GEMSTONE ENCYCLOPEDIA
Gems are the wonders of nature. They are created from the intense pressure underneath the Earth's crust, attained by mining or found in river beds. Chemistry and temperature are the determining factors in gemstone colours, explaining why a single kind of gemstone can span a range of different colours. They all have unique characteristics. Composition, colour, transparency, inner structure and optical effects distinguish them from each other. Since 1991 we have worked with more than 900 different gemstones. Our mission is to share the joy of possessing and wearing precious jewellery with gemstones in all shapes and colours.
