A collection of high-quality Star Sapphires. ⭐️
These pieces are all unheated and untreated. What makes a Sapphire a STAR? Tiny microscopic needle-like inclusions within the stone reflects light, appearing as intersecting rays.
⭐️
Why are these stars superior? The sharper and more centered/even the star, the higher its quality becomes! These are hand selected by Clyde after viewing hundreds of potential stars.
The last slide features the same lot under UV light! 🌀✨

Have you seen these Star Sapphires before? ⭐️ Let us know down in the comments!

Trapiche Gemstones! 🌀✨ Have you ever heard of this insane gemstone formation?! Learn about this ultra rare and fascinating phenomenon! 🕸️

This 6 sided spoke wheel-like crystal phenomenon happens, by gemstone, due to varying, special geological conditions. This makes these stones exceptionally rare. Some are “true-trapiches,” their formation matches a set of rules to make them proper trapiches. Some are “trapiche-like” where they look very similar to trapiches but are not technically true trapiches.
Regardless, they are all trapiches in the trade and are all amazing collectors pieces, or chic jewelry statements!

My personal favorites are the Ruby trapiches! ❤️

Jewelry can be worn as a way to express ourselves, so I especially adore unique and interesting jewelry. After all, jewelry is art! 🌠
I love creating bespoke jewelry for you because I get to be part of the process of bringing your dream pieces to life. From the first idea to the finished piece, it’s so special to create something that reflects your personal style, tells your story, or represents a meaningful time in your life. 💞

After one year in Bangkok, my gem network has grown and so has my passion for gemstones! 💎❤️‍🔥😍 One of my favorite things is to see many colorful gems together, I love to appreciate how many colors they can come in! 🌈

One of my recent favs is the GORGEOUS Malaya and Rhodolite garnets!! 🩷🤍💜
Here was one of my gem boxes filled with only GARNETS at one point! 😍

These are the many colors of SAPPHIRE! No! They aren’t just blue, but ALL COLORS! 🌈 These exceptional gemstones are all from Madagascar, and their colors are famously vivid. The crazy thing is that they’re completely untreated and unheated, their colors are completely natural!❤️‍🔥

My birthstone: Sapphires are for sure my favs!🥹

Some stones you wouldn’t expect to be many colors, these are all Zircons! But look at how many colors they come in! Some Zircons can even CHANGE COLOR! 👀

Stunning Chrysoberyls! I think they are gorgeous, and their yellow to greenish hue is spectacular! I especially love silky chrysoberyls! ✨✨🩵💙💚💛

One of the Malaya garnets from my personal collection. ❤️‍🔥 Some stones I just cannot let go.
This beautiful 2+ct Malaya garnet shows a beautiful color shift property when exposed to different light sources! She also glows under UV light, which can be called a “dragon garnet” in the trade! These are exceptionally rare.

From purplish pink - peach! 🍑✨

Learn about Chrysoberyl! 💛🩵💚

- Despite its name, Chrysoberyl is actually not a Beryl like Emerald and Aquamarine. Chrysoberyl is a beryllium aluminum oxide mineral!
- Chrysoberyl was popular in Victorian-era jewelry!
- There are different varieties of Chrysoberyl: Alexandrite (displays color-change), Vanadium Chrysoberyl and Cat’s-Eye (displays chatoyancy) Chrysoberyl!

Commend down below which one is your favorite!

This is my true passion, and when I see a gemstone I love it’s a feeling I know immediately. 💞💠
There have been times when I feel like I want to cry (and have) because of how incredible and beautiful a gemstone is! When you buy a gemstone, sometimes it’s not about how high quality the stone may be or how the trade or the others see it, it’s about your personal initial and lasting feeling about the stone.

My personal favorites are unique and odd gemstones, some may display phenomenon or bright colors! A truly rare gemstone is one you cannot get again, which is why I love the odd ones!

What is a gemstone you can never forget?💖 Tell me the story in the comments, I’d love to know! :)
