Written In The Stars ✨
For millennia, civilisations the world over have imbued gemstones with mystical properties, connecting them to the celestial—planets, zodiac signs, constellations—and the earthly, using them to mark life’s significant milestones. Over time, gems have also become intertwined with legends, their stories passed down through generations, giving each stone not only mystical properties but a rich cultural significance that endures across time and place.
Our Written in the Stars collection draws upon this ancient and enduring belief in using gemstones as symbols of power, protection, and manifestation. Inspired by jewels that have become woven into legend such as Cleopatra’s Emeralds representing abundance, fertility, and immortality, Helen of Troys Star Sapphire that was said to be the source of her incomparable beauty, and the Black Princes Ruby (that was actually a Spinel) that Medieval Kings believed offered protection and courage on the battlefield, these full eternity rings are more than just jewellery—they are talismans.
Birthstones are hugely popular, and have long been believed to carry the cosmic energy of the stars, linking those born under specific constellations to the unique power of their gemstone. Each stone is thought to hold celestial properties that align with the individual's birth month, but you don’t have to be limited to just one gemstone.
In Vedic astrology, Navaratnas (nine stones), are believed to be deeply connected to the planets and stars, influencing an individual’s fate and destiny from the moment of their birth. According to this ancient practice, each gemstone corresponds to a celestial body. By wearing the gemstones associated with one’s astrological chart, individuals can balance the energies of the cosmos, drawing strength, protection, and positive influence from the planets that rule their lives.
There’s something profoundly captivating about gazing up at the night sky—the endless expanse of stars has always sparked a sense of wonder, mystery, and connection to the universe. Similarly, when you hold a gemstone in your hand, you experience that same wonder, as though you're holding a piece of the cosmos itself, and in some cases you are, there are planets where it rains Rubies, and Moissanites and Peridots have both arrived on Earth in meteorites. It’s no surprise that cultures across the world have long drawn a connection between the two.
Our Written in the Stars range celebrates this ancient relationship, in seamlessly set continuous rivers of colour, with the gemstones and their time honoured associated properties inscribed on their bands, making it easy to choose the perfect gemstones for you.
