They come in various cuts (round, princess, emerald, oval, pear, etc.).
* Sapphires: Known for their deep blue color, but also found in other hues (pink, yellow, green).
* Rubies: Famous for their vibrant red color.
* Emeralds: Distinguished by their rich green color.
* Other Precious/Semi-Precious Stones: Amethysts, topazes, aquamarines, garnets, peridots, opals, pearls, tanzanites, and many more. The specific stones available will depend on the shop’s inventory and specialization.
Key things to consider when buying from a gold shop:
* Karatage (Purity of Gold): Gold is measured in karats (K). 24K is pure gold, but it’s too soft for most jewelry. Common karats for jewelry include:
* 22K: 91.7% pure gold, popular in some parts of the world.
* 18K: 75% pure gold, a popular choice for fine jewelry due to its balance of purity and durability.
* 14K: 58.3% pure gold, very durable and widely used, especially for engagement rings and everyday wear.
* 10K: 41.7% pure gold, the least pure but most durable.
* Gold Color: Gold jewelry comes in different colors:
* Yellow Gold: The traditional color, achieved by alloying gold with silver and copper.
* White Gold: Created by alloying gold with white metals like palladium or nickel, often rhodium-plated for a brighter finish.
* Rose Gold: A pinkish hue achieved by alloying gold with a higher proportion of copper.
* Certification: For diamonds and other significant gemstones, ask for certifications (e.g., GIA, IGI, AGS for diamonds) to verify their quality (cut, color, clarity, carat weight).
* Craftsmanship: Examine the finishing, setting of stones, and overall quality of the piece.
* Return/Exchange Policy: Understand the shop’s policies before making a purchase.
* Reputation: Look for established jewelers with good reviews and a reputation for honesty and quality.
