Gemstones are a great choice for creating personalized, unique pieces of jewelry. They exist in almost every color imaginable, which means there is something for everyone. Birthstone gems are also a great gift idea, especially for baby gifts.

You can read more about different types of gemstones and their characteristics on our Gemstones page. Not all gems are suitable for rings, as some are very delicate and risk being damaged from the wear and tear of daily life. Gemstones can add a very classic touch, or they can make a piece of jewelry very contemporary and different.

Here are some examples of classic gemstone pieces we have created over the years:

We have also seen some pretty rare and beautiful loose gemstones, more unusual colors than the traditional greens, blues, and reds of emerald, sapphire, and ruby. Some examples:

A trio of beautifully cut aquamarines. These would make for a great modern piece of jewelry.
