With the desire to help you discover the aura of jewellery through the cultures and links that unite it with humanity, Luxus Plus is now focusing on the myths and legends attributed to our jewellery. Through this approach, we hope to open your interest beyond precious stones and reveal to you the symbolism and meaning of jewels, from the most renowned to the most unexpected.
First of all, let us insist on one essential point. Since the law of 2002, it is forbidden to use the term “semi-precious” for gems that are neither “precious stones” – which are, as a reminder, diamond, ruby, sapphire and emerald – nor “ornamental stones“, such as biominerals like coral. They are referred to as “fine stones“. Indeed, the often-used name “semi” is somewhat pejorative and far from revealing their importance for stones that are sometimes worth more per carat than those called “precious“.
Next, let’s look at what makes jewellery so attractive. “Jewellery has no other function than to be beautiful“, says Isabelle Delahaye, professor at the School of Jewellery Arts. But what makes jewellery? We could define it in two words: beauty and rarity. If jewellery sets are attractive because of their gems, they must be beautiful, rare and durable.
According to Mrs Delahaye, we must “feel and experience the emotion of the stones“. And what do beauty and emotion provide? Desire. However, desire is also acquired through the symbolism that we attribute to the object we covet.
