subject: Ruby, Sapphire, And Other Gemstone Jewelry [print this page] The first thought that pops up in people's minds when they hear the word "jewelry" is a diamond. And most likely, a great big diamond. For many, it is a diamond engagement ring that they think of. But what about the other kinds that populate the jewelry market. People are so focused on diamonds -sometimes also known as a "girl's best friend" - that they forget there are other types of precious stones that you can get. You have precious stones like rubies, amethyst, emeralds, and others just like them that would look beautiful in just about any piece of jewelry you set them on. Sapphire jewelry, for example, are popular gifts and was even a favorite of royalty in days passed.
To me, it is a wonder why anyone would want to pass up the opportunity to get their wife or loved one gemstone jewelry of any sort. These colored gemstones are beautiful to say the least. It is very rare for someone to have colored gemstone jewelry because most people just buy diamond ones. Do not get me wrong, I am not saying it is a bad choice but people should give a little bit more thought and originality to their jewelry gifts. Besides the color of the stone, everything else is the same when you compare colored gemstones and diamonds. They can still be shaped however you want and can be placed in any setting just as easily as a diamond.
From personal experience, gemstone jewelry catches my eye way more than diamonds do. I think it is because I have seen so many people wearing diamond jewelry that it has become a normal thing for me. I would see it, maybe admire it for about a second, and then turn away. But if I were to see a woman wearing jewelry that has been encrusted with colored gemstones I tend to admire it a bit longer, especially if it is a ruby. Full disclosure, my favorite color is red so a woman wearing ruby jewelry will definitely catch my eye.
Gemstone jewelry is an excellent way to customize your ring, necklace, earrings, etc. specific for her. You know when she was born so why not get her jewelry associated with her birth month? I have a feeling she would get a real kick out of that. Gemstones are so unique that if your significant other is a fan of jewelry, they are going to have at least one of these in her collection.
