Fabergé’s Cosmic Curve collection celebrates the circle of exquisite hues through its coloured gemstone rings

Inspired by the belief that every gemstone contains energy from one of the planets in our solar system, Fabergé has launched a collection of rings named Cosmic Curve. Set with tsavorites, a rainbow of coloured sapphires and Gemfields’ Zambian emeralds and Mozambican rubies, these rings are available in 18k yellow, white and rose gold and are ideal for either stacking or wearing alone. In line with this belief, which has its origin in ancient times, it is hoped that the energy from the gemstones will helpthe wearer to increase their sense ofwellbeing and happiness.

It was the Babylonians who,thousands of years ago, believed that gemstones were guarantors of health and joy: their unusual colours and scarcity contributed to this idea that they were associated with magical powers. Today, it is stillbelieved that the healing powers of gemstones derive from the special cosmic influences of their associated ruling planets.

Ancient Indian gemmological texts explain that white light is composed of seven primary and two secondary colours blended together. The primarycolours are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet; the secondary colours are ultra-violet and infra-red. The former become visible in the form of a rainbow whenever white light is refracted through a prism or rain falls; but the latter two always remain invisible.

These nine colours are thought of as the cosmic matrix, and are the very essence of the nine planets; and it is through these bright huesthat the planets radiate their energy and influence.

Ofall the elements in nature, gemstones constitute the most condensed form ofconcentrated colour and can provide a limitless source of cosmic colour rays. In ancient Indian texts, gemstones with their corresponding colours were said to possess powers that could be used in a targeted manner to heal symptoms ofcertain illnesses.

If the Sun (Surya) is exalted in a horoscope,it is believed a person will be well-read, strong, and compassionate. Red is the cosmic colour transmitted by rubies, and red colour waves are hot, and therefore reputed to be useful in curing diseases caused by excessive cold and moisture in the body, including colds, anaemia, low blood pressure and heart and circulatory problems. In addition, solar gemstones confer courage and eliminate sadness.

People with Mercury (Budha) in a horoscope will be educated, happy, fortunate and highly respected. Green is the cosmic colour transmitted by emeralds and tsavorite, and these colour waves relate to the earth’s element and are cold by nature. Mercury astral talismans are believed to improve memory and learning andto strengthen the nervous system.

When Saturn (Shani) is exalted,one will be charitable, lavishand affectionate. Violet is the cosmic colour transmitted by blue sapphires and other natural blue andviolet gems. Violet colour waves are related to Saturn, the planet believed to govern the entire nervous system. Saturn Astral Talismans are known to help strengthen a person’s nervous system.

If the Moon (Chandra) is exalted in a horoscope,it is believed a person will be wealthy, industrious, and respected.
