  Rubies Part 2

  Jul 23, 20261h 39mS1

  Thank you for joining us for this month of July! We hope you've enjoyed our ruby episodes as much as we have enjoyed putting them together. This episode we discuss the science and values side of things and Kate gets into why she's a little wary of this beautiful gemstone. Spoiler alert, it's all because of the variety of clarity and colour enhancing treatments that can be found within the ruby world. We also chat a bit about Liz Taylor because we can't discuss rubies without addressing her gorgeous collection. For this week's episode our thumbnail is of a synthetic ruby. So for those of you who are curious what a synthetic ruby looks like, now you have a great example of one! We have of course added some additional resources below, as well as our contact details and our Buy Me A Coffee link if you feel so inclined. We hope you enjoy the last of our July episodes and are excited for next month which is all about peridot!

  Alexandrites Part 1

  Jun 11, 20261h 3mS1

  Welcome the month of June! This birthstone is Alexandrite, a very unique and rare variety of chrysoberyl and our first phenomenal gemstone of the year. This episode we talk about not only Alexandrite's origins but we give you some context for chrysoberyl and go into a little detail about just what a phenomenal gemstone is. We would like to wish all of our June babies a very happy birthday and to let you know that if Alexandrite is a bit out of your budget, you have two alternative birthstones that you can still enjoy: moonstone and pearl!
