February 2023 Highlights at India's Finest Gems

If you stopped by our site in February, you probably saw a burst of fresh designs, practical gem‑care advice, and a few stories about the people behind the sparkle. This archive page brings those moments together so you can catch up quickly, no matter when you’re reading.

New Handcrafted Collections Launched

We kicked off the month with two standout collections. The first, called Royal Rani, mixed traditional Kundan work with a modern twist—think deep‑red rubies set in sleek gold bands. The second, Silk & Stone, paired soft pastel sapphires with silk‑colored enamel for a look that feels both festive and everyday. Both lines emphasized ethically sourced stones, so you could feel good about the look and the labor behind it.

Designers explained how they chose each gemstone. For example, the ruby in the Royal Rani necklace comes from a mine in Hyderabad that follows strict fair‑trade guidelines. Knowing that helps you see the piece as more than a pretty accessory—it’s a story of responsible sourcing.

Practical Gem‑Care Tips You Can Use Today

February also brought a short series of care articles. One post, “Cleaning Your Gemstone Without Damage,” gave a step‑by‑step on using mild dish soap, a soft brush, and lukewarm water. Another, “Storing Jewelry to Prevent Scratches,” suggested using individual soft pouches and keeping pieces away from direct sunlight.

We kept the language simple because we know most people don’t want to read a chemistry textbook to clean a ring. Just follow the three‑step routine, and your gems stay bright for years.

Alongside care, we shared a quick guide on recognizing real versus imitation stones. Look for tiny natural inclusions—those are signs of authenticity. If a stone looks too perfect, it might be lab‑grown, which isn’t bad, but it’s good to know what you’re buying.

Behind the Scenes: Meet Our Artisans

One of the most popular posts featured a video interview with Ramesh Patel, a third‑generation Kundan artisan from Jaipur. He walked us through his process, from sketch to final polish, and explained why he still prefers hand‑tooling over machines for delicate work. The interview reminded us that each piece carries a legacy of skill passed down through generations.

We also highlighted a day in the life of Maya Singh, our gemstone sourcing manager. Her role involves traveling to mines, checking certification documents, and making sure every stone meets both quality and ethical standards. Knowing Maya’s journey adds confidence when you pick a gem from our catalog.

Trending Gemstones of the Month

February saw a surge in demand for pastel sapphires and muted emeralds. Fashion influencers paired these stones with minimalist gold settings, creating looks that felt fresh yet classic. Our sales data showed a 20% rise in pastel sapphire orders compared to January, indicating the trend is more than a passing fancy.

We responded by adding more pastel options to the Silk & Stone collection, and we even released a limited‑edition emerald cuff that blends traditional temple motifs with a modern silhouette.
