Gemstones

Not only are gemstones stunning, they are incredibly fascinating! A gemstone is a mineral or naturally occurring material that is durable enough to be carved, polished and cut to create beautiful pieces of jewellery and lustrous adornments. Diamond, ruby, emerald and sapphire are considered precious stones, while the other stones fit into a semi-precious category; however they are all as wonderfully beautiful as each other.

The Top 5 most popular gems used in jewelry

• Amethyst
• Emerald
• Ruby
• Sapphire
• Diamond

Amethysts: Amethysts are an unusual gemstone with a deep purple colour. They are said to be a calming stone, representing love, happiness and wealth in one’s life. Amethysts were once considered more precious than diamonds, until a large deposit of them was found in Brazil and Uruguay, when they became known as semi-precious.

Emerald: Emeralds have long been a gemstone that is popular amongst royalty. Egyptians once believed that emeralds represented rebirth and fertility, so they quickly became popular. Emeralds have long been used in jewellery pieces including wedding and engagement rings and look fantastic when placed alongside diamonds and other gems.

Ruby: July’s birthstone, the ruby has a strong and vibrant deep red colour, said to represent love and passion, making it extremely popular amongst those looking to portray their love and affection. Many people are unaware that rubies are actually red sapphires and come from the same mineral. Rubies are also the traditional gift for 40th wedding anniversaries.

Sapphire: Blue sapphires are one of the most popular gemstones used in jewellery in the world, most recognisably used in Princess Diana’s stunning engagement ring that was passed down to the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton. Sapphires do come in multiple colours, though blue is the most popular.

Diamond: It’s no surprise that diamonds take the top spot of the most popular gemstones used in jewellery. Diamonds come in various colours including yellow, blue and green with red being the rarest, though the most well-loved is the sparkling clear diamond. Diamonds will often accompany other gemstones in jewellery pieces, though when used alone look spectacular and are popularly added into engagement and wedding rings.
