Gemstone Jewelry

A gemstone page that promises every birthstone is a brochure. This one follows the titles.

Ruby is the deepest bench of the four: earrings, a pendant, a bracelet and rings, including a Ruby Teardrop Ring at $785. Emerald in a title sometimes means the emerald cut of a diamond, especially on men's illusion earrings. On Daisy Emerald Earrings and the Oval Emerald Ring, the word is the colored stone. Read the whole title. Evil-eye charms are also inside this gemstone tag, about 20 of them, because of the blue stone and the diamonds around it. They are a motif, not a ruby.

Every piece in this 58 has diamond in the stone field. You are usually buying a colored stone plus diamonds in gold, not a lone ruby with an empty setting. That is why a "gemstone" bracelet can still be a diamond bracelet in the filter. The Grapevine Ruby Earrings at $1,405 are the earring. The matching Grapevine Ruby Pendant is $775. Same vine, two categories.

Ask three things the title may not answer. Is the colored stone natural or lab-created? Has it been treated, the way a lot of rubies and emeralds are? Are the diamonds lab or mined? Lab diamonds elsewhere in this shop are labeled lab, and none of those lab listings is an earring. The FTC expects the disclosure when a stone is lab-created or when a treatment is not permanent. We will not fill the blank with a guess. Diamond-led pieces without a color stone are on diamond jewelry. The plain-language difference between a gem and a diamond is gemstones vs diamonds.

These are gold settings, mostly 14K on the women's gemstone earrings and bracelets. 14K is 58.3 percent gold. 10K, at 41.7 percent, shows up more on the plain gold side of the catalog than on these color pieces. White, yellow and rose are often all listed as available metals on one design. Pick the color in the order. Rose gold and ruby is a common pairing because both lean warm. White gold and blue sapphire is the cool version. Neither pairing is a rule.

Hardness is why care differs. Diamond is a 10 on the Mohs scale. Sapphire and ruby are corundum, a 9. Emerald is much softer and more included, so it chips on a door frame that a sapphire would ignore. Pearl is softer still and hates perfume, hairspray and dryness. Do not toss a pearl pair into the same pouch as a diamond hoop. The diamond will scratch the pearl and the gold.

If you want a stone color that is not in these 58 titles, that is custom. You describe it, you see a design and an exact price, and only then is it made. Start at custom. Terms that show up on colored-stone listings, like pavé, halo and carat, are collected in the jewelry glossary.

Watches are a separate case from this gemstone filter. Open watches on their own so a diamond bezel is not mixed up with a ruby bracelet. Gift edits live at gifts.
