The Gemstone Guide

The stones we set, what they mean, and how hard-wearing they are — measured on the Mohs scale, 1 softest to 10 hardest.

Loose diamond
DiamondMohs 10
The classic · Commitment
The hardest natural gemstone and the most brilliant — made for everyday wear and a lifetime of it. The enduring symbol of commitment.
Everyday-ready
Loose sapphire
SapphireMohs 9
Wisdom · Loyalty · Truth
Far more than blue — pink sapphire, padparadscha and beyond. Exceptionally tough, second only to diamond, so it wears beautifully day to day.
Everyday-ready
Loose ruby
RubyMohs 9
Passion · Love · Prosperity
The king of gems, prized for its deep red. Rarer than diamond in larger sizes, and just as durable for rings worn every day.
Everyday-ready
Loose emerald
EmeraldMohs 7.5–8
Growth · Hope · Renewal
A green like no other. Naturally included, so it asks for a little more care — best in pendants and earrings, or worn mindfully as a ring.

Loose tourmaline
TourmalineMohs 7–7.5
The widest palette
The broadest colour range of any gemstone — pinks, greens, blues and bi-colours — so there's almost always a tourmaline to match a memory.
Wear with a little care
Loose spinel
SpinelMohs 7.5–8
The hidden gem
Long mistaken for ruby and even diamond, spinel comes in vivid pinks and reds with remarkable brilliance — a connoisseur's stone.

Choosing your stone

By colour
Start with the shade you're drawn to — it's what you'll see every day.
By meaning
Each stone carries its own symbolism. Choose one that marks your moment.
By lifestyle
Daily rings love Mohs 9–10. Softer stones shine in pendants & earrings.

Caring for gemstones

Store pieces separately so harder stones don't scratch softer ones, keep them from chlorine and perfume, and clean gently with the cloth provided. Bring any piece to the atelier for complimentary cleaning and a setting check.
