As Valentine’s Day approaches, focus shifts to the fine art of romance and the tradition of giving. What better occasion to celebrate than with exquisite, top-of-the-line jewellery?
Coloured gemstones lie at the very heart of jewels – both literally and metaphorically. Fiery red rubies have long been associated with passion, while vibrant green emeralds represents the colour of the heart chakra.
Emerging from the depths of Mother Earth some 500 million years ago, rubies are universally prized by everyone as they brighten up winter days and lift spirits with their exuberant pop of colour.
Among the most exceptional rubies originate from Mozambique, with many sourced from the Montepuez mine—a significant ruby deposit recently unearthed, majority-owned by Gemfields.
Rubies from Montepuez are responsibly mined by Gemfields, in keeping with its core brand value of operating with transparency, legitimacy and integrity.
Mozambican rubies are prized for their exceptional colour – ranging from orangey to bluish reds – as well as their clarity. These are beautifully showcased in fetching designs by Gemfields’ talented jewellery brand partners.
A Valentine’s winner, combining jewels and flowers in an inspired design bursting with romantic allure, the Bina Goenka x Gemfields Ruby and Petals Ring has a delicate floral shape, with a rich red ruby twinkling at its centre, encased by diamonds. Each diamond-adorned mother-of-pearl petal is a miniature work of art.
Diacolor, IVY New York and Shachee Fine Jewellery also offer floral-inspired creations.
The Fabergé x Gemfields Essence Rose Gold Ruby Heart Surprise Locket featuring a Mozambican ruby is a Valentine’s Day classic. The element of surprise, in this case a perfect heart-shaped ruby, wrapped up in rose gold with a diamond clasp, conjures up the essence of this romantic time.
