Beautiful Gemstone Jewelry

By George C.Baycan

There are very few types of jewelry that are as loved around the world as gemstone jewelry pieces. There are so many different colors and types of gems that shimmer, shine and highlight the beauty of gemstone jewelry and the personal taste of the wearer. Adding to your collection of gemstone jewelry is a great way to have the perfect piece to wear, no matter what the occasion.

Not all gemstone jewelry is for evening wear or even for day wear; it can also be perfect as an engagement ring. Gemstone rings that include combinations of diamonds with other precious stones are traditional and definitely different from the all diamond engagement rings that are also very popular.

Finding the right gemstone color for gemstone jewelry to match women's personality and taste is not as complicated as it may seem. Simply asking which precious or semi-precious stones she likes will usually solve the problem. Plus different types of gemstone jewelry can combine two or more different stones.

One of the most loved of all the gemstone jewelry items are the classic ruby rings. The deep, rich red color of the rings is particularly well matched to either yellow gold or any of the silver metals including platinum or white gold. These rings can be flanked with smaller diamonds either as chips or baguettes to really add to the beauty of the ring.

To change a simple yet classic wedding set into a thing of beauty consider addition a three stone ring. These gemstone jewelry pieces symbolize the present, past and future and are a terrific anniversary, birthday or Christmas gift. Of course they can also be used as a right hand ring as well, making them a very functional type of ring.

Earrings and necklaces will also be popular types of gemstone jewelry. The proximity to the face really highlights the beauty of the woman as well as the jewelry items. Faceted gems as well as the polished but not faceted cabochon style of gems are often used to produce different looks within earrings and necklaces.

For the wrist a gemstone jewelry bracelet is a true fashion statement. Bracelets can be worn with virtually any outfit and are great for sporty wear with the tennis bracelet style or more elegant evening wear in a charm bracelet or bangle bracelet style.

Finding gemstone jewelry that is of high quality and excellent workmanship is important. Pay particular attention to the mounts or settings on the gemstone jewelry to ensure that they jewel is secure and well set into the piece.
