I was doing some research on coloured gemstones for a client who wanted to use something different in her engagement ring. She was moving away from the traditional diamond set engagement ring and more towards having a coloured gemstone to go in the centre of her ring, we had gone through her birthstone – which was Aquamarine by the way.
But she wasn’t drawn to that idea.
So we started to talk about what different celebrities were wearing and so on, thinking that we might be able to spark some inspiration for her by using a real life example. I haven’t gotten back to her yet, but what I have found is a short list of the most famous coloured gemstones that have been mined worldwide. I have put a link on the page to make it easy for you, but without giving too much away be prepared to see some mega gemstones here!

They have pictures of huge carat weight gems, just take the first one for example, have you ever seen a 1759 carat emerald crystal before???
I didn’t think so…
Have some fun with this and let yourself be blown away at what the natural world is capable of creating… When I see things like this it reminds me about how fantastic a place we live in, just look at those perfectly formed crystals right out of the ground!
