PASSION RUBYTM

Ruby has the distinction of being the most valued gemstone throughout most of recorded history. Ancient Sanskrit referred to the ruby as the "king of precious stones", the bible found only wise and virtuous women more precious than rubies and the Persian sage al-Biruni wrote about rubies the first place in color, beauty and rank among all gems. The name Ruby comes from the Latin word ruber for its hue. The strength of red in the ruby depends on how much chromium is present—the more chromium, the stronger the red color. Chromium can also cause fluorescence, which adds to the intensity of the red color. The brilliant crimson color of this gem is associated with passion and love, making the ruby an ideal choice for engagement rings.

There are many famous rubies throughout history, two of which can be seen at the Smithsonian Institution, National Museum of Natural History including the 138.72-carat Rosser Reeves Star Ruby from Sri Lanka and the 23.10-carat Carmen Lucia Ruby which is considered one of the world's finest large Burmese rubies.

"Passion RubyTM, the July birthstone, embodies our passionate red color and represents the top of production of responsibly sourced ruby."

Sunny Yellow Diamonds®

The most prized shades of yellow diamonds are the pure, rich shades, its yellow color obtained through the presence of nitrogen. While natural fancy color yellow diamonds are rarer than brown diamonds and more abundant than other natural color diamonds, this sunny bright diamond still represents just a small portion of overall production, each a one-of-a-kind and 10,000 times rarer than a white diamond.

Famous yellows include The Incomparable, the world’s largest internally flawless diamond which weighs 407.48 carats and is a deep brownish yellow, the 253.70-carat yellow octahedral Oppenheimer Diamond crystal and 101.29carat Allnatt Fancy Vivid yellow with a clarity grade of VS2.

VANILLA DIAMONDS®

The journey of a diamond in the rough to the sparkling diamond design you love is a fascinating story, one that began billions of years ago, deep within the earth where a diamond has formed under extreme heat and pressure. Its ascent from its natural home is forced by nature or man where it is then cleaved, cut and polished revealing its natural beauty. Diamonds are the hardest material on earth and the only gem that is composed of only one element, carbon.
