TrueFacet.com and Stephen Silver Fine Jewelry Collaborate on Boutique in Silicon Valley

LOS ANGELES - Celebrated artist, Victor Velyan, is incorporating rubies from Greenland into his prolific collection of fine jewelry Greenlandic rubies and pink sapphires are thought to be nearly 3 billion years old, which is at least twice as old as other deposits, and for Velyan, this was part of their appeal, "Whenever I'm designing with gemstones, I'm mindful of the source of the stone," explains Velyan about his design process Greenland Ruby A/S officially opened its mining operation in May of 2017, and quickly sought preferred partners with whom to work, including an exclusive list of world-recognized designers.

"With Victor's bold and edgy designs, coupled with his proprietary metallurgical techniques, we knew he'd come up with designs that really highlight the unique beauty specific to the Greenlandic rubies; the designs he's created with our gems have exceeded our expectations, and we're excited to see what else is on the horizon!" To date, Velyan has created an earring, ring and cuff suite with Greenland rubies These deeply red stones are all cabochon cut, set in 18k gold and accented with white diamonds, an homage to the visual contrast that initially attracted Velyan to the stones.

The artists plans to continue to utilize these rare gems in several future designs but, as with all of his work, it is difficult for Velyan to put a timeline on his creations. . Source
