Much of the jewellery we see online or in jewellery stores is either gold, silver or, if it contains stones, more often than not it’s one or more diamonds. Other popular and fashionable jewellery is adorned with coloured gemstones, such as red rubies, green emeralds and blue sapphires, for example. These standard gemstones are not the only gemstones you’ll find in jewellery collections today, either, as you’ll discover when you browse collections of gemstone jewellery.
When it comes to gemstone jewellery, what design options are out there in today’s extensive marketplace?
Let’s take a glance at just a few select gemstone jewellery options, so you have an idea of what’s available and what might suit your particular gemstone jewellery tastes.
How About Gold Gemstone Earrings?
While a plain pair of gold earrings or earrings containing diamonds are always a favourite, why not add a splash of colour by purchasing gemstone earrings and adding these to your earring collection?
For example, you could purchase a pair of diamond drop earrings in white gold that also features green tourmaline. Tourmaline is a semi-precious stone with a green hue that’s a little different to what you find in most emeralds.
Or, how about stud earrings featuring tanzanite in a vibrant blue colour? Set in 18ct white gold, these earrings are outstanding and would look fantastic for a night out on the town, yet they’re understated enough to wear at any time or for any occasion.
If you browse online or in the jewellery stores, you’ll soon discover just how many stunning gemstone earrings there are to choose from.
Gemstone Pendants and Necklaces
A white gold gemstone pendant is going to look great dangling from any lady’s neck. One gemstone that always looks fantastic when married with white gold is an emerald, or an emerald and a diamond for an added touch of elegance.
Another popular gemstone pendant design incorporates a yellow gold chain and setting, along with a beautiful crystal opal that’s surrounded by tiny diamonds. Opals always have a certain mystique to them and offer up some dazzling colours.
Another modern twist on gemstone necklaces is the multi-coloured gemstone necklace, featuring gemstones in the colours of red, green, black, white, pink and green, to name a few options. Generally, these necklaces feature rose or yellow gold with an assortment of different semi-precious stones spaced around the necklace.
A white gold fine silver necklace with a pendant made from white gold, tiny diamonds and blue topaz is sure to attract everyone’s attention.
These are just a select few of the current gemstone pendant and necklace designs on the market today.
Gemstone Rings Always Look Amazing
A diamond dress ring with a coloured gemstone proudly displayed at its centre would look incredible on any woman’s finger. Gemstones such as blue zircon, aquamarine, red spinel, blue topaz for a cocktail dress ring and more.
In fact, coloured gemstones adorning rings is one of the best ways to utilise gemstones in jewellery making. Coloured gemstone rings are not just limited to women’s rings, either. Many men’s fashion rings feature gemstones, such as opals, black onyx, sapphires, emeralds, rubies, topaz and other gemstones. Many rings for guys also feature diamonds, either on their own or surrounding a coloured gemstone at the centre.
One ladies ring that looks absolutely stunning features the use of a pink sapphire (rather than a blue sapphire), several diamonds and set into a band of white gold. This type of ring makes for an awesome dress ring, or could even be used as an engagement ring with a difference. There are actually quite a few varieties of ring on the market today that feature beautiful pink sapphires.
The black opal dress ring is also another amazing piece of jewellery that encompasses a coloured gemstone. Black opals are the most sought after opal there is, due to their electrifying colours, featuring vibrant blues and flashes of dazzling red. If you really want a gemstone ring that attracts attention, then look for a ring with a black opal.
