Peridot

Peridot was first mined exclusively on Topazios Island in the Red Sea as early as 300 BCE. Revered by the Egyptians as the "gem of the sun," it was believed to hold protective powers when set in gold as a talisman. Also known as the "Evening Emerald" in ancient times, the finest peridots display a radiant green with a subtle golden undertone, these lush hues embody peridot’s true splendor.

Peridot has a hardness of 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale. This makes it relatively durable for use in jewelry, though it can be prone to scratching compared to harder gemstones like sapphires or diamonds.

Garnet

Garnet refers to a group of gemstones treasured in jewelry since the Bronze Age. Their name derives from the Latin granatus, inspired by their resemblance to pomegranate seeds in both shape and color. With multiple species and varieties, garnets are found in a stunning array of colors.

Garnets have a hardness of 6.5 to 7.5 on the Mohs scale, making them relatively hard and suitable for use in jewelry.

σάπφειρος・September

Sapphire

Sapphires have captivated mystics, royalty, and jewelers for millennia, symbolizing wisdom and nobility. As a variety of the corundum mineral, they are prized for their brilliant color and exceptional durability. While most commonly blue, sapphires come in nearly every color of the rainbow, from pinks and yellows to greens and even rare colorless stones. The only exception is red—those are rubies, a related gem. Believed to offer protection and calm, sapphires have been cherished for their beauty and symbolism throughout history. Whether in classic blue or unique hues, they remain a timeless treasure in fine jewelry.

With a hardness of 9, sapphires are exceptionally durable, making them one of our top choices for everyday wear. Their toughness (ability to resist breaking or cleaving under pressure) is excellent, even superior to diamonds.

Corundum・July

Ruby

Rubies speak to our inner softness and physical sensibility. Burgeoning with sanguine and rosy color, these stones are charged with vitality and emotional potency. As one of the cardinal gemstones, they are salient, dynamic and saturated in living energy.

Rubies, like sapphires, are a variety of corundum and have a hardness of 9 on the Mohs scale, making them one of the hardest gemstones, second only to diamonds. This exceptional durability makes rubies ideal for everyday wear in fine jewelry.
