Diamonds used to be the cult classic stone for engagement rings<\/a> amongst women. However rubies, sapphires and emeralds are having their moment now among couples striving to be different. The trend towards gemstone<\/a> rings also shot through the roof for many other reasons.<\/p>

For one, gemstones carry strong symbolism<\/a> and are said to represent different kinds of powers<\/strong>. For instance, aquamarine means courage, sapphire stands for peace and happiness, rubies are the protectors of misfortune while the emerald aids fertility<\/a>.<\/p>

Another reason is that opting coloured gemstones are way more ethical<\/a> <\/strong>as compared to diamonds. If you haven't already known, diamonds\u00a0have been known to fuel conflict and civil wars and the mining process often include child labour, poor working conditions and minimum wages for miners.<\/p>

Diamonds may be a girl\u2019s best friend<\/a>, but\u00a0quality gemstones are certainly an original, one-of-a-kind, meaningful piece that will speak on behalf of you and your partner's love story - a\u00a0piece of jewelry<\/a> you can proudly show off and call yours.<\/p>
