The symbolism of gemstones in fine jewellery

Are you thinking about gifting your partner a beautiful gemstone-adorned accessory? Throughout history, various gemstones have been attributed particular significance. Here’s a look at the symbolism behind eight popular gemstones.

 

  • Diamonds symbolize faithfulness, purity and love. Moreover, since diamonds are often a significant investment, they represent a long-term commitment. Ben Moss has a large selection of diamond rings for that special someone in your life.
  • Emeralds are associated with protection and healing. Because green is the colour of the heart chakra, emeralds are also often seen as signifiers of love and romance. Consequently, gifting someone emerald jewellery is thought to be an indicator of true love.
  • Rubies have long been associated with royalty and symbolize wealth and prosperity. The fiery red colour has also often been viewed as evocative of passion and love. Why not gift your better half a beautiful pair of ruby earrings to represent your unending dedication?
  • Blue sapphires are strongly associated with truth, loyalty and fidelity, which is why they were once very popular as centre stones in engagement rings. Blue sapphires are also said to be a talisman of good fortune.
  • Amethysts are often associated with sincerity, peace and spirituality. It’s also said that amethyst gemstones can relieve stress and promote a state of calm. A stunning purple amethyst ring is the perfect way to embody your steadfast love for your partner.
  • Citrine is a beautiful golden-yellow variety of quartz that symbolizes joy and warmth. It’s also thought to promote success. Buying your lover a citrine accessory is the perfect way to help them welcome abundance into their life.
  • Morganite has a soft pinkish hue, often associated with innocence and romance. Morganite is also believed to promote self-love and compassion. Giving your partner morganite jewellery is sure to solidify your romantic connection.
  • Opals are seen as precious and powerful stones. They’re often referred to as “amplification stones” because it’s believed that they can bring thoughts and feelings to the surface and intensify them. When gifted with intention, opal jewellery can be a powerful symbol of love and desire.
