A note on similar colours
A few stones are easy to mix up in person:
- January (Garnet) vs July (Ruby): garnet is a deeper, wine-like red; ruby is brighter
- March (Aquamarine) vs December (Blue Topaz): aquamarine is paler and softer; blue topaz is a more vivid blue
- Ordered a June stone and it looks purple? That is correct — June's Alexandrite has a colour-shifting violet/purple character. A purple June stone is the right stone, not a mistake
- February (Amethyst) vs June (Alexandrite): amethyst is a steady purple; alexandrite has a colour-shifting violet character
If the stone in your piece doesn't look how you expected, compare it against this chart first, then reach out with your order number and a photo if something still seems off — we will happily check it against what was ordered.
