Our 14K Gold jewelry is crafted to last a lifetime. Gold jewelry does not oxidize and does not change color, even when worn daily, year after year.

White Sapphire is colorless corundum (aluminum oxide), in the same family as blue sapphire and ruby.

Paradoxically, its beauty comes from what it lacks: without traces of iron, titanium, or chromium, it remains completely clear and transparent.

It forms in igneous and metamorphic rocks, at high pressures and temperatures, under the same conditions as all corundum.

With a hardness of 9, it's one of the hardest gemstones in the world — only diamond and moissanite surpass it.

That's exactly why it has become one of the most beloved natural alternatives to diamond, especially for engagement rings.

Unlike diamond, it has a slightly softer, more 'white' sparkle — a discreet charm, not a blinding fire. Honestly: it doesn't outshine diamond in brilliance, but it offers a pure, clean elegance.

Historically, it was also used as a diamond imitation, before synthetic stones existed.

The finest specimens come from Sri Lanka and Madagascar, major corundum regions.

Sapphire, in general, symbolizes loyalty and wisdom, while the white variety adds a note of purity and new beginnings. Corundum is the birthstone for September.

With a hardness of 9, it is remarkably resistant to daily wear and keeps its luster with minimal care, as long as it's protected from major impacts.

It cleans easily with a soft cloth. Its clarity is beautifully showcased in 925 silver and white gold, in pieces that lean into simple elegance.

Tourmaline holds the record as the most colorful gemstone family in the world — it appears in pink, green, blue, black, and even in multiple colors within the same crystal.

It’s a borosilicate that forms in pegmatites.

As it grows, its chemical composition shifts, “painting” the crystal in layers of different colors.

Its name comes from Sinhala and literally means “stone with mixed colors.”

It also has an electric trick: when heated or pressed, it becomes electrically charged and attracts dust — 18th-century Dutch traders used it to pull ash from their pipes.

China’s Empress Cixi was so enamored with California pink tourmaline that she practically emptied the mines there; in 1908 she was buried with a pink tourmaline beneath her head.

The “watermelon” variety (green on the outside, pink inside) is so spectacular it looks artificially colored—though it’s entirely natural.

The most prized specimens come from Brazil, Africa, and Afghanistan.

Associated with balance, protection, and positive energy (especially the black variety), tourmaline is one of October’s birthstones.

With a hardness of 7–7,5 it’s fairly durable, but can develop fissures under strong impact.

It benefits from careful cleaning and storage, protected from shocks.

Clean gently with a soft cloth. This chromatic richness is beautifully highlighted in 925 silver and gold.
