4.29ct Oval Sapphire Ring with Half Moon Diamond Accents.
Green Hues: Emerald Cut Emerald and Diamond Halo Pendant.
The big three gems — ruby, sapphire, and emerald — are stronger than ever this year, in both traditional and modern styles. In fine jewelry, they represent the classics that never go out of vogue. At one point, ruby, sapphire, and emerald were considered the only precious gemstones (the rest were called semi-precious). These three gems, in the highest qualities, always hold their value, and in some cases are priced well above diamonds. They also represent strong colors on the spectrum. Red is the color of
love. It radiates passion and vitality. It is the color of intensity, appetite, and adventure. Blue is the world’s favorite color. It is cooling and soothing and associated with wisdom and clarity. It is a looks-good-anywhere color that is all about peace and serenity. Green is a perennial favorite that has come to represent ecology and the environment, along with green spaces, spring, regeneration, and fertility. It represents renewal and energy.
Bold Red: Classic Ruby and Diamond Bracelet.
