All AboutGemstone Jewellery
Coloured gemstones bring character diamonds cannot, and these UK jewellers work with sapphire, emerald, ruby and rarer stones alike. Gemstone jewellery lets you choose a colour with real personal meaning, from a birthstone pendant to a statement sapphire ring, and the specialists here know how to source and set each type well.
Popular Stones and Their Traits
Sapphire and ruby are hard-wearing and suit everyday rings, emerald is softer and needs a little more care, and stones such as aquamarine, tourmaline and opal each bring their own colour and character. A good jeweller explains how a stone will wear over time so you can match it to how the piece will be used.
Sourcing and Certification
Colour, origin and treatment all affect a gemstone's value, so ask whether a stone is natural, heat-treated or lab-created, and request certification on anything significant. The makers listed here can trace their stones and advise on ethical sourcing, giving you confidence in both the beauty and the provenance of a piece.
