Gemstone Watchbands
You know when you have a watchband that is made of gemstones like pearls, diamonds or rubies that you don't have a watch because you want to tell time, you have one as a fashion accessory and there is nothing wrong with that. It probably costs a lot of money to have the most beautiful watch money can buy. It is great - if you can afford it!
Here lies the real problem, if the band breaks, the gems are going to spill everywhere and you won't be able to find them all. That is the first problem, the second problem being that the band on a watch with gem stones is going to be very expensive. Maybe even more than the watch face piece itself.
If you have the money to buy a watch with gemstones for a band then, you may have the money to replace it, but how many times. Gemstones are very fragile; a watchband made from them won't be strong or durable. It should be worn very carefully and treated like the jewelry piece that it is.
