Peridot

The Egyptians called it the “gem of the sun”

Peridot has always been associated with light and is usually transparent

This gem combines a warm attractive colour with good wearability

Citrine ranges from slightly golden yellow to a medium gold showing hints of orange.

Aquamarine crystals can grow to huge sizes and are usually blessed with excellent clarity

Gem body colours range from greenish blue to blue-green in light tones.

Blue topaz rivals aquamarine in colour and charm

Found in greater abundance, it offers superb clarity and luminous colour at a fraction of the cost.

Garnet gemstones are made up of many closely related species

Almandine is probably one of the most familiar of these.

Amethyst has been the most prized member of the quartz family for centuries

Perhaps because of its depth and richness, Amethyst has always been associated with intense emotion.
