DON'T MISS A THING

Jewelries are signs of love, commitment, and personality which is most especially seen in engagement rings. As much as diamonds are considered to be classic engagement rings, many couples are now looking for other pieces of jewelry that tell their individual story. As we know every stone has its meaning, this gives another level of meaning to the ring. For today’s article, I decided to dive into the symbolism of the most used stones in engagement rings.

Diamonds: Eternal Emblems of Eternity

Diamond engagement rings have been associated with love as precious as diamonds because of strength and durability. Diamonds hold the meaning of a perpetual bond, which is why they are referred to as the “stone of invincibility”. Its levels of shine and hardness can barely be matched, therefore they signify strength for everyday wear as well as an invincible love. 

Classic round or romantic heart-shaped diamonds are available with sophisticated and timeless appeal, thus making these rings the symbol of promise forever as they captivate light as it does in promises.

Sapphires: Stone of Wisdoms and Loyalty

Sapphire is that gemstone that ancient civilization appreciated due to its indications of wisdom, loyalty, and sincerity. Originally, it was thought that guardian angels defended their owners from other people’s jealousy and evil intentions. Nowadays they are common among those who want to have unique but at the same time luxurious eyeglasses. An engagement ring made of sapphire reminds love and the ability of the partner to abide by their love’s desire in spiritual ways. The gemstone comes in different colors and is known to be in a class of its own, deep blue like that of Princess Diana’s ring and its impressive meaning makes it a beautiful substitute for diamonds that brings color into engagement rings.

Rubies: It is also essential to underline that such symbols reveal the passion that is inherent to lovers.

The ones with red color, rubies symbolize strong feelings like love, passion and it is among the gems associated with courage. This cheerful stone is widespread; especially among the kings: it is thought to give the owner protection and luck. Rubies are right for whoever wants their engagement ring to represent intense love. Because of its hardness and bright color, it can be easily recommended for those couples who do not fear their love and their union.

Emeralds: Precious Pearls of Hope and Reincarnation

Emeralds, with their beautiful green coloring of the stone, draw symbolism of hope, rebirth as well as growth. It must be mentioned that these stones are, by all means, associated with nature and signify love, fertility, and rebirth. Celtic engagement rings such as the Emerald engagement rings are most suitable for those who desire order, a restored union, beauty as well as the prospect of a fresh start. While softer than diamonds and sapphires, Emeralds can provide an interesting cut that symbolizes life and love.

Morganite: The second stone is called the Stone of Compassion.

Morganite, which has a gentle pink shade, is very popular nowadays due to its rather tender look. This means-empathy, wholeness, and acceptance – can be attributed to this stone. It complements rose gold settings and can be used in different themes giving a warm rosy appearance. Morganite can be recommended to those who do not like gaudy and glamorous things and dream of an engagement ring that would speak about love and fairness.

Aquamarine: Returning from Kubrick’s symbolic representation of calm, the ‘Calm Stone of Clarity’

The name signifies water, particularly the sea. The color of the water is blue which relates to calmness, honesty, and the clear relationship of Aquamarine. This stone is perfect for those who consider relationships as the cooperation of two equal members. It is even cheaper and the lavender shade gives it a cuteness which sets it aside from the usual diamond.

Wrapping Up

Selecting an engagement ring stone is not simple by the look it has; it is about identifying an emblem of your relationship. When it comes to the gemstones the sparkle of the diamonds and the passion of the ruby each hold a special message on the path of love and fidelity.
