When buying sleeping beauty Jewelry, be sure to choose the highest quality item. Sleeping beauty Jewelry stones are incredibly durable, ranging from five to six on the Mohs scale. This means that real gemstones won't scratch or dent easily. In addition, a single-carat sleeping beauty stone can easily cost $50 or more. If the jewelry is only $15, it is probably fake. Instead, look for pieces with high-quality gemstones and a lower price.
