Why morganite for the ninth anniversary

Pottery is the traditional ninth gift, shaped by hand and made to be used every day. The gemstone list gives morganite, the pink sister of aquamarine and emerald, a stone tied to tenderness and love.

Morganite is 7.5 to 8 on the Mohs scale, so it is hard enough for rings. Every listing states where the stone comes from and any treatment it has had, and the Transparency Manifest shows what each part of the piece costs.

8

On the Mohs scale at the top of its range: fine for rings.

4

Gold colors, and rose gold suits morganite best.
