Guide to Gemstones
The Epitome of Brilliance
Diamond
Daily Wear: Perfect for everyday wear due to their exceptional hardness and durability.
Diamonds are renowned for their unrivalled brilliance and timeless appeal. At Charles Edward Jewellers, we specialise in Triple Excellent Cut diamonds, which are cut to the highest standards to maximise their brilliance, fire, and scintillation. When choosing a diamond, consider the Four Cs—cut, colour, clarity, and carat weight—to find a stone that perfectly matches your preferences and budget. Our ethically sourced diamonds promise not only exceptional beauty but also a responsible choice.
Royal Elegance
Sapphire
Daily Wear: Highly durable, making them suitable for daily wear.
Sapphires are prized for their rich, deep blue hues, though they can also be found in a variety of other colours, including pink, yellow, and green. Known for their hardness and durability, sapphires are an excellent choice for both everyday wear and special occasions. At Charles Edward Jewellers, we offer sapphires that are carefully selected for their vivid colour and clarity, ensuring each stone exudes royal elegance.
Passion and Power
Ruby
Daily Wear: Very durable and perfect for frequent wear.
Rubies are synonymous with passion, love, and power. Their vibrant red colour makes them a striking choice for those who want to make a bold statement. Rubies are highly durable, making them perfect for rings and other pieces that receive frequent wear. Our collection features rubies that are handpicked for their intense colour and quality, each one a testament to nature’s fiery beauty.
Verdant Luxury
Emeralds
Daily Wear: Softer than other gemstones, better suited for occasional wear or in protective settings.
Emeralds captivate with their lush green hues and are often associated with renewal and growth. These gemstones are a symbol of luxury and sophistication. While emeralds are slightly softer than diamonds, sapphires, and rubies, their enchanting colour more than makes up for it. At Charles Edward Jewellers, we select emeralds that showcase the finest deep green shades, with minimal inclusions to ensure maximum brilliance and clarity.
