What is the meaning of gem colour in rings? A unique gem speaks volumes about your personality, and if it’s an engagement or anniversary ring, also your relationship. See which gemstone you are drawn to below, and discover the meaning behind its gorgeous colour.
Pink
Pink is the ultimate feminine colour. What’s more, like the sacred lotus flower in Asian lore, it stands for beauty, kindness and unconditional love. It is a highly favourable colour for engagement rings and anniversary rings, because pink gemstones are said to protect the love between the ring’s wearer and its giver for an entire lifetime.
White
White is a colour associated with light and snow. That’s why it stands for purity, sincerity and true feelings. A lustrous white pearl or an opal make wonderful, timeless birthday gifts. Representing successful new beginnings, loyalty and love, white gems are full of positive meaning. So it’s no surprise it’s the most popular gem colour for engagement rings and anniversaries.
Red
Red stands for love, passion and joy – the perfect symbol of romance. Full of vitality and warmth, a red gemstone engagement or anniversary ring made with rubies or garnets will always stand out from the crowd and make you feel very special. Red gems are also said to encourage stable, loving and happy relationships.
Blue
Blue is the colour of royalty. It also brings to mind cool water and beautiful cloudless skies. Blue gemstone engagement rings, such as sapphires, symbolise peace and tranquillity. They are said to bring good communication, harmony and respect into relationships.
Black
Black is associated with style, prestige and depth of character. The profound sparkle of black diamonds is reminiscent of a vast night sky filled with stars. Black diamonds are said to be the ideal gem for elegant power couples who find strength in each other.
Yellow
Yellow is the colour of sunshine. It represents happiness, intelligence and energy. As yellow gemstones look warm, or even fiery, they’re thought to put a ‘spark’ in your relationship. Joyfulness, loyalty and spontaneity are the other characteristics associated with yellow gems.
Purple
Lavender, violet and mulberry are rich colours that look exotic and mysterious. Lilac symbolises intuition and inspiration. Purple engagement ring stones are thought to help remove obstacles and bring excitement and adventure into your relationship.
Green
Green symbolises springtime, nature, growth and freshness. It brings to mind lush gardens and beautiful forests. It is also a colour associated with money. According to gemstone lore, green gems in engagement rings promote a life full of wealth, fertility and health.
