Birthstones


Fine jewellery, whilst higher in monetary value, is also steeped in historical & mythical significance. A piece of jewellery frequently has a particular aura that does not fade; it is with this that we mark the milestones of our lives—friendships, birthdays, engagement, marriage, parenthood, travels, traditions, significant milestones, and of course love.

Sarah, the Director of Orsini, has researched these gemstones. Both the modern and ancient birthstones, as well as the sentiments that go with these gemstones.
