Men have adorned their bodies long before women, and many of the jewelry designs today are inspired by ancient symbolism and fashion. Although jewelry houses have mainly focused on styles for women for the past two centuries, in recent years we’ve seen a rising trend of men wearing not just traditionally masculine styles but also gender fluid designs, such as beads and pearl necklaces.

It is believed that the first gemstone discoveries were accidental finds, stumbled upon by hunter-gatherers in streams or mud. Even unpolished, their color has fascinated human beings since the beginning of time.
Since the early 1900’s the signs of the zodiac, and more specifically months of birth, have been linked to gemstones. July is the month allocated to Rubies, so thought this would be a good time to tell you more about our favorite gem.
What’s not to love about these exquisite gems? Commonly known to be blue, sapphires actually come in a variety of colors; they can be colorless, yellow, green, orange, black, purple, pink and everything in between.
