Gemstone Globe Paperweights

Gemstone globe paperweights make great gifts for individuals, employees and as corporate gifts. These are miniature globes that are handmade from semi-precious gemstones. They are reasonably priced and you can usually get a reduced price for multiple pieces. They come in eleven color choices: Marine Blue, Caribbean Blue, Bahama Blue, Black Opalite, Copperite, Opal, Tanzanite, Amethyst, Peridot Green, Rubalite and triangle cut Mother-of-Pearl.

They come in two sizes - 3" & 4" diameters. Each 3" piece comes in a nice red gift box with a white satin lining. The 4" gemstone paperweight does not come in the gift box. They come in a brown cardboard shipping box. Another difference in the two sizes is the 3" size comes with one gemstone for each continent. The 4" gemstone globe paperweight comes with varied gemstones for each country so they offer more color. See pictures in this post.

If giving gemstone paperweights as a gift, they are unique enough and of a high quality that will ensure the recipient will actually display the gift instead of it ending up in a closet, drawer or trash can!
