Gemstones come in a myriad of colours, there would be a stone for every occasion. Some might just think about Rubies, Sapphires, Emeralds, Blue Topaz, Quartz or Aquamarines. But there are actually so many more gemstones that you could use!

Here at Far East Gems & Jewellery, we spend time to understand our clients’ needs and wants. Different gemstones perform dfferently at different times of the day. For example, “Neon” coloured gemstones like Mandarin Garnet and Paraiba Tourmaline looks best in the night. Their colour becomes more intense and they seem to “glow” in the dark! Or you might want to have a gemstone to challenge your diamond wearing friends! Try Zircons, scientically called Zircon Sillicate (not to be mistaken with Cubic Zirconia), they come in a many colours ranging from colourless to sky blue to yellow to orange and many more! They glitter almost like diamonds but have better value when you compare the per carat price to diamonds! On the hind side, Zircons are brittle when compare to diamonds though, so you would have to be careful when wearing them as a ring.

Another thing that excites me about gemstones… Just imagine a 100 carat star ruby as a pendant or a 500 carat Aquamarine as a belt buckle.

Do you like special effects? How about having a gemstone that changes colour at different times of the day? Or having a blue sheen effect (moonstone)? Want to have asian flavour? (Jade). Be a “star” wear a star (Have you seen a star sapphire, ruby or even a star quartz or a star garnet or a star spinel?).

That is why, jewellery design is not just about design, but rather creating a fusion between design & gemology. Part of our mission statement is to educate our clients about gemology while meeting their needs.
