Lore & Heritage
In 1910, exquisite peach-pink beryls were discovered on the island of Madagascar. Tiffany & Co.'s chief gemologist Dr. George F. Kunz proposed the name Morganite to honor John Pierpont Morgan, the titanic Wall Street financier and philanthropist who donated millions to gemstone collections at the American Museum of Natural History. Completing the beryl trinity alongside emerald and aquamarine, it was anointed the Queen of Sacred Love.
