Information

Gemstones have attracted humankind since ancient times, and have long been used for jewelry. The prime requisite for a gem is that it must be beautiful. Gemstones have played various roles in the myths and legends of human cultures throughout history. Some tell a story or are believed to have special powers, but all of them share a common beauty. Each gemstone is unique with a special colour, birthplace and story. Gemstones come in every colour of the rainbow and are gathered from all corners of the world, with each coloured gemstone possessing a unique creation of beautiful colour. Some gemstones have been treasured since before history began and others were only discovered recently.
