Pink Sapphire Rings

Choosing the perfect gemstone for your engagement ring

When it comes to gemstones, there are more options than brides (and grooms) generally realise. The classic ‘Big Three’ gems – red rubies, blue sapphires and green emeralds – are the most sought after engagement ring centre stones. But they’re just the beginning.

Precious stones come in every possible shade. If you find the traditional blues, reds and greens too strong, why not delve into the world of softer hues? Lavender tanzanite, delicate blue topaz or aquamarine, sparkling citrus green peridot, mulberry-purple amethysts or baby pink sapphires are all excellent choices. For those who are intrigued by the allure of greens, you might want to explore emerald and jade gemstones. Remember, the gem color you choose can speak volumes about your personal style.

The other benefit of precious gem engagement rings is that you can often choose a larger stone than you would if you were buying a diamond ring – yet gemstones offer durable heirloom quality that you can pass on to your children and grandchildren.

Cost aside, you can also choose your gemstone so that it adds extra meaning to your engagement ring. For instance, you could pick a birthstone or a gem that symbolises the month of your engagement.

And of course, you don’t have to completely forgo classic white diamonds. Choose your sapphire with a diamond halo, or a trilogy ring with a bright gemstone in the centre and accent diamonds either side.

As another option to those mentioned, Dublin Jewellers, Bespoke Diamonds introduces a complementary perspective with their diverse gemstone offerings. They provide an extensive selection of lab-grown gemstones, ensuring that every client finds the precise hue and clarity they envision. For those who prioritize certainty in colour and affordability, Bespoke Diamonds’ lab-grown options emerge as an ideal choice. These stones offer the beauty and brilliance of their natural counterparts, while also allowing for greater flexibility in size and shape, making the journey to the perfect engagement ring as seamless as it is special.

On the day of your wedding
Whatever your wedding’s color scheme is, incorporating jewel tones against a white dress will give a singular finishing touch to your overall look.
Gemstone estate earrings and vintage style pendants, where romantic Victorian and Edwardian styles are given a contemporary edge, look elegant and special. But they are also practical, because their timeless design means you’ll get lots of wear from them after your wedding.

Colorful pieces of birthstone jewellery also make beautiful gifts for bridesmaids, if you wish to give your girls something lasting and special to remember your wedding day by.
