Gemstones for your Wedding and Engagement Rings



A gemstone is a precious mineral, which is cut and polished to make jewelry. As an alternative to diamonds for the budget conscious couple, beautiful gemstones can be set on your wedding or engagement ring to give it that complete finishing. These coloured gems are beautiful and can replace diamonds. In ancient times, some precious gems are associated with the zodiac sign or the month one is born in.
Since you may not be using diamond as your ring gem, you can use a modern gemstone of your favourite colour or the one that corresponds to your birth month. It will be interesting to know that in ancient times, these gemstones were believed to cure some diseases and ailments. Birthstones have meanings attached to them. Whatever meaning your gemstone may have, you would notice that every wedding couple will want those qualities associated with all gemstones to be associated with their marriage. Your wedding jeweler can set the bride’s birthstone on the wedding ring and the groom’s birthstone on the engagement ring. Some months offer the option of traditional and modern stones, however, have a sparkling gemstone set on your wedding jewelry.
