Topaz: The Gem of Clarity and Calm

Topaz is one of the most versatile coloured gemstones, available in a rainbow of shades, but it’s the vivid blue topaz that most often captures the imagination. Known for its crisp brilliance and incredible clarity, topaz is a durable stone perfect for daily wear.

• Colour Range: From sky blue to Swiss and London blue, as well as golden and pink hues.

• Hardness: 8 on the Mohs scale – highly durable.

• Symbolism: Often associated with serenity, truth and clear communication.

• Perfect For: Statement cocktail rings or elegant pendants that showcase the stone’s natural sparkle.

Morganite: Romance in a Rosy Hue

Delicate and feminine, morganite is a member of the beryl family (like emerald and aquamarine) and is loved for its soft blush tones. It’s a beautiful alternative to traditional pink gemstones like sapphires or rubies and offers a more modern, ethereal feel.

• Colour Range: Pale pink to peach, sometimes with a hint of lavender.

• Hardness: 7.5 to 8 – suitable for everyday wear with care.

• Symbolism: Love, compassion and emotional healing.

• Perfect For: Engagement rings or anniversary pieces with a romantic twist.

Tourmaline: The Gem of Infinite Possibilities

Tourmaline is often called the “chameleon gemstone” thanks to its incredible diversity of colour. From watermelon pink and green to electric blue and deep red, this vibrant stone allows for bold creative expression in design.

• Colour Range: Virtually every hue imaginable – most popular include green, pink, and paraiba blue.

• Hardness: 7 to 7.5 – best worn in pieces that are protected, like pendants or earrings.

• Symbolism: Creativity, protection, and emotional balance.

• Perfect For: Artistic, custom-designed jewellery that tells a personal story.

Citrine: A Ray of Golden Sunshine

Warm and inviting, citrine’s golden hues instantly brighten any jewellery piece. Its sunny colour and high clarity make it an affordable yet luxurious choice for those wanting to add a pop of colour to their collection.

• Colour Range: Pale yellow to deep amber and orange-brown.

• Hardness: 7 – durable but benefits from careful wear.

• Symbolism: Joy, prosperity and positive energy.

• Perfect For: Everyday wear pieces that uplift your mood – such as stackable rings or layered necklaces.

⸻

Aquamarine: Oceanic Elegance

With its serene sea-blue tones, aquamarine evokes calm and clarity. As another member of the beryl family, it’s prized for its transparency and subtle elegance. Aquamarine suits both modern minimalism and vintage-inspired designs.

• Colour Range: Pale blue to blue-green.

• Hardness: 7.5 to 8 – durable and wearable.

• Symbolism: Peace, courage and clarity of thought.

• Perfect For: Timeless, heirloom-worthy rings or refined bridal jewellery.
