“Diamonds are a girl’s best friend” is a phrase you’ve probably heard a million times. Rightly so, every woman would love to receive her first diamond or add one to her collection.
Diamond engagement rings are the more traditional route; however, you have gemstone engagement rings which are unique and captivating. One of the most popular trends these days is when it comes to engagement rings is trading in the more traditional stones for something vibrant and colourful. Coloured gemstone engagement rings are taking the stage for many different reasons.
At McGowans, we carry a number of different coloured gemstones which can suit your needs.
Emeralds
This ancient and mysterious stone can really give your engagement ring a one-of-a-kind look. As Cleopatra’s gem of choice, the emerald is certainly no stranger when it comes to elegant jewellery and that includes engagement rings. One benefit of choosing an emerald engagement ring is there are many different shades to pick from, including light and vibrant greens to deep, dark green hues.
Sapphires
Another popular gemstone among royalty and the average person is sapphires which are eye-catching and make a bold statement for your engagement ring. It’s not commonly known, but sapphires don’t only come in shades of blue they come in every shade apart from red, so if you want a coloured gemstone that provides you with a lot of options, then sapphires are a good choice.
Rubies
Rubies are a classic stone that can make a great statement piece for your engagement ring. The most popular and commonly known ruby is of course, the red. Rubies are often associated with love and the heart because of their colour and can be a fantastic way to convey your feelings to your other half.
Amethyst
An amethyst engagement ring is a beautiful and an affordable option that can be your beautiful companion for many years. Amethyst has long been associated with protection, as well as freedom from anxiety. If you want to carry around a little bodyguard, an amethyst engagement ring is a great choice.
Blue Topaz
Blue topaz is thought to be a symbol of peace, harmony and relaxation. Topaz is a much more durable gemstone than many others. It has high resistance which makes it an ideal gem for daily wear jewellery such as engagement rings.
