Sapphires and Rubies Engagement Rings:
Sapphires and Rubies are another suitable
choice for an engagement ring. Sapphires are members of the corundum
mineral family, existing in every colour. Red corundum is known by its

rubies are the next hardest minerals and they are a very durable
gemstone.

Emerald Engagement Rings:
Emeralds are an incredibly beautiful
gemstone, and it is possible to have an emerald in your engagement ring
but there is several factors you must consider. Emeralds are a soft
stone, which feature natural inclusions. Because of this they are
susceptible to chipping and wearing, however this doesn’t mean they
can’t be used. Factors such as type of setting used, and how rough you
are with your jewellery must be taken into consideration.

Tourmaline Engagement Rings:
Tourmaline is another beautiful stone. It
comes in a wide variety of colours, from greens to blues to pinks to
yellows. It is a relatively hard stone that is suitable for an
engagement ring.

Opals and Pearl Engagement Rings:
Opals and pearls are generally not durable
enough for engagement rings, however at the end of the day the choice
is a personal one. If care is taken to look after your ring there is no
reason why you can’t have any stone you wish to create a more personal
and unusual engagement ring.
