Collection: Lucky red jewellery and red gemstones for the Lunar New Year

As we get ready to celebrate Chinese New Year, our thoughts are turning to red jewellery. In Chinese culture, the colour of gems such as rubies, rubellites and garnets is considered to be a lucky. Those celebrating the lunar new year will often wear red, while celebrating with red lanterns and giving gifts of red envelopes filled with money.
