Bridal jewellery pieces are some of the best in the world. It is one of the reasons why we love weddings so much. They are rich in colour and value. Not to mention the fact that they usually have wonderful and rare gemstones. Every bride will want to look their best when it comes to their special wedding day. There have been many jewellery developments over the years, as well as so many beautiful vintage pieces that continue to circulate, which is what we love about jewellery.
One important thing is choosing the colour to go with the rest of the makeup. Here are some of the best engagement gemstones that you can choose for your engagement ring.
Diamonds
Starting near the top, diamonds are the most popular gemstone when it comes to both a wedding ring and an engagement ring. Some brides will enjoy having a large diamond on their fingers. Others will prefer to have a discreet diamond on their ring. Let’s be honest, diamonds are a gorgeous addition to any ring.
A diamond is the most durable gemstone that you can buy which is another reason why everybody loves them. How do you scratch a diamond? The only way is by using another diamond. The marital meaning of a diamond is eternal love so make sure the person you say “I do” to is the one.
Sapphire
Prince William presented Kate Middleton with a ring that was once his mother’s. Which gemstone was that? The Sapphire. A sapphire’s colour varies from dark blue to light grey. The colour of a sapphire all depends on the quality of the gemstone.
Due to the reputation that the sapphire got from the royal family. There have been many people, specifically jewellery designers, that have tried to copy that gemstone. The best part about sapphire is the range of different colours that you can get. Pink, purple-black are just a select few of the colours to expect with a sapphire.
Emerald
Emerald green is arguably one of the most provocative colours out there. Especially when it comes to jewellery. The darker the emerald, the more it is worth as well. If the emerald is only a light green or slightly cloudy, then it is of less value to those that are darker. Vintage emerald rings are liked by many but it certainly comes at a price. The marital meaning of an emerald gemstone is wisdom and hope. Hopefully, your marriage will last forever.
Pearl
Now, although this is not a gemstone, it is still one of the most popular gems out there when it comes to engagement and wedding rings. They come in a variety of different colours and shades, hence why they are so popular with engagement rings. Pearl jewellery is one of the most prestigious pieces out there. Some of the best to look at as well. Pearl engagement rings are not that expensive compared to the other gemstones on this list. If you want a ring on a budget that has a deep meaning then pearls are the one for you.
Peridot
A peridot gemstone can often get confused with an emerald. However, they are a much lighter colour. It is also often overlooked when it comes to engagement and wedding rings. It is hard to understand why as it compliments many other gemstones and looks amazing on brides who have a slightly darker complexion.
Morganite
Morganite is the perfect gemstone for a girly girl. The soft pink gemstone is often found in very large gemstones. Meaning that the rings for an engagement ring and wedding ring are going to be slightly larger than usual. The morganite gemstone means compassion and promise. If your partner knows the meaning of a gemstone then that will forever keep her in love with you.
Ruby
Ruby red can often get confused with Garnets and vice versa. A pink-toned ruby is common with vintage engagement rings due to the popularity of the stones in previous years. A good combination with this gemstone is a pearl. Nonetheless, a pearly will go well with many of the gemstones that are on this list. The same goes for a ruby.
Garnet
These garnets tend to be a darker shade compared to rubies. These are popular with vintage engagement rings as well. Garnets are more expensive than rubies as well so make sure that you shop around for the darker gemstones. The reason for this is because they are of more value. They will look great with the red flowers at your wedding.
Topaz
Last but not least, topaz. Another great gemstone comes in a variety of different colours. However, the clearer the topaz gemstone, the higher the quality and the most natural state of topaz is almost colourless. The only reason why there are so many different colours. This is due to the imperfections of the stone when it is formed.

There are many gemstones that you can choose when it comes to a wedding or an engagement, whether you go for an antique ring to support a sustainable lifestyle or a brand new piece. There are different wedding brands that you can choose from when it comes to a ring for your partner. Try to pick the materials that complement the gemstone and vice versa.
