PRECIOUS METALS

Precious metals

From gold to platinum, from silver to tantalum; One of the fundamental questions is what alloy will be used for your engagement ring and your wedding band. The question is the same for any type of jewelry making.

Gold and platinum are the materials most popular and also the most expensive. Gold is considered an investment while platinum is considered the ultimate luxury in making.

Silver, tungsten or tantalum being less expensive materials are often used for wedding jewelry for aesthetic and cultural reasons.

Between the different colors, characteristics, their advantages and disadvantages, precious metals require a minimum understanding for a choice made in full light.

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

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

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

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.
While the characteristics of rubies and the virtues attributed to them accompany those born in July, what are the specificities and benefits that make it one of the most sought-after precious stones in jewelry?

THE EMERALD

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.
Mounted on gold or platinum and worn as a pendant, necklace, ring, bracelet or earrings, emeralds with their shades of green will enhance the most beautiful jewelry.
