The Morganite Collection
We’re peachy keen about Morganites! Oozing with orange and pink tones this desirable gemstone has become a firm favourite over the years. They are part of the Beryl family such as their siblings Aquamarines and Emeralds.
Jessica’s first morganite bespoke ring was a warming Rose Gold beauty with a twisted shank that wrapped around a vine inspired setting. This is where her love for Morganites bloomed!
Morganites are a clever option for customers who want the “peach effect” in a Sapphire but looking for a more affordable price point.
They need to be worn with care, and if you’re looking for a tougher gemstone take a look at our peach sapphires!
About Morganites
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
We would always recommend taking care when wearing your morganite ring. Taking it off when washing, showering and any strenuous activities is advised to prolong their beautiful aesthetic.
To retain that beautiful peachy tone, we recommend a baby toothbrush and warm soapy water to gently clean the centre stone. Always use a small bowl to do this as we definitely don’t want any plug hole accidents!
