Unveiling the Magic: The Allure of Coloured Gemstone Rings and Jewellery

From the regal sapphires of ancient royalty to the vibrant emeralds adorning modern celebrities, coloured gemstones have always captured our imagination. Their enchanting hues and storied pasts make them more than just accessories – they are pieces of art with a soul. Among the captivating pieces in our collection are the Berry's 18ct White Gold Claw Set Oval Green Tourmaline & Marquise Cut Diamond Cluster Ring, the Platinum Oval Cut Emerald and Diamond Halo Cluster Ring, and the Platinum Oval Cut Purple Sapphire and Round Brilliant Cut Diamond Three Stone Ring. Complementing these rings, the 18ct White Gold Pear Cut Ruby and Diamond Pendant and the 18ct White Gold Pear Cut Ruby and Diamond Halo Drop Earrings form a stunning matching set.

The Rich History of Coloured Gemstones

Throughout history, coloured gemstones have been prized possessions. Cleopatra, for instance, adored emeralds so much that she claimed all mines in Egypt for herself. Ancient Romans revered sapphires and rubies, associating them with gods and immortality.
Each gemstone carries its own myths and meanings. Rubies symbolize passion and power, while sapphires represent wisdom and virtue. Emeralds, the gemstones of rebirth, were believed to bring fertility and prosperity.

 

 

The Unique Appeal of Coloured Gemstone Jewellery

Coloured gemstones offer a spectrum of hues, from the deep blue of sapphires to the fiery red of rubies and the tranquil green of emeralds. The Berry's Green Tourmaline Ring showcases the rich, verdant beauty of tourmaline, enhanced by the brilliance of diamonds. The Platinum Oval Cut Emerald and Diamond Halo Cluster Ring highlights the lush green of emeralds, while the Platinum Oval Cut Purple Sapphire and Round Brilliant Cut Diamond Three Stone Ring offers a unique and regal purple hue. The 18ct White Gold Pear Cut Ruby and Diamond Pendant and the Matching Earrings highlight the timeless elegance of rubies.

Unique Personalisation

Gemstone jewellery allows for a level of personalisation unmatched by diamonds. Each gemstone's unique colour and characteristics can reflect personal tastes and stories, making them perfect for meaningful gifts.

Birthstones and Zodiac Stones

Gemstones like aquamarine (March) and tourmaline (October) are celebrated as birthstones. Tanzanite, for example, was added as a December birthstone, symbolising transformation and spiritual awakening.

The Craftsmanship Behind Our Jewellery

Creating gemstone jewellery is an intricate process. Each piece, such as the Berry's Green Tourmaline & Diamond Ring, is a labour of love. Skilled artisans meticulously select and set each gemstone to ensure it shines its brightest. The same meticulous craftsmanship is evident in the 18ct White Gold Pear Cut Ruby and Diamond Pendant and the Matching Earrings, as well as the Platinum Oval Cut Emerald Ring and the Platinum Oval Cut Purple Sapphire Ring

 

Quality and Sourcing

We are committed to sourcing high-quality, ethically mined gemstones. Our gemstones are carefully chosen for their colour, clarity, and brilliance, ensuring that each piece of jewellery is a masterpiece.

How to Choose the Perfect Gemstone Jewellery

Consider the Occasion, whether it’s an engagement, anniversary, or a special milestone, the occasion can guide your choice. The green tourmaline in the Berry's Ring makes it a perfect choice for someone who loves unique and vibrant colours. For a coordinated look, the Ruby Pendant and Matching Earrings are ideal for elegant occasions. The Platinum Oval Cut Emerald Ring and the Platinum Oval Cut Purple Sapphire Ring provide options for those seeking a blend of classic and modern luxury.

 

Matching Styles

Gemstone jewellery can complement various styles. The elegant design of the Berry's ring, with its diamond-set shoulders, makes it versatile enough for both everyday wear and special occasions. The ruby pendant and earrings set adds a touch of sophistication and glamour to any outfit. The emerald and purple sapphire rings offer timeless elegance and can be cherished as heirlooms.

Care and Maintenance

Each gemstone has unique care requirements. For example, tanzanite, a trichroic gemstone displaying blue, violet, and burgundy hues, should be handled gently to avoid scratches and heat damage. Rubies, being relatively hard, are durable but should still be protected from harsh impacts. Emeralds, while beautiful, can be more fragile and should be cleaned with care to avoid damaging their internal inclusions.
