Why We Love Coloured Engagement Rings

Modern Wedding Posted: April 16, 2018

For something a little bit different, coloured gems are an original unique choice for engagement rings and wedding jewellery.

A burst of colour that will brighten even the darkest of days! 

Unique

Gemstones can be found in whatever colour your heart desires. Each stone is entirely different to the next, in colour, quality and age. If your bride is born in July why don’t you pop the question with a gorgeous Ruby ring?

These red beauties have been the world’s most precious gemstones for thousands of years. The intense and rich colour of a good quality determines its value.

On Trend

Want to know what Penelope Cruz, Jessica Simpson and Elizabeth Hurley all have in common? They all rock gorgeous gemstone engagement rings. Rare coloured gems and stones are highly coveted and have always held an air of mystery and today are as irresistible as ever.

How gorgeous are these sapphires? These beauties come in an array of colours from bright, to delicate violet and midnight blue. Sapphires are generally cut in an oval or cushion shape and symbolise truth, sincerity and faithfulness.

 Regal

Rare coloured gems like morganite, ruby gems and emeralds scream regal elegance. I mean the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton has one after all!

Elegant, bold and eye catching, emeralds represent love and rebirth. The unique appearance of these gems make them a highly coveted stone.
