Gemstone jewellery

A gemstone gives a piece of jewellery its colour, and often its meaning too. Here you will find all our gemstone jewellery in one place: rings, earrings, pendants, necklaces and bracelets, both vintage and from the Atelier collection. Filter by type, stone or price.

Choosing by colour

Many people choose a stone by its colour. Red is ruby or garnet, green is emerald or peridot, blue is sapphire, topaz or aquamarine, purple is amethyst and yellow is citrine. Diamond is colourless and goes with any other stone. In vintage jewellery you often see combinations, such as a sapphire surrounded by small diamonds. Looking for a ring? Have a look at our vintage gemstone rings and gemstone earrings as well.

Birthstones

A piece set with a birthstone makes a personal gift. The usual list: January garnet, February amethyst, March aquamarine, April diamond, May emerald, June pearl, moonstone or alexandrite, July ruby, August peridot, September sapphire, October opal or tourmaline, November topaz or citrine, December turquoise, tanzanite or zircon. You can read more about each stone in Discover your gemstone.

What to look for in a gemstone

Colour, clarity and cut determine how a stone looks. Its hardness determines how you wear it: diamond, sapphire and ruby can take a knock and suit a ring you wear every day. Opal, pearl and emerald need more care. Our gemmologist, a GIA Graduate Gemologist, examines the stones before a piece goes online. Not sure which stone suits you? Book an online consultation or drop in at one of our shops.

Keeping your stone at its best

Clean gemstone jewellery with lukewarm water, a drop of mild soap and a soft brush. Pearls, opal, emerald and turquoise should not go in an ultrasonic cleaner. You will find more tips in our guarantee and care guide.

Frequently asked questions

Are the gemstones real?

Our gemmologist examines the stones before a piece goes online, and the description tells you which stone it is. Every piece comes with a certificate.

Which gemstone is the most durable for a ring?

Diamond, sapphire and ruby are the hardest. Garnet, amethyst and topaz are fine for everyday wear too, as long as you take the ring off for heavy work or sport.
