Precious gemstones have adorned royal heads, aristocratic necks and distinguished hands from immemorial time and have been loved equally by men and by women.<\/p>\n

Although they never really disappeared from high jewellery creations, in recent years we have noticed an interesting return of colored gemstones into less expensive collections. To my great joy, colorful hooks, studs, pendants, rainbow bracelets and of course wonderful rings have reappeared. In the shop windows of my city, I have seen more and more sapphires, rubies and emeralds, furthermore tanzanite, peridot, aquamarine, topaz, tourmaline and even yellow diamonds, hurray! In the world there is a huge need for positivity and cheerfulness which I believe can be expressed also through this return to colors.<\/p>\n

Probably the engagement ring of the late Lady D (which now shines on the ring finger of the new Princess of Wales) was the forerunner for this revival and rivers of ink have been poured to describe it. However, we must not forget how Ben Affleck’s sophisticated taste gave a push to the gems world, as he proposed to JLo in 2002 with an incredible ring designed by Harry Winston, surmounted by a pink diamond, reminding us that colored diamonds are alive and kicking.<\/p>\n

From that momnet, we have admired the wonderful rings of Elizabeth Hurley, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Eva Longoria, Heidi Klum, Halle Berry, followed by those gifted to Scarlett Johansson, Princess Eugenie, Jessica Simpson, Gwyneth Paltrow, Princess Martha Louise of Norway, just to name a few.<\/p>\n

Rings with colored stones are so popular because they break away from the tradition according which diamond are the only symbol of love, they stand out from the crowd and give the wearer a clear personality. Then the variety of gemstones is so wide that almost every color of the spectrum can be represented and everyone\u2019s taste can be satisfied!<\/p>\n

So it is no surprise that jewellery maisons have implemented their collections with new jewels, choosing colored gemstones in lieu of the traditional diamonds, or having diamonds and colored gemstones placed side by side in a more elaborate design.<\/p>\n

At first, the intensity of color captures our attention, but I\u2019m sure you agree with me that it is also interesting to discover all the characteristics of a gem: some analyses deepen the chemical properties, some researches explain the symbolic value that ancient traditions give to each gemstone and, finally, some studies link one or more stones to each month of the year.<\/p>\n

Here below, we will see some of the finest gems and a roundup of beautiful and famous rings!<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s start with corundum: probably this word is not familiar to you, but if I say sapphire or ruby, I’m sure a big smile will appear on your face!<\/p>\n

Both these beloved gems belong to the corundum family and share the same crystal structure. Red corundum is ruby, while sapphires come in different shades, although blue is the most required.<\/p>\n
