Gemstone Engagement Rings

Some customers looking for an engagement ring prefer something other than the traditional diamond solitaire. If you want something different yet still beautiful and romantic, consider gemstone engagement rings. Although diamond is of course the most popular stone, you can find engagement rings featuring sapphire, ruby, emerald and other colored stones. Sometimes the colored stone will be the main attraction and will either be a solitaire or surrounded by small diamonds. Other times you will see a white diamond flanked by colored gems.


The use of colored gemstones in engagement jewelry was quite popular in both the Victorian and Art Deco time periods. The Victorian era found diamonds in scarce supply so colored stones were used often. One of the most surprising trends from this period is the snake ring, worn by Queen Victoria herself. This type of engagement and/or wedding band features entwined snakes with a single gemstone for the eye. The Art Deco period ranged from the 1920s to the 1930s and also featured colored gems with diamonds, in a very distinctive and eye-catching style.

When shopping for gemstone rings, you may have to forgo the traditional brick and mortar jewelry store. The majority of their engagement rings will be solitaire diamonds. You will find a wider selection of colored stone rings online. You can shop for antique rings or brand new ones on the Internet. The best way is to use a major search engine and enter keywords that best describe the ring you are looking for. From there you can browse the various websites to see if any of them have the selection you want. When searching the Internet have patience as you may have to look through a number of sites before happening upon the perfect place to shop.

Purchasing gemstone engagement rings is just like purchasing any other style of engagement ring.You will need to decide on the type of stone, the cut, the carat weight and of course the setting. Platinum is the finest and most expensive metal for engagement rings, followed by gold. Most people don't choose silver for engagement rings. Look around and compare rings and prices to see what you like the most and what you can afford. The Internet makes comparison shopping for jewelry or anything else easy and convenient.
