La Reina fine jewelry is unparalleled in its vibrancy and opulence – emerald, ruby and sapphire-colored embroidered silk saris paired with equally extravagant gems, the clinking of pure gold bangles stacked from wrists to elbows mingling with the sounds of sitar music – India gave birth to the idea that jewels are de rigueur for every woman on every occasion. Jewelry designer Samir Bhansali, who was born in Mumbai, ushers this concept into contemporary life while paying homage to his rich heritage. “La Reina,” an assemblage of Art Deco elements fashioned from La Reina’s trademark enormous-but-light, laser-cut diamonds, mixes ancient techniques with innovation. The result is simply pure artistry meets incredible craftsmanship.

Ruby doesn’t need any introduction – it is one of the most precious stones, which can shine brilliantly in a necklace and at the same time glow with a subtlety in a ring. Ruby and red go together and it can ignite a thousand desires that will light your candle of passion without your having to say a word. That’s the magic of a ruby.

Of all precious stones the diamond has the simplest composition; it is merely crystallized carbon. Carbon is present in every plant, mineral and animal on earth.
An emerald is almost certainly the rarest of all precious stones and is measured by some to be even more valuable than the diamond.

Rubies have long been thought to have healing properties in treating both the blood and matters of the heart. When you say the word ruby you immediately visualize the colorful images of this stone, as well as an emotional response of passion, romance, and power. Yes that’s the power and the beauty of a ruby!
