Gemstones

Gemstones have played various roles in myths and legends throughout history, with each one possessing its own unique colour, birthplace and story. Some gemstones have been treasured since before history began, while others have only been recently discovered. Join us as we explore the colourful world of gemstone jewellery.

Birthstones

Birthstones are gemstones that accompany a birth month, each having a unique meaning and historical significance. The popularity of birthstones dates back to ancient times when civilisations believed that gemstones had incredible powers such as luck, health and prosperity. Traditionally, each month is associated with a single gemstone, but as you’ll find below there are a few months with multiple birthstones.

Pearls

A pearl is a hard, glistening object produced within the soft tissue of a living shelled mollusk or another animal, such as a conulariida. Just like the shell of a mollusk, a pearl is composed of calcium carbonate in minute crystalline form, which has been deposited in concentric layers.

Diamonds

When selecting a diamond, your first priority is usually to choose a shape. Learn about round brilliant diamonds and fancy shaped diamonds such as princess, emerald, and oval cut diamonds.
