How to Wear RingsRHODIUM PLATING
Rhodium plating is a process whereby jewellery is submerged into a heated chemical solution containing a metal called rhodium, which is rarer than gold. When a current is applied to the solution, a chemical bonding reaction takes place and the rhodium is pulled from the liquid and is applied to the jewellery. Too soft to make jewellery from, rhodium is perfect for plating and gives off a brilliant silver colour. Rhodium is, however, harder than both silver and gold and is an excellent protective coating to shield against scratches.
GEMOLOGY
Lab-grown emeralds are known for having the same chemical and gemological composition as a natural emerald. Our lab-grown emeralds are Biron Synthetic Emeralds. These are emeralds created in a lab, using a hydrothermal method. These emeralds have the best quality and clarity, superior to a natural emerald which have many imperfections, faults or cracks, otherwise known as 'inclusions.'
The Ruby was the first gemstone to be made artificially. Our Biron Synthetic Rubies are rubies created in a lab, using a hydrothermal method. They have the same chemical and gemological composition as a natural ruby. Biron Rubies also appear brighter and more vivid than natural rubies. Their quality and clarity are far superior to natural rubies which have many imperfections, faults or cracks, otherwise known as ‘inclusions.’ Ruby is also very durable and second only to Diamond in hardness. This means that it is the second hardest natural substance on Earth!
Lab-grown sapphires have the same chemical and gemological composition as a natural sapphire, which is cut from the crystalline form of Aluminium Oxide, called Corundum. Sapphires are grown in a lab using either a flame fusion or hydrothermal process. In flame fusion, a flame melts aluminium oxide powder. The melted droplets form into a long teardrop shape called a ‘boule.’ The addition of other minerals to the aluminium oxide can create the coloured varieties of sapphire. On the other hand, the hydrothermal process is a solution process that closely mimics natural formation, subjecting the minerals to intense heat and pressure, whereby sapphires end up forming around a seed crystal in the solution.
Sapphires with slight variations in different elements can be found in a broad range of colours including clear, green, yellow, gold, purple, peach, or a mix of colours (Parti Sapphires). Blue sapphires owe their colour to titanium and iron. White sapphires owe theirs to a lack of iron, chromium, beryllium and titanium in their composition. Red or pink sapphires contain chromium. Red sapphire has a higher content of chromium and is widely referred to as a Ruby. Sapphire is also very durable and second only to Diamond in hardness. This means that it is the second hardest natural substance on Earth!
Mozambique Garnets look like a darker ruby to the un-trained eye but are in fact generally an even blend of Almandine and Pyrope Garnet. They are believed to be the ultimate declaration of love. These gemstones have a high refractive index, giving them an exceptional brilliance. Even in unfavourable lighting conditions, well cut Mozambique Garnets will sparkle vividly. Garnets were thought to cure depression, protect against bad dreams and relieve diseases of the liver, as well as haemorrhages. Our Mozambique Garnets come from Cuamba in Mozambique’s Niassa Province. One of the most popular Garnets, Mozambique Garnet of a high quality is challenging to consistently obtain and as a single country gemstone, its genuine rarity is undeniable. Mozambique Garnet is also a totally natural gemstone and not enhanced or treated in anyway.
Topaz is naturally a colourless stone, however, it can be treated with high-energy electron or gamma radiation and then heated to produce a variety of stunning blue hues. Today, it is the variation of this very procedure which yields topaz in a wide range of blue colours, the most popular being London Blue and Swiss Blue. The radiation treatment is safe. The stones are held in a secure facility after treatment and monitored until their residual radiation declines to a level that is safe for use in jewellery.
Aquamarine is a gemstone variety of Beryl, just like emerald. It is the iron content within, that gives this stone its colour of pale blue The colour of top-quality natural aquamarine can be very light to moderately dark, dependant on the iron content within. Deeper colours can be produced through heat treatment. Aquamarine is also considered to be the stone of Courage. It helps to calm and soothe the nerves and reduce fear.
Diamonds are a solid form of carbon and have the highest hardness and thermal conductivity of any natural material. These stones have incredible durability and resistance against scratches and breakage from impacts. Diamond has high optical dispersion qualities, to help disperse an array of colours and to give off that sparkle. The intensity of the sparkle is assisted by the type of cut, by varying the number of facets. Diamonds come in a range of grades and colours. You can learn more about the types of cuts, grades and colours here.

You can easily determine your own ring size with a measuring tape or a cord. To measure, simply place the cord (or the measuring tape) around the finger where you want to put the ring. The point along the cord where the tip meets should be marked. Ensure that the cord is snug around your finger, but not tight and compressing the skin, as this will cause your ring to be too tight.
