RUBY
The name derives from the Latin “rubeus” or “ruber” which means “red” (due to the presence of chromium in it).
It was also called “Carbonchio” because, for its color, it resembled a glowing ember. The most valuable come from Myanmar.
In addition to diamond, there are several other precious stones that are excellent for purposes of Asset Protection, Wealth and Inheritance Tax Planning and, like diamond and compared to gold, they maintain a more stable value over the time at the expense of a lower liquidity.

EMERALD
The name derives from the Greek word “smaragdos” which means “green stone“.
Indeed, it is green and its color can vary from light green to dark green, due to the inclusions of chromium oxide. The most valuable come from Colombia.
SAPPHIRE
The name derives from the Greek “sappheiros” that means “blue” and generically this term indicated a blue stone.
The sapphire is actually strongly allochromatic and it can vary in all types of colors, although the most famous is its blue color variant.
PEARL
It can be of “fresh water” or “salt water” (from the sea). The first type can be of various colors (from white to dark blue) with a truly infinite variety of shapes (oval, drop-shaped, egg-shaped) but the perfectly spherical ones are the rarest and most valuable.
The second type is produced by the secretion of particular shells and its color depends as much on the shell as on the condition of the water in which the mollusk lives.
