A Collection Of Modern Life In Traditional Jewellery

This fall, we presented a new collection of traditional sets. The Gem & Bar collection was one of the jewellery collections we had exclusively during the golden jubilee of the Watch & Jewellery Middle East Show that was held in the first week of October this year. 

The collection is unique in many ways. The design reflects our deep connection with heritage, affection for gold, and nature. 

This lovely collection combines 21K gold jewellery with 24K small gold bars. The bars are used to embellish and decorate the traditional gold chokers, earrings, rings, bracelets, and pendants the way a gemstone will embellish a jewellery piece. 

What is unique as well, is the different gemstones used in the collection. Each stone has a different colour and look adding amazing touch to the beautiful design of jewellery sets. 

So, what are these aesthetic gemstones used in this collection? 

Let’s dig deeper! 

Agate  

We can say that agate is the king of all gems used in this collection. It is represented in almost most of the jewellery sets in this collection, and in different colours. 

Agate stones come from the quartz family and they come in different colours such as red, white, green, blue, etc… 

This colour stone was first discovered in the Achates River in Sicily, south of Italy by the Greek philosopher Theophrastus. It held great importance in ancient times and was used to ward off evil spirits, cure scorpion stings and snakebites, and guarantee victory in war times. 

Until now, it is considered a glamorous stone to embellish a precious jewellery piece such as a ring or a pendant. 

Ruby  

One of the four precious gemstones, and hardest. It weighs 9 on the Mohs scale and the only gemstone that is harder than a ruby is diamonds. 

This rare gemstone is a variety of mineral corundum and its name is derived from the Latin word “ruber” which means a red hue. 

Rubies can come in variants of red colour variations such as orange, pink and violet. 

This rare gemstone has been used in jewellery for centuries, and it symbolizes love and commitment. Hence, it is popular in wedding rings. 

Not to forget that Ruby stones are the birthstone for July and the 15th & 40th wedding anniversary.

The Iranian Turquoise sometimes called Persian Blue is popular for its amazing blue colour and it is the most prized turquoise stone. 

What attracts you to this stone, is its amazing colour comes in different hues ranging from blue to green with some brownish spots that act as marks that distinguish real turquoise stone from fake. Since these can not be found in fake turquoise stones.
