💚 Emerald – Love & Renewal

❤️ Ruby – Passion & Romance

A colored gemstone ring is a statement of individuality. Instead of a standard diamond, you get a one-of-a-kind ring that truly reflects your love story. Our factory allows us to hand-select the finest gemstones, ensuring each ring is crafted with precision and care.

💰 Affordability & Value

Many colored gemstones offer breathtaking beauty at a better value than diamonds. A high-quality sapphire, tourmaline, or spinel can be an affordable yet equally stunning alternative. Plus, because we manufacture our jewelry in-house, you get premium quality without unnecessary markups.


How to Choose the Perfect Colored Gemstone?

Not all gemstones are created equal—here's what to keep in mind when choosing yours:

Durability – Sapphires and rubies (9/10 on the Mohs scale) are excellent for everyday wear.

Cut & Clarity – A well-cut gemstone enhances brilliance and sparkle.

Metal Pairings – Emeralds shine in yellow gold, while sapphires pair beautifully with platinum or white gold.

Since we oversee every step of the sourcing and manufacturing process, we ensure that only the finest cuts and ethically sourced gems make it into our rings like ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️
