Sophie loves to work with SPINELS
SPINELSWith a range of colours that spans the spectrum, a spectacular lustre and excellent transparency and durability, the spinel is a beautiful gemstone that until recently has been overlooked and underappreciated. Often referred to as “the great imposter”, red spinels have long been mistaken for rubies by emperors and monarchs. Today, their popularity is on the rise, with spinel recently named an August birthstone, alongside peridot.

SAPPHIRE
Among the most treasured of all the gemstones, sapphires are a variety of the mineral corundum that are known for their exceptional beauty, hardness and durability. Best known as a blue gemstone, the sapphire actually comes in almost every colour of the rainbow. The birthstone of September, sapphires have been revered for centuries and feature heavily in the British Crown Jewels, earning them a regal status around the world.

RUBY

CARAT
A unit of weight that is used to measure the physical weight of diamonds and gemstones, one carat equals 0.200 grams or 1/5 gram and is subdivided into 100 points. The term carat is believed to derive from the carob tree, whose seeds weigh approximately 0.20 grams. To determine the approximate weight of a diamond, ancient jewellers would use carob seeds placed on balance scales. While this archaic method has been replaced with high-precision electronic weighing machines, the terminology has endured.
