Rolling Out the Red Carpet For July’s Ruby Birthstone
|
|
Category: Gemstones
|
Rubies have long been associated with wisdom, health and love. It was once believed that rubies had the power to bestow good fortune on their owners and others believed they ignited the fires of passion. While their beauty makes July’s birthstone one of the world’s most highly prized gems, their strength makes them enduring. Rated a 9 on the Mohs scale of hardness, they trail just behind diamonds and tie their cousins, sapphires, when it comes to strength.

Other Months Are Green With Envy Over May’s Birthstone

Category: Gemstones

There’s more to May than just the flowers that arrive courtesy of all those April showers. People born in this month will find their birthstone shines with the primary color of the spring season. From a luscious, dark green to a softer tone that’s light like new grass, the diversity of emerald colors are as vast as the greens found in nature itself. Considering that, it’s no wonder this gemstone happens to take center stage for those who celebrate their birthdays in May.

Whether it’s the complexity of a particular request or the gravity of the purpose a particular piece of jewelry is meant to serve, some designs simply inspire us. This is the story of one of those times.
Not too long ago, our skills were put to the test by a customer with a very specific and extremely special request. He needed a black diamond engagement ring crafted from an ink-pen sketch he drew up.
