SKY AQUAPRASETM
Chalcedony Family | Mohs Scale: 7-7.5
Aquaprase is the world’s newest gem, a new type of chalcedony with a unique blue-green color. Because of the mix of colors, seafoam and matrix, each gem comes out differently even when two of the same style are created. Le Vian® offers two styles of Aquaprase. Sky AquapraseTM reveals a more blue than green color with a matrix that resembles billowing clouds on a clear day.

Vanilla SapphireTM
Corundum Family | Mohs Scale: 9 | September Birthstone | 5th/45th/70th Anniversary Gemstone
Throughout history, sapphires have always been associated with the color blue, perhaps most likely due to its name which comes from the Greek word sappheiros (blue stone) but this precious gem comes in a rainbow of colors as well as the colorless white sapphire. Le Vian® has named its white sapphire, Vanilla Sapphire™. This gem can be found in Le Vian’s popular Blueberry Ombre™ and Blueberry Layer Cake™ collections.

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.
