Birthstones

The sentiment behind the giving of an engagement ring is, possibly, more important than the ring itself. To show how much you cherish the person you love most in the world, take the opportunity to present them with a coloured gemstone engagement ring which embodies your unique bond.

Coloured gemstones can transform an outfit with their unique colours and enlightened beauty when set with diamonds. For centuries, emerald has enchanted with its renowned deep green hues, adorned by royalty, and esteemed names alike. One such avid collector of emerald was Cleopatra, whose collection overflowed with stunning emerald set pieces.

When it comes to birthstones, sapphire has it all. The blue skies of summer may soon be disappearing, but September’s birthstone is renowned for its rich blue hues to keep the day shining bright.
