Gemstone and its benefits

If your loved one prefers a bigger diamond shape for her gemstone engagement ring

Diamonds may be a girl’s best friend, but if you’re the type who prefers something out of the norm, you may want to consider getting a gemstone rings. While the pros of diamonds cannot be understated, there’s so much more about gemstones than we’ve known! For example, did you know that some gemstones are used to help with people’s psychological needs? Handling an amethyst gemstone provides peace, intuition and spirituality. This example shows the otherworldly effects of gemstones, with more benefits stated below! 

Gemstones take meaning to another level, especially if your loved one is a believer of horoscopes or birthstones! 

While gemstones encompasses different groups of families such as precious and semi-precious stones, birthstones are more straightforward. It is essentially gemstones that represent someone’s month of birth. Thus, when purchasing a birthstone, its significance and importance are relayed to the recipient, which makes this gift even more meaningful. 

Next, we’ll compare the hardness between gemstones and diamonds. Diamonds are ranked as the hardest mineral on Earth. Although this proves its durability, it does not however absolve diamonds from being scratch-resistant or chipped off under heavy pressure. Admittedly, this can be seen among all minerals, gemstones not being an exception. However, on the MOHs scale, precious stones such as Sapphire and Ruby are ranked a sturdy 9/10 in terms of hardness. So, while it is still seen as a cheaper alternative to diamonds, that argument is slightly skewed. 

It is important to note that precious stones consist of four minerals: diamonds, ruby, sapphire and emerald. The three gemstones are considered precious stones as for one, sapphire is very durable, and two, ruby and sapphire are very rare. 

If your loved one prefers a bigger diamond shape for her gemstone engagement ring but is open to other options, this is where choosing a gemstone would come in handy. Between gemstones and diamonds, the cost per carat is cheaper for gemstones, so you’ll be able to purchase a bigger gemstone shape. Majority of gemstones cost less than diamonds as most are not as durable compared to precious stones like ruby and sapphire, and most gemstones are mined in bulk. 

While gemstone engagement rings are rare to find, it is gaining popularity due to its extravagant and gorgeous look. For engagement rings, a gemstone diamond matches best with a showy ring setting, like a halo or an eternity setting. These settings would accentuate the natural beauty of the gemstone. It is, however, advised to get an expert’s opinion before purchasing one, as each person’s definition of beauty is different.
