Stories from Our Experts
Ageless Design: Gem Engraving
May 4, 2022
Gem engraving and carving are techniques that have been used by civilisations across the globe, both ancient and modern, to decorate gem material and also add a level of functionality. One can still find many surviving examples of ancient Roman and Greek carved gems in museums to this day. Intaglio, meaning carving, is the method used to incise gems with shapes, patterns or designs. Inversely, cameos are carvings in relief which stand out from their background, giving a three-dimensional effect.
The Riches of the Ruby
October 24, 2022
Even as specialists seeing and examining jewellery every day we never cease to be fascinated by and in awe of gemstones. They take years and years to be formed in the depths of the earth and through the extraordinary dynamics of nature. Over the centuries they have been imbued by lore, symbolism, ritual and powers. Then as an adornment they have been carefully crafted into a piece of ‘art’ as a fashion and style statement.
