Precious stones
There are four gems of great rarity that have the unique designation of precious stones: diamond, sapphire, ruby, and emerald. These concentrate the greatest value in a very small amount of material. Thanks to the work of the jeweler, these can be set on jewelry such as rings, necklaces, earrings, pendants, or even brooches. These high-value stones are used in the best jewelry stores.
THE DIAMOND
The diamond is a material composed of carbon exposed to high pressure and high temperature coveted in jewelry for its rarity and exceptional brilliance. The diamond has been considered for millennia as the gem of strength and luxury.
It symbolizes eternal love par excellence, which is why it is part of the ornament of most engagement rings and wedding bands.
Diamonds are generally white, however, they exist in different shades such as yellow, blue, red, orange or even green. These, of extreme rarity, can reach incredible prices during exceptional sales at auction houses.
THE SAPPHIRE
The sapphire is a precious stone from the corundum family famous for the most beautiful blues in the world. Its name comes from the Greek sappheiros.
Although this gem is famous for its shades of blue, elle exists in its natural state in different colors of the rainbow spectrum: green, purple, pink, orange...
Symbol of prosperity, truth and fidelity, the sapphire is the most popular colored stone in the making of jewelry (particularly engagement rings).
The most famous ring made with a Ceylon blue sapphire belongs to the royal family of England, first worn by Princess Diana and now owned by Kate Middleton.
THE RUBY
The ruby is the most expensive of the precious stones, belonging to the corundum family just like the sapphire. Its intense red color comes from the chemical element Cr (Chromium).
High-quality rubies are very rare and are mainly found in Burma (Myanmar) and Mozambique.
The most sought-after color is the pigeon's blood ruby, which fetches prices higher than diamonds.
The ruby is considered the quintessential romantic gem, symbolizing love, passion, and energy, often passed down from mother to daughter through generations.

THE EMERALD
The emerald is a precious green-colored stone symbolizing humility and royalty; which is often given for the renewal of wedding vows. Elle is synonymous with renewal and hope.
This gem requires a goldsmith's hand for the making of jewelry pieces due to its fragile nature with a hardness of 7.5 on the Mohs scale.
