Gemstone jewelry is some of the most prized and treasured jewelry throughout the world. Rings, necklaces, earrings and bracelets that shimmer and shine with reflected light and beauty are popular in every culture and country. As such they are sought after by both collectors and people that just want the perfect piece of gemstone jewelry.

Gemstone jewelry may also be the prefect option for engagement jewelry. Gemstone rings featuring diamonds with sapphires, rubies, emeralds or any of the semi-precious stones are very unique looking and original, much different than the traditional all diamond sets.

Deciding on which color of gemstone jewelry to buy is really a personal taste decision. You may wish to consider buying a classic color or you may also look for a semi-precious stone that is a favorite color. Different settings may include two or more different gemstones, giving you lots of possible options.

For a true classic and very elegant ring it is hard to beat the dazzling and beautiful ruby rings. These traditional stones have been found in some of the most treasured rings throughout history and they go very well with all types of metals, including yellow and white gold. Additional gemstones, including diamonds, can be added to the setting to enhance the overall appearance of the ring.

Three stone rings that symbolize the past, present and future are a favorite gemstone jewelry piece. They can be added to a plain gold band to make a beautiful wedding set or they can be worn as a right hand ring. The versatility of these rings and the endless combination of gems possible makes them a great addition to any jewelry collection.

Earrings and necklaces will also be popular types of gemstone jewelry. The proximity to the face really highlights the beauty of the woman as well as the jewelry items. Faceted gems as well as the polished but not faceted cabochon style of gems are often used to produce different looks within earrings and necklaces.

Gemstone bracelets are also always a hit and a great addition to any jewelry collection. These bracelets can feature gemstones in the setting as seen in the tennis bracelet style, or the gems can be on charms or floating pendants around the bracelet.

Finding gemstone jewelry that is of high quality and excellent workmanship is important. Pay particular attention to the mounts or settings on the gemstone jewelry to ensure that they jewel is secure and well set into the piece.
