Colored gemstones can provide an alternative or accent to diamonds.
When it comes time to choose your engagemnet ring -
or to drop some not-so-subtle hints for your fiance - don't limit
yourself to simply deciding what shaped diamond you want. Colored
gemstone engagement rings are a fashionable option, and one that allows
you to express your personality and style while celebrating your love.
Perhaps the most famous gemstone engagement ring
is the one that Prince Charles gave to Princess Diana when they were
engaged. The beautiful blue sapphire ring was as lovely and unique as
the woman who wore it. Jessica Simpson celebrated her past engagement
with a gorgeous pink sapphire and diamond ring.
Engagement rings are a fashion statement as much
as a declaration of love. After all, you'll be wearing this ring every
day; if a traditional diamond just simply isn't your style, you should
feel empowered to choose a ring that is."
Just as diamonds can be cut into a variety of styles and shapes, so
can gemstones. And chances are you'll be able to afford a bigger stone
than if you bought a traditional diamond - an added bonus. "There is
more competition in the marketplace for gemstones, since they are found
in many different parts of the world. Diamonds are mined in only a few
places, which means prices are kept high by producers.
Exhibiting the purest form of every possible color, you'll find
gemstones come in a wide range of breathtaking hues. With the variety
of gemstones ranging from red sparkling rubies to blue sapphires, green
emeralds, and more, there truly is something for everyone.
You can base your choice on personal color preference, or let the
romantic in you choose according to the traditional significance of
each gemstone. Blue often symbolizes peach and tranquility, for
example, while red is the universal color of passion and symbolizes
beauty and love. Green reflects the vital energy of life
