Opal
Known for its unique play of colors, Ethiopian Opals are highly sought after in the global market. The phenomenon, known as “play-of-color,” is caused by the diffraction of light as it passes through the microscopic silica spheres within the stone. Ethiopian Opals are often found with a base color ranging from clear to milky white, with vibrant flashes of color including reds, greens, blues, and yellows. These gemstones are carefully mined and polished to bring out their natural beauty and the stunning interplay of colors.
Sapphire
Sapphires come in a range of colors, including the classic blue, pink, yellow, and even green and purple. The blue sapphire is particularly prized and has been historically associated with royalty and nobility. Sapphires are a variety of the mineral corundum and are valued for their hardness (second only to diamonds) and their stunning appearance. They are often heat-treated to enhance their color and clarity.
Ruby
Renowned for their deep red color, rubies are one of the most prized gemstones. The red color is due to the presence of chromium. Rubies are also a variety of the mineral corundum and share the same hardness as sapphires. The finest rubies, often referred to as “pigeon blood,” have a pure, vibrant red with a hint of blue. Each stone is meticulously selected to ensure the highest quality, considering factors such as color, clarity, cut, and carat weight.
Emerald
Emeralds are characterized by their vibrant green color and clarity, with the green color attributed to trace amounts of chromium and vanadium. They belong to the beryl mineral family. Fine emeralds have a rich, evenly distributed color and minimal inclusions. Emeralds are often treated with oils to enhance their clarity and appearance.
Aquamarine
Known for its beautiful blue-green hue, aquamarine is another member of the beryl family. Its color ranges from pale blue to deep teal, with the most valued stones exhibiting a rich, pure blue. Aquamarines are often free of inclusions and have excellent transparency. They are also notable for their relatively large crystal sizes, making them suitable for sizeable faceted stones.
Beryl
Beryl is a versatile gemstone available in a variety of colors, each with its own unique properties and appeal. The most well-known varieties of beryl include green (emerald), blue (aquamarine), pink (morganite), yellow (heliodor), and colorless (goshenite). Beryl crystals are typically prismatic and can be quite large.
Citrine
With its warm, golden-yellow color, citrine is a popular choice for jewelry. It is a variety of quartz and owes its color to trace amounts of iron. Citrine is often heat-treated to enhance its color and is known for its affordability and abundance. Its name is derived from the French word for lemon, “citron.”
Olivine/Peridot
Olivine, also known as peridot when of gem quality, is known for its striking green color, which ranges from yellow-green to olive-green. Peridot is one of the few gemstones that occur in only one color, though the intensity and hue of the green depend on the amount of iron present in the crystal structure. Peridot has been used in jewelry for thousands of years and is prized for its unique color and clarity.
