JULY NEWSLETTER
2015
Rubies, the birthstone of July, are considered the king
of gems and represent love, health and wisdom. It
was believed that wearing a fine red Ruby bestowed
good fortune on its owner. A Ruby is the most
valuable gemstone and its value increases based on
its colour and quality.

Sapphire
Sapphire is the classic blue gemstone and a favourite
among many. The brooch below features the “Starry
Night Sapphire,” a beautiful example of a truly
mesmerizing phenomenon: a six-rayed star. This 111.96
carat unheated Burmese blue star sapphire is
reminiscent of the blue sky in van Gogh’s painting of the
same name and evokes a similar dreamy quality.
Interesting Fact: one of the most well-known sapphires is
in the engagement ring that belonged to Diana Spencer
and now Kate Middleton (Diana, Princess of Wales and
Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge respectively).
