Gemstones are highly prized for their color and brilliance. Yet with such a wide array of gemstones to choose from, it can be easy to get overwhelmed and confused about which one to select.
While the “big four” stones – diamond, ruby, sapphire, and emerald jewelry – will always be popular, the landscape of gemstone jewelry is constantly evolving. In recent years, semi-precious gemstones are also gaining their well-deserved spot in the limelight as much as their more famous counterparts.
So if you’re planning to buy a piece of gemstone jewelry, it pays to narrow down the list of gemstones and know which ones have been gracing the runways, red carpets, and trade shows worldwide. Let’s get to know some of these most popular gemstones today.
