Is it a birthstone? Is it a black opal direct? Does it mean anything? Is it just for fashion? The answer to all of them is yes.
Peridot and diamond rings are a twist on the traditional opal and diamond ring for August and anyone can have the same look with their own stone. There's no rule that says a gemstone ring can't be adorned with some sparkling diamonds to contrast with ruby red, emerald green or deep ocean blue.
Of course, it could just be the combination of color and glitter that caught her eye and she had to have it. Emerald rings can have such an effect on someone whether their birthday is in May or April. There may be no rhyme or reason to gemstones and rings other than they are simply beautiful.
Fashion rings are hot right now and these styles fall into that category. Alternating the colored stone with the diamond, clustered pieces, retro shapes like large flowers or butterflies are all popular ways to design an amethyst diamond or other pieces.
But sapphire rings can also have a deep meaning. It could be to celebrate a 5th, 45th or even 70th wedding anniversary. Now that would be a major milestone and definitely worth celebrating!
Another emerging trend is the use of combined stones in wedding sets. Ruby rings are a popular twist on the traditional wedding ring. The engagement ring even deviates from the traditional diamond solitaire to a colored stone. Anything goes these days!
Caring for these precious pieces
Since different gemstones are mixed together, it is important to know which is the most delicate and follow the cleaning instructions for that one. Diamond can handle pretty much anything, but it is the strongest stone by which all others are measured.
Some stones like opal are delicate and should never be placed in cleaning solutions. Others have been treated with either heat, radiation, or oils and other substances to achieve the most desirable color. Chemicals and changes in temperature can damage the stone as well as the finish, so always ask a jeweler before cleaning or take it in to make sure there is no damage.
This style can go to the next level and combine three different gems or four; There really is no limit to what jewelry designers can do with diamonds and colored gemstones. Because they are so versatile in meaning and fashion, they are the perfect addition 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 a classic stone.
