Despite their wide variety and differences in terms of quality and popularity, only four gemstones are actually considered precious. All other gemstones, regardless of their unique qualities or popularity, are categorized as semi-precious. While it’s true that certain semi-precious stones can be even rarer than precious ones, the distinction remains: the below four are the precious ones:
1. Diamond
Beauty, value, and sturdiness make diamonds every woman’s dream. Although diamonds are hardly rare, their value only increases over time, thanks to their popularity and, certainly, the harsh conditions under which they’re formed. Explore our Oh So Precious Collection, crafted exclusively from diamonds and 18K gold.
2. Ruby
While rubies are commonly associated with vibrant red hues, their color can range from pale rose to dark red, and sometimes even purple. Just as diamonds originate from carbon, rubies form from corundum, which is naturally transparent but turns red in the presence of chromium traces. Don’t miss our personalized Two Names Ring featuring stunning rubies. For a wider selection of ruby-adorned pieces, visit our website.
3. Sapphire
Sapphire is also formed from corundum with a variety of other mineral traces that result in its blue color. Explore our Little Gems Collection, showcasing a range of sapphire jewelry, including the Sapphire Throne Ring, Mini Sapphire Ring, and Mini Sapphire Pendant.
4. Emerald
Emeralds are made green by traces of either chromium or vanadium. Emeralds are highly sought-after gemstones, and we offer a wide range of pieces adorned with this precious stone on our website.
