Prong

A prong setting puts the emphasis on the stone and not the metal supporting it by employing narrow strips of metal to lift the stone up and allowing the facets of the gemstone to catch light

Pave

The pave uses a carpet of tiny gemstones to pave or encrust the body of the jewelry piece. The stones are set flush with the surface of the metal which emphasizes a mass effect rather than a single stone.

Citrine

Citrine has been called the "stone of the mind", because of the ancient belief that placing a citrine on the forehead of an elder could bring him great psychic powers. Some cultures believed that citrine attracts abundance on all levels. In addition, citrine was believed to offer protection against evil thoughts and snake venom in ancient times.

Tsavorite

Tsavorite was only recently discovered in the 1969 in the Tsavo National Park area in Kenya, Africa. It is a grossular family of garnets, which also include the extremely rare Demantoid Garnet. Garnets are believed to provide for safety to travelers on journeys. In Biblical recordings, Noah used a Garnet lantern to guide the Ark.

Diamond

Romantic in history and symbolic of love, diamond is of course the most famous, popular, and hardest of all gemstones. Diamonds were reputed by the Greeks to endow the wearer with purity, love and joy. Some cultures believed that diamond enhances energies of the mind, body and spirit on the highest levels.
