The ruby is a gemstone that holds significant meaning and symbolism, making it the perfect choice for an engagement ring. Its rich history and deep red hue make it a timeless and classic choice for any couple looking for a meaningful and symbolic ring that represents their love and commitment.

 

Blue

Blue hues are intimately connected with the natural world as it is the colour of both the sky and water. Just as water gives life, blues are thought to assist in healing - additionally, as both the sky and sea are eternal, blue can represent steadfastness, loyalty, and calm, and help you to clear your mind.

This regal colour is fit for royalty. Princess Diana and Kate both chose a blue stone over traditional white diamonds. The two blue stones that have become royal heirlooms are Aquamarine and Sapphire.

Aquamarine is as bright and vivid as a tropical ocean, symbolising courage and communication. As a reminder to express your love for another on a daily basis, may it be through words or actions. With a history of sailors using the stone as protection it is a representation of modern fidelity and eternal love.

Blue sapphires are said to protect against negative energies, as well as calm the mind, strengthen intuition and invite spiritual clarity. They are associated with wisdom, loyalty, and nobility, making them a powerful symbol of a lasting and committed relationship. When a couple chooses a sapphire to represent their relationship, they are often expressing their desire for a relationship that is built on trust, loyalty, and mutual understanding. The strength and durability of sapphire also represent the couple's commitment to stand by each other through all of life's ups and downs.

White

White is most synonymous with purity, both in an emotional, spiritual, and physical sense. It is a blank slate or an optimistic fresh start.

Diamonds are associated with purity, clarity, and strength, making them the ultimate symbol of love and commitment. When a couple chooses a diamond for their engagement ring, they are often expressing their desire for a relationship that is pure, honest, and enduring. The hard, durable nature of a diamond also represents the strength of their commitment to one another, even in times of challenge.

In the first century AD, the Roman naturalist Pliny is quoted as having said, “Diamond is the most valuable, not only of precious stones, but of all things in this world.” Learn more about the history of Diamonds in our blog: April's Birthstone-The Diamond
