Ruby - The King of Gems
Originally posted on June 29th, 2017 Updated April 13th, 2020 The title is no joke. Rubies in the Sanskrit language are called Ratanaraj, the king of precious stones. Ruby is one of the rarest gemstones in the world. Ruby costs more per carat than any other gemstone. It is a variety of the gem species corundum, which is also related to Sapphire, another impressive variety of corundum.

How to Clean Jewelry at Home
Originally written on May 18th, 2020 Updated April 17th, 2020 Since I started working for Moijey Fine Jewelry & Diamonds, I have the good fortune of writing about gemstones and their remarkable qualities and origin stories. Daniel Moijueh and I can also talk about different aspects of gemstones. For example, how mining for aquamarine begins and the history of diamond cutting, both of which are quite fascinating. What most people don't think about is how to maintain their jewelry's luster and sparkle. Sometimes, when my career as a gemologist comes up in conversation, people would describe their jewelry to...

The official and the only birthstone for the much welcome month of May, emeralds have always been revered. "Emerald" originates from the Greek "smaragdus," which means, I am not...
The Cutting Edge of Diamonds - Part 1
Quite literally, in this case. One of the most incredible things about April’s birthstone is that it is one of the hardest gemstones on the planet. Fifty-eight times harder than anything else, to be precise. Because of the diamond's crystallized resilience, diamonds can only cut other diamonds. That's right, the hardest item found in nature can only be cut the hardest item found in nature, and recently, lasers can cut and facet diamonds to a wide variety of shapes. It is fascinating how diamond cutting and the technology involved has developed over the course of centuries. The following diamond cuts...
Diamonds: From The Beginning
Originally posted on April 5th, 2017 Updated on April 2nd, 2020 Where in the world do we start talking about diamonds? How can we begin to describe the glories of a gemstone composed of carbon? That's right. Diamonds are composed of carbon, which develops in minerals where carbon is always present. It appears that the best way to start talking about diamonds is where and how they form deep in the earth, like this diamond encased in kimberlite, which we'll talk about momentarily. Diamonds, the symbol of everlasting romance, need to endure extraordinary temperatures and tremendous amounts of pressure to...
