More about Fine, Coloured Stones
Emeralds
Colombian and Brazilian emeralds have the finest, bright green colour that is so desirable in an emerald. Emeralds are also mined in other countries (Pakistan, Zambia, Nigeria) but Diamond Dealer Direct only use Colombian and Brazilian emeralds.
Although visible inclusions are undesirable in most coloured stones, almost all emeralds will be included. The inclusion gives the stone its character and exclusivity, helping it to reflect the light in distinctive ways so that in the depths of the stone an impression of foliage is created, which accounts for the name jardine. We can advise on the perfect cut to display your emerald’s uniqueness in any piece of jewellery that you choose.
Blue Sapphires
The sapphire is a durable stone yet this belies its delicate looks, with magnificent colour and intensity and fine translucency in the best stones. These are found in India, Burma and Ceylon and always feature in the fine coloured stone jewellery created by Diamond Dealer Direct. Our Other sources of sapphires are Thailand, Vietnam, Australia, Brazil and Africa.
To many people, the sapphire is synonymous with blue, but intriguing variations in other colours are also available. Blue is the favourite colour of 50% of the population, symbolising harmony, trust and mutual understanding; many women choose the sapphire for their engagement ring because of the virtues it symbolises. Another captivating feature of the sapphire is that it continues to sparkle even in the more subdued artificial light. Visit us to take advantage of our advice on the best cut and setting to display your blue sapphire to its full potential in your chosen piece of jewellery.
Pink Sapphires
The sapphire can be found in every colour but red, and the most popular version is the pink sapphire, with its fascinating dual identity. It is often regarded as the most beautiful variety in this extensive family of precious stones.
The pink sapphires will have a clear, vivid colour with high clarity and will be free of visible inclusions. At Diamond Dealer Direct we can advise you on the best cut, to exploit fully the life and brilliance of your unique stone.
Rubies
The ruby is one of the most valuable gemstones, prized for its rich, red colour which symbolises love, passion and vivacity, making a popular choice for an engagement ring. It is durable, like its relation the sapphire, but its colour is its most important feature. Inclusions do not impair the quality of the ruby, unless they decrease its transparency, and can actually be regarded as its individuality and proof of its genuineness and natural origin.
At Diamond Dealer Direct we will ensure that your ruby is enhanced by the perfect cut, to display its fine and rare qualities
These exquisite gems are all available in our showrooms, where you can view their stunning design.
