Blue Beauty

In the truest sense of the word blue, how can one go wrong with such a ring? On the contrary, this is not an engagement ring. Simply, a client who appreciates a pure unheated gem, untainted by man, unrivalled in beauty. Stunning on its own, needing not much more than a simple setting of one halo of diamonds to accentuate this blue beauty.

Crafted in 18K white gold, this is truly a piece to be handed over to the next generation.

Kunzite engagement ring

An engagement ring does not necessarily have to be a precious gemstone, although that is quite a common choice.

Our client was looking for a light, powder pink gemstone that wears larger on the fingers. They chose a Kunzite, just under 7cts, which is a very good, large size for an engagement ring.

Featuring a Kunzite that has fine lustre and brilliance, this ring is definitely eye-catching. As with most engagement rings, the look that they were going for was simple but stunning. So a simple halo of diamonds would be the most complementary to this fine baby pink kunzite.

Peridot – the birthstone of August babies

What a spectacular, refreshing colour on this peridot. Almost vivid green, this peridot caught the eye of an endearing husband looking to gift his wife for her birthday, handcrafted fine jewellery. Though not just simply fine jewellery, but he was looking for a piece that features her birthstone.

Peridot is the birthstone of those born in August – the best colours of peridots come in vivid green with a tint of gold.

Though “classified” as a “semi-precious” gem, this does not mean the gem is any less striking or beautiful than a “precious” gem. A true sparkler that will light up a room just as much as any precious gemstone.

Again, true to our in-house quality, this peridot meets our minimum in-house requirement of colour, brilliance, lustre, clarity and cut.

Colour, colour, colour

Regardless of size, colour is the most important criteria, followed by brilliance and clarity when it comes to assessing a gem. Though smaller than the usual size of an engagement ring, this unheated sapphire meets all our in-house requirements. A deep royal blue colour – fitting of the lady who spearheaded the hunt for her unheated sapphire engagement ring. We hope she loves her ring.

Pearls for every woman

Not only do we source for fine quality gemstones, Heritage Gems also has access to natural south sea pearls. Natural south sea pearls come in a variety of colours, ranging from champagne to silver white to cream, tahitian grey and peacock-coloured pearls. Pearl jewellery make for a classic, timeless gift that a lady can wear for now and in the years to come.

As Coco Chanel once said “A woman needs ropes and ropes of pearls.” And who can forget Jackie Kennedy’s love of pearls: “Pearls are always appropriate.”

A special client of ours wanted to surprise his wife with a gift on her birthday. A necklace and earring peal set that she could wear on semi-casual occasions and when they go on dates. How romantic!

After careful selection of the pearls to ensure consistent colour, lustre and correct size, the pearls were then chosen to ensure all 7 pearls had as little blemish as possible.

There were several options provided during design discussion process. Fancy-cut marquise diamonds were also proposed to match our client’s face shape. Fancy-cut setting size diamonds are always a premium price to regular round setting size diamonds.

Mixing two design elements – star ruby ring

Our client was looking for something modern, refreshing and definitely did not want the usual gemstone ring surrounded by round diamonds.

One of our star rubies caught her eye. Although the gemstone itself is round, she wanted a design that was very contemporary, with lots of straight lines visually to alleviate the roundness of the gem.

Though our client does not reside in Singapore, this did not stop us from creating that bespoke piece that fit her well.

Crafted in solid 18K white gold, we decided to use baguette diamonds to accentuate the beauty of this ruby instead. Not your typical style, yet simple, gorgeous and eye-catching, this cocktail ring is definitely a head-turner.

With a shank wide enough to be worn on the middle (3rd) finger, this piece of jewellery makes for an excellent cocktail ring, even when the occasion is not ultra formal or dressy.
