Ruby is a variant of corundum and a very valuable gemstone. Ruby owes its colour to a trace of chromic oxide; the amount of the oxide present determines the intensity of the color.

From there the stones came via trade routes to the courts and to the temples of the ancient Egyptians and Greeks.

The emerald has always been regarded as the 'king of gems'. The stone was already known thousands of years before Christ and emerald was extracted and used in jewelry, amulets, and art objects. Emeralds have been found in the burial chambers of Egyptian pharaohs. An emerald is often cloudy due to inclusions. The clearer the stone, the higher the price.

Sapphires have been beloved gemstones since the dawn of time, because of their great beauty and extraordinary characteristics. All blue stones used to be called ''Sapphire''. Blue Sapphire gets its color from titanium and iron oxides; the depth of the color is determined by the oxide percentage. The Sapphire is said to grant its owner strength, honor, and immortality.

Diamond gets its name because of its hardness, there is nothing with equal hardness, so it is almost imperishable. How a diamond is judged is quite subjective. A pure diamond is colorless. Usually, it applies; the less colour, the purer, so the more valuable. Certain relatively common discolorations, such as yellow, lower the value of the diamond. Of course, these stones will still be valuable.

  Wat ben ik blij met de gouden naamhanger van mijn dochter Nina. Hij is zo origineel en bijzonder. Regelmatig krijg ik te horen wat een leuke hanger ik om heb en als ik de hanger dan kantel en ze zien de naam Nina staan dan zijn ze helemaal enthousiast! Een echte aanrader, deze prachtige ketting. Fijn ook dat ik een goed advies kreeg over het collier. Het is sterk, fijn en mooi, een prachtig geheel geworden! Top en bedankt Margriet!
