Gemstone Jewelry

Gemstone Jewelry in Every Shade You Love

Diamonds are the topic of the toast. But gemstones spark the compliments that follow. An emerald pendant draws someone closer at a garden wedding. A turquoise ring turns a handshake into a conversation. Amethyst earrings make a plain black turtleneck look entirely on purpose.

Every stone has its own temperament. Sapphire is the steady one, hard enough for daily wear and still scintillating decades later. Emerald's green is what other greens are compared to. Amethyst has been a royal favorite for centuries, set into the orb and scepter of the British Crown Jewels. That regal purple still carries all the authority. Ruby's all warmth and conviction. And topaz runs from cool sky blue to a honeyed glow, often at a price that makes it easy to love a bigger stone.

Gemstone rings keep color where you'll see it most. Drop earrings in citrine or aquamarine brighten your features, and a tourmaline gemstone necklace can carry an entire outfit on its own. Mixed-stone designs don't play favorites, allowing many colors to work together.

The metal shifts the mood again. Yellow gold deepens an opal's warmth and gives sapphire a classic richness. Sterling silver keeps cooler stones crisp. Gold-plating sets a stone in a golden hue at a price built for more than one favorite. Estate gemstone jewelry carries the cutting and craftsmanship of earlier eras, ready to be loved again.

Birthstones are a heartfelt, personal gift. Her month, her stone, chosen because you remembered. Buying your own birthstone? That self-purchase was always meant to be.

Ross-Simons buyers and gemologists have spent more than seventy years judging color and clarity, working directly with lapidaries and goldsmiths around the world. The stone you fall for is one you can trust.
