Jewellery has been a part of our tradition since ancient times, and the looks have gotten progressively modern to keep up with the times. From massive sets and collections that were at times half the wearer’s weight, to a more minimalistic approach with sleeker designs for daily wear. But there’s one thing that hasn’t evolved much over time, and that is the use of gemstones to beautify and complete the piece. The ravishing stones have featured on many statement and subtle jewellery designs to create simply stunning pieces. And at the top as the most popular ones, we have a list of four gorgeous gemstones to help you make pick your favourite -
- Diamonds

After diamonds, the most popular gemstone is the sapphire. Oceanic blue in colour, the stone gets its recognition as it was a huge part of the royalty of the United Kingdom. Add the stone to your platinum jewellery and find yourself becoming a different person as you flaunt them,

The stunning red queen of gemstones - rubies are a symbol of deep love and passion. Usually paired up with a gold base, it is given as an anniversary gift in certain cultures to signify one’s undying love for their partner. Most people don’t know this, but rubies are red sapphires.
- Amethyst
Amethyst is an old-school gemstone and was once regarded as quite a rare find, until massive deposits were found in some South American countries. As a result, it has now fallen behind the other stones but has maintained its integral beauty through its subtle yet deep purple shade.
