5 Gemstones and Their Meanings

Every gemstone means something and, depending on what jewellery you wish to buy either as a gift for a loved one or for a special occasion, it could be a very important decision. Not only does every gemstone have personal value, but each has their own individual meaning which anyone at a glance can identify.

Let’s take a look at some of the most precious stones and what they could signify when you buy a necklace or bracelet with the embedded stone.

1. Topaz

The gemstone most widely associated with wealth, topaz’s beauty is unparalleled among any other gems. Topaz can come in a variety of shades, anything from a pale blue to yellow to completely colourless. Whatever form it comes in, it is always beautiful and shows inner spiritual guidance.

2. Sapphire

This blue stone is the hallmark of wisdom, virtue, good fortune and holiness among royalty. As deep blue as the ocean, sapphire truly is a highly sought-after stone that dazzles anyone that gazes upon it. The next time you look at the crown jewels, see if you can’t identify the sapphire embedded in Her Majesty’s crown.

3. Ruby

This fiery gemstone is the stone of nobility, worn by kings and queens throughout history due to its magnificence. Ruby has been known to help restore youth and vitality, as it represents the inner flame of life.

4. Emerald

The stone of successful love, emerald’s bright green hue is what makes it truly wonderful. Blessed be anyone who happens to be on the receiving end of such a wonderful gem as it can sometimes be much more precious than diamonds.

5. Rose Quartz

Lastly, the stone of the heart, rose quartz symbolises love, desire, and possession. It’s perfect for the right kind of relationship. While quartz does come in many different hues, rose is by far the loveliest and richest in meaning.

So, the next time you buy jewellery, your decision for that special gift will be a much more informed decision. A nice ruby-embedded ring for your significant other now holds more meaning.
