Sapphire Jewellery: "the stone of resilience, strength"
Sapphire is famed for its beauty but also practical properties of resilience, strength and cutting ability. One of the sapphire's most elaborate claims to fame is the royal engagement ring, once adorned by Princess Diana and now worn by Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge. Many historical figures have made known their admiration for the wonderful gemstone and its potential healing and protecting abilities as well as its romantic allure. Helen of Troy, famed for her lure and beauty, was said to have owned a large star sapphire to symbolise her attraction. King Solomon also apparently enticed the Queen of Sheba’s affections by claiming to harness the seductive power of the stone. Sapphire is the birthstone for those born in September and is used to mark 5th and 45th wedding anniversaries.

Siberian Waltz Jewellery – FAQs
What makes the Siberian Waltz collection unique?
The Siberian Waltz collection is Gemondo’s signature range of kinetic-inspired enamel jewellery. It is characterized by its "dancing" visual motifs set within intricate, hand-painted enamel frames. Inspired by Russian architectural motifs and Tsarist luxury, the collection combines historical storytelling with a modern, fluid aesthetic.
How does the "kinetic" movement work in these pieces?
The hallmark of the Siberian Waltz is its kinetic visual design. While gemstones are secured in precise settings (such as claws) to maximize light exposure and brilliance, the sense of movement is created by the design. Hand-painted enamel twirls and rhythmic geometric shapes work together to create a dynamic optical illusion. As you move, the gemstones play with the light against these spiralling patterns, mimicking the fluid, rhythmic motion of a dance.
What is the significance of the hand-painted enamel?
Enamel is a core element of Gemondo's craftsmanship. In the Siberian Waltz collection, we use a traditional hand-painting technique to apply vibrant pigments to intricate metalwork. This process requires extreme precision and multiple kiln-firings to achieve the deep colours that complement the unique twists and turns of each design.
What materials are used in the Siberian Waltz collection?
Every piece is crafted using premium materials like 925 Sterling Silver or 9ct Gold. The collection features a variety of authentic gemstones—including Garnets and Topaz—chosen specifically for their clarity and how they interact with light when set within our geometric enamel frames.
How should I care for my kinetic-inspired jewellery?
Because of the delicate hand-painted finish and specialized settings, we recommend extra care. Avoid exposing the jewellery to harsh chemicals or perfumes. Simply wipe with a soft, lint-free cloth after wear and store it in its original box to maintain the lustrous finish and the integrity of the rhythmic enamel patterns.
