Introducing our Gem Cuts entries for Aurora 2026 💎âœĻ

From a hand-carved pyrope-almandine pair — mirrored profiles cut into a rare Figure shape at 4.79ct & 4.81ct — to a striking 53.02ct octagonal aquamarine, this collection is a study in what natural stone can become in the right hands.

Across the lineup: a velvety 10.23ct blue sapphire, a vivid 3.03ct cushion spinel, two chrysoberyls spanning citrus yellow to soft chartreuse, and a 12.25ct zircon cut so clean it reads like liquid light.

Every facet here was placed by hand, every proportion chosen to let the rough's own color and clarity lead the design. Proud to bring this range to the Gem Cuts category this year — swipe through and tell us which cut speaks to you. 👇

"It's a long way and a very difficult way." — Clement, on the journey of a gemstone.

We caught up with Clement at the Hong Kong show, fresh from our August Brazil expedition. Students went underground together and watched production happen at the mines.

His advice to future travellers is simple: understand the difficulty and the magic behind every stone, from the mine to the market, and you will be successful.

Our next field expedition takes us to Sri Lanka, November 27 – December 3.

If you don't go, you don't know.

Not all rubies are created equal 💎ðŸ”ī
Color, clarity, cutting, and carat — the four factors that separate a fine ruby from the rest. Swipe through our Essential Buying Guide to shop smarter.

Color: The highest-quality rubies have vivid color saturation. The color must be neither too dark nor too light to be considered finest quality. The ideal hue ranges from pure red to slightly purplish-red — stones that lean too orange or too purple are valued lower. The most prized color, often called "pigeon blood" red, is a vivid, slightly purplish red with strong saturation and medium-dark tone.

Clarity: Ruby value depends on how visible the inclusions are. Obvious inclusions, or inclusions that reduce transparency or brightness, lower a ruby's value dramatically. Nearly all natural rubies contain some inclusions and a completely flawless natural ruby is extremely rare and commands a significant premium. Inclusions are not automatically a flaw; what matters most is whether they affect brightness and transparency, and whether any fractures compromise the stone's durability.

Cutting: Rough ruby crystals commonly form in a flat, tabular hexagonal shape, though crystals from certain sources can be more elongated. Because of this flat rough shape, cutters often favor oval, cushion, or pillow shapes to maximize yield, while round brilliant cuts are comparatively rare and can command a premium. A well-cut ruby balances proportion and symmetry with the gem's dichroism.

Carat Weight: Fine-quality rubies over one carat are very rare, and commercial-quality rubies are commonly available in a wide range of sizes.

Your quick 5-step guide to choosing the Tsavorite Garnet! 💚âœĻ

Covering color, cut, clarity, carat weight, and treatment:

Color: Tsavorite is best prized for its rich, vivid green, with fresh mint green also being a popular choice.

Clarity: Tsavorite usually exhibits good clarity, though high clarity becomes rarer in larger sizes.

Cut: With a high refractive index, a well-cut Tsavorite can reveal ideal tone, brilliance and saturation.

Carat Weight: Rough Tsavorite is typically small.

Treatment: Thanks to its naturally high quality, Tsavorite typically requires no treatment.

There's a reason certain gems stop you in your tracks.

Meet chromium — a single trace element responsible for some of the most coveted colors in the gem kingdom. Swap it into a different mineral, and it transforms completely:

In corundum, it becomes ruby red.
In beryl, it deepens into emerald green.
In chrysoberyl, it performs a color-change trick — green in daylight, red under incandescent light. That's alexandrite.
In garnet, it works alongside iron to create demantoid's rare, fiery green.
In spinel, it glows as a vivid, saturated red.
In tourmaline, it produces the coveted chrome variety — richer and rarer than ordinary green tourmaline.

Six gems. One element. Nature's most versatile colorist.

An Unusual Sn(Tin) Glass-filled Ruby that gem professionals should Watch For!

This 0.95 ct ruby appeared to have undergone only traditional flux-assisted heat treatment. EDXRF analysis combined with X-ray imaging, however, confirmed that the stone was a tin (Sn) glass-filled ruby.

Lead (Pb) glass is the most commonly used filler, although other elements such as bismuth (Bi) and cobalt (Co) have been detected in treated rubies and sapphires encountered on the market.

Whereas traditional Pb glass-filled rubies commonly display obvious gas bubbles and orange/blue flash effects, neither feature was observed in this Sn glass-filled sample. The stone was therefore more difficult to identify, and gemologists should be wary of this apparently new type of glass filling.
