Is it a birthstone? Is it a diamond ring? Does it mean anything? Is it just for fashion? The answer to all of those is yes.
Peridot and diamond rings are a twist on the traditional birthstone ring for August and anyone can have the same look with their own birthstone. There is no rule that says a birthstone ring can't be jazzed up with some sparkling diamonds as contrast to the ruby red, the emerald green or the deep ocean blue.
Of course, it could simply a combination of color and sparkle that caught her eye and she had to have. Emerald rings may have that effect on someone whether her birthday is in May or April. There doesn't have to be any rhyme or reason to gemstone and rings other than they are simply beautiful.
Fashion opal and diamond rings are hot right now and these styles fall into that category. Alternating colored stone with diamond, clustered pieces, retro shapes like big flowers or butterflies are all popular ways in which amethyst diamond or other pieces can be designed.
But, there can also be deep meaning to sapphire rings. It could be in celebration of a 5th, 45th or even a 70th wedding anniversary. Now that would be a major milestone and definitely worth celebrating!
Another trend that is cropping up is the use of combination stones in wedding sets. Ruby rings are a popular twist on the traditional wedding band. Engagement ring is even straying from the traditional diamond solitaire to a colored stone. These days, anything goes!
Taking care of these precious pieces
Because there are different gems mixed together, it is important to know which is the most delicate and follow the cleaning instructions for that one. The diamond can take pretty much anything, but it is the strongest stone by which all others are measured.
Some stones like the opal are delicate and should never be placed in cleaning solutions. Others have been treated either by heat, radiation or oils and other substances to obtain the most desirable color. Chemicals and temperature changes can damage the stone as well as the finish, so always ask the jeweler before cleaning or just take it him to ensure no damage is done.
This style can go to the next level and combine three different gems or four; there is really no limit as to what jewelry designers are doing with diamonds and colored gemstones. Because they are so versatile in meaning and in fashion, they are the perfect complement to any wardrobe. Everyone needs a few diamonds in their life, but shake things up by adding other stones to contrast the brilliant sparkle of the classic stone.
