The Rise of Coloured Gemstone Engagement Rings
Colourful engagement rings
With Valentine’s Day behind us and wedding seasons always approaching, we’ve previously talked about the rising trend of coloured gemstones in our everyday looks, and with love on the brain, why not opt for a unique take on your engagement ring?
These beautiful and unique stones can add a personal touch to your proposal and serve as a meaningful symbol of your relationship. Here, we will explore the rise of coloured gemstone engagement rings, from the symbolism behind different stones to the various design options available. We want to make sure your big day is as special as you, from the proposal onwards.

What Does Your Chosen Gemstone Mean?
Every gemstone has its own unique properties and symbolism. For example, sapphires are associated with wisdom and truth, while emeralds symbolise hope and renewal. Ruby is said to represent passion and love, making it an excellent choice for an engagement ring. Using a coloured gemstone that holds special meaning to you and your partner can add depth and sentimentality to your proposal. It can also reflect your personal style and distinguish your ring from the traditional diamond engagement ring.
Design Options
There are a variety of design options available for coloured gemstone engagement and eternity rings, from classic solitaires to more intricate and modern designs.
A three-stone setting with two smaller diamonds or gemstones flanking the centre stone can add more sparkle and visual interest. Halo settings are another popular choice, adding a circle of smaller diamonds or gemstones around the centre stone, enhancing its size and brilliance.

In addition to the setting, the choice of metal can also greatly impact the overall look of the ring. White gold or platinum can provide a modern and sleek look, while yellow or rose gold can add warmth and vintage charm. Another trend is using mixed metals, such as a rose gold band with a platinum setting, which can create a unique and personalised look.
