Did you know that long before diamonds became the most favoured gemstone, sapphire reigned as the most popular choice for engagement rings? From beautiful blue sapphires, marvellous yellow diamonds and red rubies, colored gemstones are still a hot trend in the jewelry industry right now and are considered a unique yet impressive engagement ring choice.
What to look for when buying a colored gemstone engagement ring
Similar to if you were buying a diamond engagement ring, there are a few things you should consider before making your purchase. Firstly, color is the most important thing when looking for a colored gemstone piece and is the main thing that determines the value of the gem. Furthermore, the color really has an overriding effect on the entire appearance of the piece so you may wish to select something that reflects their personality. Along with color, cut is another important thing to consider. A stone that is well cut will show a beautiful and even amount of color with a lighter ‘window’ - allowing the stone to look it’s best.
