Emerald

The deep green sparkle of emerald has mesmerized people since antiquity. The oldest of all jewels, emerald evokes comfort, creativity and bliss. Formed from beryl, alumina and silicic acid, the beautiful green color is produced by trace amounts of chrome within the gem. The world’s highest-grade emeralds come from a mine in Muzo, Colombia. Crescent Vert emerald compares favorably with gemstones from Muzo, exhibiting the same captivating color with blue undertones.

Alexandrite

Alexandrite reveals different colors under various lighting conditions. In the sun, it’s a deep blue-green. By candlelight, it looks purplish-red. Collectors covet this stone and its mysterious color signature, caused by trace amounts of chrome within the gem. Crescent Vert alexandrite possesses the same vivid color-changing properties as high-grade natural stones from Russia’s Ural Mountains.

Ruby

The deep red color of ruby conjures passion and sensuality. Treasured since ancient times, ruby was used in amulets and secret medicines. Second only to diamond in hardness, ruby is made of corundum alumina. The finest natural rubies from Myanmar are called “pigeon blood” rubies, prized for their bright red, slightly purplish hue. Crescent Vert ruby is grown with care to radiate the enchanting crimson color and high transparency of natural stones.

Sapphire

While sapphire comes in many colors, deep blue sapphire is the most famous and the standard against which other blue gemstones are measured. This ancient gemstone is said to bring wisdom, protect the wearer from evil, and promote healing. Its bright blue sparkle has been loved for centuries as a symbol of the heavens and source of faithfulness and peace of mind.

Our Crescent Vert blue sapphire is highly valued for its cornflower blue color.

Padparadscha

Called the King of Sapphires, padparadscha is found only in Sri Lanka. Its name means "the morning glow of the Indian Ocean." Padparadscha sapphire is a very rare gemstone. Its remarkable pinkish-orange color evokes dignity and mercy.

Padparadscha sapphire, blue sapphire and ruby all originate from a mineral called corundum. Only gemstones that achieve an aurora red color—a delicate balance between orange and pink—are worthy of being called Crescent Vert padparadscha.

Green Chrysoberyl

This gem’s name combines the Greek words chrysos (gold) and its chemical element Beryllos (shining gemstones). The popular gemstone is famous for its crisp green transparent sparkle. In Asia, chrysoberyl is believed to protect the wearer from evil. Crescent Vert green chrysoberyl features a refreshing bright green color with refined transparency.

Star Sapphire

The mysterious star sapphire is said to focus the mind with its three intersecting lines of light representing faith, hope and destiny. Star sapphire in a cabochon cut reveals needle-formed mineral inclusions that reflect the light and shine in asterism. Crescent Vert star sapphire, bright blue and full of dignity, displays distinctively beautiful starlight lines.

Star Ruby

Star ruby, in a cabochon cut, emits six distinct rays of light. These asterisms are named for the Greek word meaning “star.”
This mysterious phenomenon—starlight reflected inside the gemstone—is caused by trace needle-formed rutiles and corundum within the gem. Crescent Vert star ruby features a six-rayed star shimmering across the gem’s surface as it shines bright red and full of dignity.

White & Black Opal

White and black opal elicit a mysterious charm with their rich interplay of color. Engineered opal captures the essence of that beauty in shades of blue, green, red and purple swirled together in a dazzling display. Our engineered opals shine brightly, with each color expressing a different personal nuance. Opal’s colors result from light reflected through the stone’s silicon dioxide particles.

Kyocera’s proprietary process creates what nature cannot: Uniformly thick opal stones that won’t split or chip, making them ideal for intricate jewelry designs. Unlike natural opal, Crescent Vert opal and black opal can be easily and precisely cut, achieving what was once impossible in the jewelry world. In addition, Crescent Vert opal is incredibly durable, offering high heat resistance because of its well-balanced internal water content.

Pink & Blue Opal

Though white and black opals are more widely known, pink and blue opals are also popular colors of this versatile stone. In nature, pink and blue “common opals” display muted colors. Crescent Vert pink and blue opals are engineered with high transparency to showcase the vivid play-of-color within. Soft pink and refreshing blue iridescence remind us that opal symbolizes happiness.

Fire Opal

The fiery orange fire opal enchants by glowing as brightly as flames in a fire or the glittering Mexican sun.
With superior transparency and vivid play-of-color, fire opal is named for its burning color and the passion it inspires worldwide.

The beautiful flame of Crescent Vert fire opal was the eleventh gemstone created in Kyocera's lab. Its fine orange color and transparency merit the high praise this engineered gem receives.
