colored gemstones
Colored gemstones are emerging as a popular choice for engagement rings. One of the highlights of the British Crown Jewels collection is a 353.50 carat Timur Ruby inscribed with the names of previous owners including the Mughal Emperors. The estate auction for Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis included a 17.68 carat ruby ring which sold for $290,000 and a 47 carat kunzite ring that sold for over $400,000. Marlene Dietrich was rumored to have lost her 37.4 carat emerald ring while baking a cake, but it was found as they cut it. Jean Harlow and Joan Crawford both had a strong affection for sapphires.
