Semi-precious Stones: An Overview of the Most Beautiful Gemstones

Semiprecious Stones: A Fascinating Realm Beyond Diamonds and Rubies

The distinction between precious and semiprecious stones is scientifically outdated today, but still present in marketing. So-called semiprecious stones encompass a beautiful palette that is often more attractive for jewelry than their more traditional counterparts. An overview.

Amethyst

Violet quartz – from delicate lavender to deep reddish-purple. February birthstone. Inexpensive for large stones, beautiful in any size, ideal for striking cocktail rings.

Citrine

Golden yellow to orange-brown quartz. November birthstone. Warm and sunny – ideal in yellow gold. Affordable for large stones.

Aquamarine

Sea-blue beryl. March birthstone. Exceptional clarity, Mediterranean lightness, very good for everyday wear (Mohs 7.5-8).

Moonstone

Feldspar with a shifting blue-white shimmer (adularescence). June birthstone. Mystical and unique – no two moonstones are alike.

Labradorite

Feldspar with an aurora borealis play of colors. Not a birthstone – but a statement stone like no other. Set in silver: irresistible.

Opal

October birthstone. The most spectacular play-of-color in the gemstone world – no other stone looks quite like it.

Rose Quartz

Delicate pink quartz – symbol of love and self-care. Affordable, beautiful, ideal for everyday jewelry.
