GEMSTONES

Once sculpted and polished, gemstones are MINERALS attractive enough to be used as personal adornment. Their value is determined by their beauty, hardness and rarity, and our most INNOVATIVE DESIGNS are inspired by their INTENSE COLORS.

BEAUTY

Properties such as color, sparkle or transparency are associated with the beauty of gemstones.

“AT TOUS, WE WORK WITH COLOR GEMSTONES FOR THEIR BEAUTY, RATHER THAN FOR THEIR VALUE OR CLARITY. VARIATION BECOMES A HALLMARK OF EACH PIECE’S UNIQUENESS.”

ROSA ORIOL

DURABILITY

Related to resistance to impact and friction with other materials and the color stability.

RARITY

The scarcity or rarity of gemstones increases their value.

CUT

Cut is aimed at drawing out the mineral properties as much as possible: color, transparency, shine, dispersion, weight and special effects. We generally define two cut styles: cabochon cut and faceted cut.
