Switzerland: Baselworld

Excited to be at Baselworld again, looking for gemstones and diamonds.  

A big, beautiful no heat Ceylon sapphire. The colour is spectacular. Many gemstones on the market are heated to enhance their natural colour, so the point is made when a stone has not undergone any enhancement.   

A ruby that is the colour of pigeon's blood is the most sought after. This is also a no heat stone. Very beautiful. 

These sapphires, a cornflower blue and a pale peach are both lovely natural colours. No heat. 

An apricot coloured sapphire with great character. 

After looking for many loose stones and considering how each one would be designed into a piece of special jewelry, we began to develop an idea for a new collection using ruby, blue sapphire and diamond beads. The pieces will be wearable for every day or out on the town.  We love the simplicity of a floating diamond on your skin. We're thinking of calling the collection "Naked Gems".

These are lines of diamond beads.  

Flowers make us happy!
