Questions & Answers

Did you know that only three coloured gemstones are considered precious? These are the Emerald, Blue Sapphire and Ruby which have retained their prized positions among jewels due to their extraordinary colours and extreme rarity.
All other coloured stones are known as semi-precious gemstones, and their value depends on the availability of the mineral.   

Natural pearls are created without any intervention from man when a tiny irritant finds its way into a mollusk. This causes the animal to secrete a substance to encapsulate the intruder in order to reduce the irritation. The result can be quite magical as the process continues over time to produce a lustrous spherical gem. Natural pearls of any significant size are extremely rare and are almost nonexistent in the market today.

Because of this scarcity, most pearls today are cultured pearls.
