Of course there’s a whole world of precious and semi-precious gemstones that have been used in fine jewellery throughout history, but not all gemstones alike. In fact, each type of stone is amazingly different. One gemstone people ask us to use in their engagement ring is moissanite. This is because, given its clear colour and eye-catching sparkle, a moissanite engagement ring is a common alternative to diamond.
However, our workshop has chosen not to craft our engagement rings with moissanites, instead opting to specialise in both lab grown diamond and natural diamond, sapphires, rubies, emeralds, and tourmalines.
The reason we work with these gemstones exclusively is because they’re exceptionally beautiful, and durable. Because an engagement ring is typically worn on a daily basis, it’s going to get exposed to knocks and bumps over a lifetime. The gemstones we work with have been chosen because they’re strong enough to be up to the challenge of daily life and will maintain their beauty over time.
