Gemstone Wedding Rings
Gemstone Wedding Rings highlighting sapphires, tanzanites or other colorful gems as the focal point are both beautiful and stylish these days, especially appealing to the younger generations, who don’t want their parent’s diamonds in their wedding rings. Although diamond or plain wedding rings have been the most common choice for newly married couples over the last century, colorful Gemstone Wedding Rings have always had devoted fans and are becoming far more common. With rich hues and tones, a distinctive yet classic appeal, and sometimes a story to go along with them, beautiful Gemstone Wedding Bands are rising in popularity everywhere with brides to be of all kinds. The generic, plain wedding band has become an antiquated concept with so many Gemstone Wedding Rings available these days. Even the chain stores are now offering Gemstone Wedding Rings, albeit only with the big three of ruby, sapphire, or emerald.
The Appeal of Colored Gemstone Wedding Rings
Sapphires, among the earliest gemstones mentioned in historical documents, are an excellent choice for Gemstone Wedding Rings. Sapphires are gorgeous and very durable, so they hold up flawlessly to everyday wear. These very hard stones register a 9 out of 10 on the Mohs Scale, which rates gemstones’ durability, indicating very good hardness and ability to withstand scratches (in fact, only the diamond ranks higher among gems used for jewelry).
The Sapphire has long symbolized truth, sincerity, and faithfulness – maybe that is why the Sapphire is the most sought after gemstone for Engagement Rings or Wedding Ring Sets. The most desirable color for sapphires is a rich royal blue, currently famous for its use in Princess Diana’s engagement ring, now worn by Kate Middleton. If you love the style of these royal icons, you might want to consider our art deco milgrain sapphire band, which features sapphires interspersed throughout half circle cuts.
Our Wavy Men’s Sapphire Wedding Ring boasts an offset wavy channel of stones. In this one, the top is textured, but we can texture the other side or both sides. A wide variety of textures as well as stones can be used.
Unique Gemstone Wedding Rings
If the idea of Colored Gemstone Wedding Rings appeal to you, but aren’t sure that blue sapphire suits you. Never fear, there are plenty of other colors to choose from. Sapphires come in a range of tones and hues, including yellow, pink, orange, green, purple, and turquoise. We can create Gemstone Wedding Rings using yellow, pink or even green sapphires. Pink sapphires are a perfectly romantic and feminine choice. On the other hand, yellow sapphires are ideal for a glamorous look, colored diamond look.
While Sapphire may be the king of the colored gemstone, there are tons of other options. Many are less expensive and almost as durable. You also open yourself up to other colors.
This Channel Set Men’s Wedding Ring is a simple beveled band with 3 vertically channel set stones. It has a brushed finish, but it could be given any type of polish that you wanted.
Emeralds are another timeless choice for Colored Gemstone Wedding Rings. However, emeralds are far less durable than sapphires or diamonds. Because of this, extra care should be taken when wearing an wedding ring with emeralds in it. We like to channel set the emeralds in this brushed men’s wedding to give them extra protection. If you are just going for the green color, Tourmaline makes a better choice. Tourmaline comes in a wide variety of green tones and is much more durable than emerald. It is also a far cleaner stone.

Rubies can make gorgeous and distinctive wedding rings as well. Rubies have long been one of our favorite colored gemstones.

There are so many more options out there! As long as the stone you want is cut in the necessary size, we can put in in a custom wedding band. This French Pave wedding ring was made with aquamarine and pink tourmaline.
his Custom Milgrained Wedding Ring is 4mm wide and has milgrain forming paisley shapes going around the ring that are accented with Rubies.

Sapphires, Rubies, and Emeralds aren’t the only stones that can be used in Colored Gemstone Wedding Rings. We love tourmaline, peridot, aquamarine, tanzanite, opal, amethyst, etc.. All provide the chance to make your ring more personal to the customer.
The Bottom Line on Colored Gemstone Wedding Rings
Many newlyweds are opting for Gemstone Wedding Rings because they are able to purchase a ring with more or larger stones at a lower price. Diamonds continue to be one of the most expensive of all gems, opting to feature a sapphire or other colored gemstone rather than a diamond in your wedding ring can be financially responsible for newlyweds as well as stylish. Gemstones can make for affordable wedding and engagement rings. The amount of bang you can get for your buck with colored gemstones is far higher than with diamonds.
An even more affordable way to have a custom gemstone wedding ring create is to laboratory-grown sapphires. As with man made diamonds, sapphires that are made in a lab are chemically and optically the same as those naturally grown. Like their diamond counterparts, lab-grown sapphires are great alternative gemstones at a more comfortable price. The are also available in more colors than natural stones.
