Like the resounding stillness of the deep forest, a green sapphire or gemstone brings verdant sparkle to any engagement ring or piece of fine jewelry. While blue sapphires are perhaps the best-known iteration, these diverse gemstones come in all kinds of colors, including deep, mossy greens. Just like any colored diamond, a green diamond captures the spectrum from deep evergreen to pale seedling. When paired with bright white diamonds, green gemstones evoke a canopy of leaves dappled with sunlight.

Pink evokes the first buds of spring, gradually bringing color back to a barren landscape. While pink, like other gemstones, comes in a variety of shades, the hue most common in our collection is inspired by nature. A pink sapphire or a pink diamond from our collection may appear more mauve with brownish undertones, sunset bright with orange undertones, or soft and pale like the petals of a cherry blossom. A pink diamond engagement ring is decidedly romantic, adding a touch of warmth to some of Melanie’s most beloved designs.

Like sand and stone, natural tints encapsulate the earth beneath our feet, the very place where these stones are created (unless they are lab grown diamonds and gemstones, of course!) A champagne diamond is the most notable example of this subtle coloring, featuring an antique glow like sepia photographs. A gray diamond adds a hint of dark sparkle, while salt and pepper diamonds make use of their inclusions with a unique and desirable patina-like finish.

Unlike other gemstones, a pearl is not so much sparkling as it is luminous, much like an untouched stretch of snow glistening in the moonlight. Designer Melanie Casey loves to combine the white glow of a pearl with the bright sparkle of a white diamond, as their differences draw your attention to what sets them apart. A pearl ring in a ring stack adds a touch of luminous contrast, while pearl earrings remain a timeless classic. A pearl statement ring, like the Snowdrift Ring, Akoya Pearl, makes a snowy statement as an engagement ring or right-hand ring.
