What is a gemstone ring?
A gemstone ring is a piece of jewellery featuring a precious or semi-precious stone set in a band, often designed to highlight the stone’s colour, brilliance, and natural beauty. Popular choices are sapphires, emeralds, rubies, garnets, aquamarines, and morganites.
What are the most popular gemstones used in rings?
Aside from the classic diamonds, the most popular gemstone rings are often set with sapphires (often chosen for their rich blue hue), rubies (known for their fiery red color), and emeralds (valued for their vibrant green shades). Other stones like amethyst, aquamarine, morganite and garnet are also common choices for those looking for something unique.
How do you choose the right gemstone for a ring?
Choosing the right gemstone depends on personal preferences, the meaning behind the stone, and lifestyle considerations. You’ll want to think about colour, durability, and the overall aesthetic of the ring.
Your choice may also reflect your birthstone, favorite colour, or symbolism.
What finger do you wear a gemstone ring on?
You can wear a gemstone ring on any finger, depending on your personal style and preference. However, there are some common choices:
Ring Finger: Often worn as a statement ring or on the same finger as an engagement or wedding band. A gemstone ring on the ring finger can be a bold yet elegant choice.
Middle Finger: A great spot for a larger gemstone ring, offering a striking look that stands out without feeling too flashy.
Index Finger: If you want your gemstone ring to be noticed, the index finger is an ideal spot. It allows the ring to be seen more clearly and can add a touch of flair.
Pinky Finger: Gemstone rings on the pinky finger often have a vintage or bold vibe. This finger is perfect for a signet-style gemstone ring or a smaller, more delicate design.
How do you care for a gemstone ring?
To care for a gemstone ring, clean it regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap solution. Avoid harsh chemicals, and always remove your ring when doing activities that might cause it to scratch, like cleaning or exercising. For softer stones, store them separately from harder ones to avoid scratches.
