Sapphires
Sapphires are precious gemstones made of a crystalized mineral called corundum. They are the second-hardest natural gemstone with a 9 on the Mohs Scale of Hardness.
Blue sapphires are the most well-known color. Sapphires are also found in a range of vivid colors, including pinks, yellows, purples, oranges, greens & whites.
Sapphires are believed to bring luck, loyalty, happiness and love. The vivid colors and durability of sapphires make them a perfect choice for a colorful & lasting fine jewelry design.
Emeralds
Emeralds are precious gemstones made of a crystalized mineral called beryl. They range from 7.5-8 on the Mohs Scale of Hardness. The hardness of each stone is based on the inclusions, which are an expected characteristic. Emeralds are stronger and more valuable with less inclusions.
The green color is created by small amounts of chromium or vanadium in the stone. The conditions to create emeralds occur in very few places around the world, making emeralds one of the most rare & sought-after gemstones (more rare than diamonds).
Emeralds are known as the stone of eternal love. The rare quality, rich green color & beautiful symbolism of emeralds combines to create an incredible gemstone for fine jewelry designs.
Rubies
Rubies are precious gemstones made of a crystalized mineral called corundum (the same mineral as sapphires). They are the second-hardest natural gemstone with a 9 on the Mohs Scale of Hardness.
The vibrance of the red color is determined by how much chromium & iron is in the crystal structure. Rubies are found in a range of colors, from deep pinks to dark reds. The most valuable color is called 'pigeon's blood', which is a vibrant and deep red.
Rubies represent wisdom, passion and love. These rich red gemstones create stunning and timeless fine jewelry designs.
