Gemstone globes are very similar to regular globes. They both show the world in great detail and that is where the similarities among these two stop. A regular world globe might be made from synthetic materials like plastic or resin. Some might be made from various metals and woods but the gemstone globe is made from actual gemstones. You might find mother of pearl, onyx, turquoise, coral, amber or brilliant blue lapis.
At first glance, your eyes will tell you that you are seeing a regular globe, but if you take a closer look you will see that the continents are made from gems and precious stones. Their beauty is stunning and will capture anyone’s attention.
Some of these works of art are completely crafted by hand. The base of the world globe is crafted and hand carved from wood. The countries are hand carved from semi precious stones, labeled by hand and set by hand. All of this hands on work gives them a look that modern machinery just can not duplicate. The whole globe is then laminated for a lustrous finish and is sure to catch your eye.
These beautiful world maps look great in any room or office.
