The Richness of Red
Red is the color of life. Rojo in Spanish, it is the color of ecstasy and energy. In gems, red in its virgin form appears only in a select few gems. Ruby is the only gem in which the color red appears in all its richness and warmth. But not all rubies bear this fascinating shade.

A Blush of Pink
