Diamonds are a rare and unique ultimate gift for a loved one. Thought to be one of the hardest substances on the globe, diamonds date back billions of years.

The diamond is the traditional birthstone of April and holds significant meaning for those born in this month, thought to provide the wearer with better relationships and an increase in inner strength.

Adopted from the Greek work adamas, meaning “invincible,” diamonds come in a wide range of colors such as black, blue, green, pink, red, purple, orange and yellow. The color is dependent upon the type of impurities that are present in the stone. For instance, yellow stones have minuscule traces of nitrogen while blue ones contain boron.

This month’s birthstone, sapphire, exists in a myriad of colours but it’s always been most strongly associated with the colour blue. The Ancient Persians in fact believed that the Earth rested on a giant blue sapphire and it was the reflection of this that coloured the sky.

One of the most famous pieces of sapphire jewellery in existence is the 12 carat Ceylon sapphire engagement ring, originally belonging to the late Diana, Princess of Wales, and now the Duchess of Cambridge. Perhaps one of the reasons why sapphire is currently the most popular gemstone for engagement rings.

Thank you so much to everyone who supported and attended The Bali Ball 2016.

The Ball took place on Saturday 6th August at The Alila Seminyak. It was a fantastic event with a truly glamorous turn out.

In between the cocktails, fireworks, champagne and six course menu, some very impressive fundraising took place in the shape of raffles, The Diamond Draw and The Best of Bali auction. Guests left with luxury prizes, but most importantly, our charities left knowing they have vital funds coming their way for life-changing projects and initiatives.

We’ll be sharing more details about The Bali Ball and the funds raised very soon.

August babies and scorpions – this is your time to shine. This month’s birthstone is Peridot.

Believed to protect against nightmares and bring its wearer power and influence, peridot is one of the only gemstones to occur in just one colour. It ranges from a pale yellow-green to a deeper olive green tone.

Peridot forms deep inside the earth and is only brought to the surface by volcanoes, which is why in Hawaii, the gemstone symbolises the tears of Pele – the goddess of fire and volcanoes.

One is never enough when it comes to cocktails and happy hour.

That’s why we’ve always made the most of ours, making every Monday – Thursday, day and night, happy hours at our bar. As if by magic though, we’ve made the deal that bit sweeter. Instead of buying one and getting the second free, we’re making them only IDR 55,000 per drink during happy hours. So no more pressure to drink in even numbers!

June has arrived and with it comes all of the gorgeous occasions – weddings and alike – that we’ll be starting to dress for. Perfect for this time of year is this month’s iridescent birthstone, pearl. 

Whether black, white or golden, pearls are the only gem that require no faceting or polishing to reveal their natural luminous beauty. 

Said to embody the gentle, peaceful and healing energy of the sea, pearl is considered a calming gem and believed to be symbolic of the healing light of the universe.

Known for re-inventing comfort food classics with a luxury twist, here at Jemme we’re definitely partial to a beef dish, especially when it’s partnered with a good glass of red.

Fresh on the menu for April is a treat for the tastebuds and the eyes.

Our pan-fried crispy skin salmon fillet is a new light delight on our menu. Served on a bed of fresh sautéed vegetables and delicately oak smoked for a subtle smoky flavour, the presentation of this dish has it looking just as exquisite as it tastes.

One of the hardest natural substances and oldest minerals in the world, this month’s birthstone, diamond, is made from pure carbon at a depth of 90 to 120 miles beneath the earth’s surface, at temperatures above 1200 degrees Celsius.

Once believed to be splinters of stars or tears of gods fallen from heaven, the gem’s symbolic connection to romance and legend has prevailed throughout history.

Adopted from the Greek word ‘adamas’, meaning ‘invincible’, diamonds also became an emblem of fearlessness and were thought to bless their wearer with inner strength.

Love, strength, eternity, fearlessness or just good old glamour – there are few things in life that say it quite like a diamond.
