With the arrival of July comes the launch of An exciting new Gemfields’ jewellery collaboration! This time, we have partnered with ethically minded label Zoe & Morgan. Started by sisters Zoe, Morgan and Ruth in 2005, the brand now has shops in the UK and New Zealand and has made a name for itself all over the world with its designs inspired by tribal patterns and its cool, contemporary aesthetic.

Long associated with passion, prosperity and protection – and, of course, with the sunny days of summer – rubies are special indeed. Formed deep beneath the earth’s surface some 500 million years ago, they are the rarest and most valuable of coloured gemstones, and often cost more per carat than diamonds. Their name deriving from the Latin “ruber”, or red, rubies have been adored by everyone from the ancient Chinese who revered the “lucky” colour red, to Hindu cultures who described them as “the king of gemstones” in early Sanskrit texts, to the Hollywood A-listers who wore them in such abundance at this year’s awards season that they gave new meaning to the words “red carpet”! Margot Robbie, Jennifer Lopez and Sandra Bullock are just a few of those lucky enough to have rubies as their birthstone. “There is no coloured gemstone that fuels pass...
