Pearls, unique among gemstones, are organic creations formed within the shells of mollusks. Their soft, iridescent luster and classic beauty have captivated cultures for millennia. Composed of layers of nacre, pearls vary in shape, size, and color, with white and cream being the most traditional. With a relatively low hardness on the Mohs scale, they require gentle care. Valued for their natural elegance and timeless appeal, pearls are a symbol of purity and sophistication.

Ruby, the "king of gemstones," is a variety of the mineral corundum, renowned for its intense red hue. This vibrant color, caused by trace amounts of chromium, ranges from deep crimson to a slightly purplish-red. With a hardness of 9 on the Mohs scale, ruby is exceptionally durable. Its rarity, combined with its striking beauty and historical significance, makes it one of the most valuable and sought-after gemstones in the world. Rubies are a symbol of passion, love, and power.
