The deeper story

Stone Story

Fine rubies, particularly Mogok stones, display strong red fluorescence under ultraviolet light and in natural daylight, causing the stone to appear to glow from within. That fluorescence is part of what separates top-quality ruby from other red gemstones visually. The color is there in all of them; the inner light is not.

Industry Insight

For jewelry meant to feel secure on the body, a Safety Hook clasp gives useful reassurance. Its hinged closure requires a two-step opening action, reducing the chance that the piece releases by accident.

Visually Speaking

Chinese, Japanese, and Indian decorative traditions contributed jade, coral, lacquer, and carved rock crystal to Art Deco jewelry's vocabulary. They appeared alongside Western diamonds and platinum in a fusion that reflected the period's genuine fascination with non-Western aesthetics and the global trade that made it possible.
