Care for Emeralds:
Do not use an ultrasonic cleaner on emerald jewelry. Rather, scrub with a soft toothbrush and lukewarm water with a mild dish-washing soap. Use the brush to get into those hard-to-reach areas and clean them thoroughly. Rinse and dry the jewelry with a soft clean micro-fiber cloth.
Never wear your emeralds while showering, swimming or sleeping. Always put your jewelry on after you’ve applied make-up, hairspray or perfume, or the chemicals may damage the emeralds. Emerald jewelry can be easily scratched, so be sure to store it separately from other gemstones.
Emerald, Gem of Spring
Emerald is a gemstone known for its bright green color and is the birthstone for May. It also marks a couple’s 35th wedding anniversary.
Emerald is a member of the beryl family colored green by trace amounts of chromium and sometimes vanadium. Beryls have a hardness of 7.5-8 on the Mohs scale, but most emeralds are highly included so their toughness is classified as generally poor. Emerald is the rarest of all gemstones and so is valued accordingly. They are mined all over the world, primarily in Central & South America and Africa.

Amethyst Floral Ring, 18KY
This fanciful ring showcases both the intricacies of metalwork, and how a ring is more than just a gemstone on a band. It is a work of art, where stone and metal harmonize to make an impact greater than each on it’s own.
The floral/leaf motif has been a longtime staple of Laurie Donovan designs, and can be applied to a variety of underlying styles, including our popular wrap ring. Shown here with a six prong setting cradling a 9mm, 2.5ct Amethyst with three .08ct diamonds, this ring is a stunning addition to any collection.

Himmeli Earrings with Garnet
Garnets are often named after the location where they are found. Umba River garnet is from the Umba Valley of Tanzania. They are a mixture of pyrope and spessartite and display a gorgeous orange-red garnet. It is also known as Umbalite garnet and is a relatively new gemstone to the market.
Tanzanite
Tanzanite is a rich blue-violet colored gemstone from Tanzania and one of December’s birthstones. We have many loose tanzanite gemstones for collectors to pick from or for a unique piece of jewelry designed and made in our workshop. We also have ear studs to match this pendant.
