It is from this tradition that sapphire has long been a popular choice for engagement rings.

RUBY
Celebrated in the Bible and in ancient Sanskrit writings as the most precious of all gemstones, rubies have been the prized possession of emperors and kings throughout the ages. It is no wonder that in the ancient Sanskrit, ruby is called ratnaraj, or “king of precious stones.” Ruby’s inner fire has been the inspiration for innumerable legends and myths, and to this day, no red gemstone can compare to its fiery, rich hues.

Emerald is the bluish-green to green variety of the mineral species beryl. The ancient Egyptians mined emeralds nearly 4,000 years ago, and Cleopatra is known to have been an avid collector of the gemstone.

Far more vast in range of color than its most renowned blue cousin, fancy sapphires are part of the Corundum mineral family. Fancy colored sapphires exist in pink, green, yellow, orange and purple. Sapphires that are not blue, black or colorless are referred to as fancy sapphires. Some sapphires may be considered ‘parti-colored’ or ‘color changing’ by displaying combinations of different colors. Each color category has its own color range created by different color-causing trace elements and origins. LEARN MORE

PARAÍBA TOURMALINE
Copper bearing tourmaline, more often recognized by the name Paraíba, is technically named cuprian elbaite tourmaline. As a trace element, copper is responsible for the intense neon blue hues that make Paraíba and Paraíba-type tourmalines so desirable. A stone is considered a Paraíba tourmaline if mined in the specific region in Paraíba, Brazil where the stone was first discovered in the 1980’s. The allure of this magnificent stone from the moment of its discovery saw demand far surpass supply. Thanks to more recent discoveries of deposits in Nigeria and Mozambique supply has increased for this unique stone, but fine material over a carat remains extremely rare. LEARN MORE

TOURMALINE
Tourmaline is a gemstone that comes in a seemingly endless variety of shades and colors; in fact it can occur in almost every hue. Reportedly first discovered in the 1500s by Spanish explorers in Brazil but mistaken for emerald; it took until the 1800s for scientists to distinguish it as the green variety of tourmaline. Its name even reflects this confusion, derived from the Sinhalese word ‘turmali’, which means ‘mixed.’ For centuries tourmalines have adorned the jewels of royalty and continue to inspire today.

ALEXANDRITE
Alexandrite is one of the most unique and rare gemstones ever discovered. It is a phenomenal variety of the mineral chrysoberyl that naturally color changes from bluishgreen in daylight to purplish-red in incandescent light. First discovered in 1830 in Czarist Russia in the Ural Mountains. Since the imperial colors of Russia were red and green, the newly discovered stone was named after Czar Alexander II, then heir to the throne. In 1987 a new deposit of alexandrite was found in Hematita, Brazil. Although there are other areas where alexandrite has been discovered, Brazil is considered the finest source for alexandrite since the 19th century. The most important quality factor when determining the value of an alexandrite is its color change, caused by the complex way this mineral absorbs light. LEARN MORE

SPINEL
Found in Myanmar (Burma), Sri Lanka and East Africa, spinel comes in a variety of colors including oranges, pinks, blues, lavenders, mauves and vivid reds. Often under appreciated among gemstones, spinel is coveted by collectors and gemologists for its range of hues and spectacular optical properties. Spinel was recently added as an official birthstone for August, raising its exposure to new heights. Recognized and prized for its hardness, brilliance, and unlike many other gem types, spinel is rarely treated or enhanced in any way. LEARN MORE

GARNET
The garnet family of gemstones is scientifically classified as a “group,” meaning that although the gems share the same atomic or crystal structure, they differ in their chemical makeup. For this reason, varieties of garnet will display certain distinct properties. Rarity of specific varieties within the group dramatically increases value compared to other garnets. Omi Privé features a range of rare and exquiste garnets in its collection, such as spessartine, demantoid and tsavorite garnets. LEARN MORE

MOONSTONE
A member of the feldspar group, moonstone is known for its distinct sheen under certain lighting conditions called adularescence. Its name is owed to this phenomenon. As its sheen flutters through the heart of the gemstone, it resembles the heavenly glow of moonlight. LEARN MORE

Moonstones display a remarkable phenomena: adularescence. It sometimes is referred to as ‘schiller’ and appears as a billowing luster or glow that seems to originate beneath the surface of the stone. In this suite of earrings and pendant, the vivid blue adularescence is complimented by halos of Royal blue sapphires. The effect is ethereal; as the blue sheen dances across the surface of the transparent moonstones, the blue sapphires accented with black rhodium add a spectral element reminiscent of a night sky.

The highly prized Australian opal is one of nature’s true works of art.
