Gemstone Engagement Rings
Colored gemstone engagement rings are a rising trend. There’s something incredibly unique and special about colored engagement rings that sets them apart from other jewelry pieces. Sometimes a clear diamond just doesn’t convey your or her personality. In contrast, a coloured gemstone engagement ring offers a versatile and stylish way to showcase your personality and fashion sense.
Although for most of the past century natural diamond rings have been the most common choice for engagement rings, colored gemstone engagement rings have always had devoted fans and are growing increasingly popular.
The appeal of colored gemstone engagement rings is often the color they introduce. Colored gemstones make a bold statement and sometimes the appeal is their linkage to birthstones. Birthstone engagement rings have strong appeal because of the added significance of the gemstone. Colored engagement rings are sometimes imbued with symbolic meaning too. This was particularly true in the 17th through 19th centuries. For example, blue sapphires signified fidelity and loyalty, rubies represented passion and lust, and emeralds stood for hope and prosperity. additional meaning too.
Due to their hardness, sapphires, emeralds and rubies of synthetics thereof are popular choices for colored gem engagement rings. Sapphire in particular is ideal choice. Sapphires are gorgeous and very durable, so they hold up flawlessly to everyday wear. The Mohs Scale rates minerals on their ability to withstand surface scratching. Sapphires receive a nine out of ten on this scale. This indicates excellent hardness and ability to withstand scratches. In fact, the only mineral that can scratch a sapphire is a diamond.

The IGS article notes that in addition to emeralds, ruby can also be a good choice for colored gemstone engagement rings. Ruby’s durability, rarity, and associations with love and the heart make it a fitting (albeit expensive) choice for engagement rings.
Alternative coloured gemstone engagement ring choices
Looking for non-traditional colored gem engagement rings? Among the pretty and popular alternative to diamonds, amethyst gems also make striking gemstone engagement rings. This lovely variety of quartz shows colors ranging from light lavender to deep purple. They have a hardness of 7 on the Mohs Scale and no cleavage planes, making them difficult to scratch or break. Incidentally, a gem needs a minimum hardness of 7 to avoid scratches from a very common hazard: household dust!
Other possible choices for colorful gemstone engagement rings are citrine and topaz. GIA recommend that you shouldn’t store a diamond next to topaz or any other gem in your jewelry box. This is because a diamond could scratch it. When you’re not wearing your coloured gemstone engagement ring, be sure to store it in a soft pouch or jewelry box to prevent scratches. Furthermore, GIA note that softer gemstone colored engagement rings are better suited to special occasion rather than for everyday wear.
