How to wear a semi precious stone ring


Semi-precious stones are an essential part of any woman’s jewellery collection. But, these special gemstones need to be treated with extra special care - particularly when worn on the fingers. Before you personalise your new gold​ stacking rings,​ read our guide on how to wear a semi-precious stone ring.


What are semi-precious stones?

There are only four precious gemstones in the world: diamonds, rubies, sapphires and emeralds. These are the most expensive stones on the market.

Semi-precious stones make up the rest of the stones, many of which you’ll already know by name. So, you are rather spoilt for choice! Popular options include amethyst, lapis lazuli, moonstone, opal, labradorite and urban​ green onyx rings.​

As an offshoot of semi-precious stones, we have organic gemstones, which are produced by organisms. Key examples are pearl, jet, amber and coral.


Tips on how to wear a semi-precious stone ring-
To help you wear your beautiful new Jewel​ Tree London​ring,​ we’ve compiled a common list of typical questions.



Use a ring size guide- When choosing your band, you will need to ensure that you get the right size. This is particularly important with a semi-precious gemstone - you don’t want it slipping off. Even swivelling can make it vulnerable to scratches and chips. Refer to an online ring​ size guide​prior​ to purchase to guarantee the best fit.

Should a semi-precious ring be saved for formal wear?

Not at all, you shouldn’t feel overdressed if you choose to wear it during the day. A pair

of gold​ stacking rings​infused​ with a semi-precious gemstone of your choice is perfect for your daytime ensemble. Our only advice is to keep the rest of your jewellery neutral, so as not to overdo it.


 
Can I mix semi-precious gems?

This will depend on the colours of your semi-precious stones. We wouldn’t recommend wearing green​ onyx rings with​ lapis lazuli. These two bold colours will clash with one another. However, lapis lazuli will look sensational with an opalescent stone such as moonstone. And your urban​​green​ onyx rings​will​ coordinate perfectly with black onyx.



What metal should I choose?

Your semi-precious ring may be affixed to a metal band of your choice. Really, this will depend on the stone. Some semi-precious stones look best with sterling silver, others bond more favourably with gold. Don’t forget that within the gold sphere, you can choose from yellow, white or rose! Shop at a boutique such as the Jewel​ Tree London,​ where a variety of metals are available to choose from.



Do semi-precious stones go with organic gemstones?

In some cases, yes. Again - you will need to consider the colour and opacity of the stones in question. A pearl will clash with ultra-sparkling gemstones such as peridot, whilst amber with aquamarine is not easy on the eye. You could embed your choices within a gold​ stacking ring so​ that they blend together harmoniously and subtly.
