Engagement rings with
Coloured Gemstones
For centuries it was traditional for engagement rings to feature coloured gemstones. Indeed, the appeal of using coloured gems in engagement rings, seems obvious. It was a way to emphasise a special part of the relationship, since different colours have long symbolised various aspects of human life. In the last few years however, the public mood has begun to swing back slightly and we see more and more coloured gemstones being set into engagement rings to propose marriage once more. If you are considering coloured gemstones for your engagement ring, we suggest to either go for rubies, emeralds or sapphires.
The
Ruby
The ruby stands for passionate love and is generally considered to be the king of coloured gemstones. Because of its deep connection with the highest form of beauty, Gübelin uses a small ruby as a design signature in each of the House’s creation. It is a symbol for Gübelin’s Deeply Inspired philosophy and the way the House’s artisans find inspiration for precious jewellery deep within the precious inner worlds of magnificent gemstones. The perfect stone of love for an engagement ring.
The
Emerald
Emeralds with their fascinating inner worlds symbolise eternal youth and springtime and can be found in the creation myths of many cultures. Even Cleopatra is said to have deeply appreciated this beautiful gemstone in her jewellery. Furthermore, are emeralds symbolic of new beginnings and make an excellent choice for your engagement ring.
The
Sapphire
The sapphire is probably best known for its blue variety and has for centuries been intimately linked with royalty and nobility. And indeed, it is hard to find a gemstone that can rival the deep and intense blue colours of the divine sapphire. However, this gem comes in almost every colour of the rainbow, like the magnificent orangey pink padparadscha sapphire that has adorned Princess Eugenie’s engagement ring since her betrothal in 2018.
