Gemstones are among the most individual of nature's creations: perfect crystals, with no two alike. Here, are some interesting facts of popular gemstone varieties that are often used in our jewellery collections but there are many more rare collector's gemstones.

Although some gemstone varieties have been treasured since before history began and others were only discovered recently, all are nature's gifts to us.

Sapphire, the celestial gemstone, has been treasured for thousands of years. The ancient Persians believed that the earth rested on a giant sapphire and its reflection colored the sky.

Sapphire is found in all the colors of the heavens: from midnight blue to the bright blue of noon sky in the Mediterranean, golden sunrise to firey reddish-orange sunsets, and the delicate violet of twilight. The most famous and valuable sapphires are a rich intense blue, a truly royal hue.
