As Valentine’s approaches and thoughts turn to love, coloured gemstones spring to mind as the perfect romantic token. Fiery red rubies, which have long been associated with passion, and emeralds, whose vibrant green is the colour of the heart chakra, naturally feature in this yearly celebration of love.
Coloured gems add glamour to any piece of jewellery. Whether twinkling subtly in a necklace or making a bold statement in a standout pair of earrings, rubies and emeralds can be counted on to up the ante.
Rubies and emeralds often cost more per carat than colourless diamonds and are far rarer too, dating back more than 500 million years. The Montepuez ruby mine and Kagem emerald mine, both majority-owned by Gemfields, have been the source of some truly exceptional, responsibly mined coloured gemstones.
Jewellery and fragrance both feature heavily on Valentine’s Day gift lists, and the ruby ‘Kiss’ perfume bottle necklace – from the recently launched Rachel Quinn x Gemfields Crazy Love collection – combines the two perfectly! Bina Goenka x Gemfields statement earrings, meanwhile, marry rubies and pearls in a most harmonious union.
Rubies are not, however, the only coloured gemstone made for Valentine’s gifting. For those favouring emeralds as a token of love, one romantic option is the Shachee Fine Jewellery x Gemfields emerald garden earrings. Using signature micro-mosaic techniques, Shachee also brings another popular Valentine’s motif into the mix in the form of flowers.
Previously available only in ruby, this Valentine’s Day, the Fabergé x Gemfields Treillage Heart Surprise Locket now features emerald and diamond options too. Whether celebrating a passionate romance or a blossoming new beginning, Mozambican rubies and Zambian emeralds are a perfect inclusion on any Valentine’s Day gift list!
