Materials
AQUAMARINE
Aquamarine is a gem that, like emerald, belongs to the beryl mineral category. The name comes from Latin aqua marina “sea water” because its green-to-light blue colour recalls that of sea water. In mythology, aquamarine was Poseidon’s stone: sailors used to throw aquamarine amulets into the sea to avoid the god’s wrath.
TAHITIAN PEARL
Tahitian pearl takes the name from its geographical origin, the island of Tahiti. Also known as black pearl, its colour tends more towards charcoal, grey, silver or dark green. A fully black pearl is indeed very rare and extremely valuable.
18 Kt GOLD
Pure gold, as present in nature, is a malleable material. So, in order to be used in jewellery, it must be alloyed with other metals. As a consequence, gold can have different colorations: yellow gold requires additional alloys like brass, zinc and silver; in white gold, on the other hand, are used alloys of brass (in reduced amount compared to yellow gold) and palladium.
