Its vitreous luster creates a fascinating and unmistakable »dense and cloudy« effect, reminiscent of olive oil: hence the origin of the term olivine, another name used in jewelry for this gem. It used to commemorate the 16th wedding anniversary. Having been found in meteorites, Peridot has always been associated with light. In fact, the Egyptians called it the »gem of the sun«. Some believed that it protected its owner from »terrors of the night«, especially when it was set in gold. Some Peridot samples are truly ancient as they come from meteorites that have travelled our solar systems from the time it began forming. Peridot, associated with the month of August, is believed to instill power. ➡️ Create your own

Ruby

Ruby comes from the Latin word »rubens« meaning red. Rubies are made of corundum. Corundum comes in many other colors, but those colors are classified as sapphires. Rubies symbolize power and protection. When worn as a talisman, ruby was believed to help protect warriors in battle. It is the birthstone for the month of July. ➡️ Create your own

Sapphire

The word sapphire is derived from the Latin and Greek words for »blue«: sapphirus and sappheiros, which may have originally referred to another type of blue stone called Lapis Lazuli. Sapphire is the birthstone for the month September.
When you think of sapphires, you probably think of a rich blue color, but sapphires actually come in almost every color of the rainbow—including pink, peach, orange, yellow, green, teal, and purple. Red sapphires are known as rubies (both are varieties of the mineral corundum).
Classic blue sapphires contain iron and titanium, and trace elements of chromium can turn corundum pink, while more chromium turns it into a ruby. The only natural item that can scratch a sapphire is a diamond. ➡️ Create your own
