A JewelryBoxDirect.com gemstone globe is truly the genuine article.  We specify and inspect all of the high quality materials that go into our globes, including:

Twenty-five exquisite Grade A gemstones are used for the oceans and countries of the world.

• Our globes contain no faux gemstones as with some manufacturers.  Our oceans are made of reconstituted genuine Grade A gemstones with a 15% resin mix, not all resin as in lower quality globes.
  
• Glittering gold and silver ribbon is used for the latitude and longitude lines.
  
• Ten coats of clear acrylic are applied to protect the gemstone and precious metals.
  
• The finest quality brass and pewter electroplating is used for our stands and mountings.
  
• Our stands and fittings are lacquered to prevent them from tarnishing.
  
• Because we do all this, our gemstone globes last forever and require virtually no care or maintenance.  Simply dust them off occasionally and wipe smudges off with a damp cloth.  That’s all you’ll ever have to do.
