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.
DIAMOND
From Greek Adamas, unconquerable, the name diamond refers to the hardness of this precious gem. Diamond is the crystalized form of carbon, formed below the Earth’s surface over billions of years; indeed, it needs high pression and temperature to crystallize.
Diamond is always been considered a symbol of love: the roman emperor Maximilian I started this tradition by gifting his beloved Mary of Burgundy with a diamond ring.
