The beautiful green of emeralds

Considered by the Romans as “the stone of love”, the Emerald is a symbol of fidelity and reliability. Found in bright green, with overtones from yellow to bluish, this gem was often used by Cleopatra – who believed she found in it the eternal beauty of Venus. It is worth saying that the more transparent, intensely colored and with fewer inclusions, the more valuable it is.

All the sophistication of Citrino

Known as the “brother of amethyst”, citrine is found in different tones, in orange, yellow, yellowish brown, brownish red and cognac (also known as Rio Grande Citrine). The refinement in the cutting of the stone, which is mostly found in Brazil, enhances its beauty even more.

Paraíba Tourmaline: differentiated and rare

First seen in Brazil in the 80s, in the northeastern state that bears its name, Paraíba Tourmaline is a very rare stone. It differs from other tourmalines by having small traces of copper in its composition, which makes it reflect a luminous effect known as “neon”. Of blue, blue-green and blue-green tones, the darkest are considered more valuable and are rarer to be found in nature.

the exotic amethyst

Amethyst is the oldest precious stone on record, used by man for over 25 years and its main producing country in the world is Brazil. This gem is of great beauty and one of the most popular for its affordable price. It is noteworthy that the proper cutting makes it possible to highlight its beauty. The gem is found in violet color, with reddish or bluish nuances and the intensity of the purple tone makes it even more valuable.

Rubelite

Coveted by the international market, for being one of the few stones found naturally in red, the smooth shine of Rubellite enchants everyone who seeks softness when composing the look with a jewel. The gem is a variation of Tourmaline, which in pink tones is called “Pink Tourmaline”. The value of your piece is related to the purity of the red, so the more intense it is, the harder it is to be found – and consequently the greater the added value.

The exquisite work of handmade pieces highlights the richness and beauty of Brazilian gems.
