Tanzanite
Elements Gold 9ct White Gold Tanzanite Diamond Centre Flower Pendant GP781M
Tanzanite is a beautiful gemstone with a unique blue-purple colour. The gemstone is named as it is as the world’s most significant deposit of tanzanite is found in northern Tanzania. It is believed that tanzanite is rarer than diamonds, making it a very desirable gemstone. This necklace features a flower-shaped pendant. Each petal of the pendant is set with a marquise-cut tanzanite gemstone. This gives the flower a gentle, lilac-blue colour. A diamond is set at the centre of the flower to add an extra touch of sparkle. This arrangement hangs from a delicate chain that is crafted from 9-carat white gold.
Morganite
James Moore TH 9ct Rose Gold Diamond & Morganite Ring RD467RM
Despite being a more unusual choice of gemstone, morganite is definitely an up and coming option. Morganite is a stunning, pale pink colour that perfectly complements every tone of metal, but goes especially well with rose gold. In recent years, this gemstone has become a popular choice in engagement rings due to its romantic hue. This ring exhibits an oval-cut morganite gemstone at its centre. The band of the ring is made from 9-carat rose gold. This metal is a very modern choice that is favoured for its warmth and feminine charm. The band of the ring splits into two as it approaches the shoulders. The shoulders of the band are set with beautiful, sparkling diamonds that perfectly frame the pale pink central stone.
Blue Topaz
Elements Gold 9k White Gold Blue Topaz Tennis Bracelet 17-19cm GB476T
If you are searching for a blue gemstone, aquamarine and sapphire gemstones are probably already on your radar. These popular choices are very beautiful, but if you want something more unusual then blue topaz is worth some consideration. This bracelet is entirely set with rectangular cut blue topaz gemstones for a striking, all-blue design. Tennis bracelets are traditionally set with diamonds, so a bold and colourful alternative is sure to turn heads. The vibrant gemstones are set into 9-carat white gold. White gold is a very popular choice of metal as its pale hue pairs well with colourful gemstones and it has the same luxurious feel as the more traditional yellow gold.
Pink Sapphire
James Moore TH 9k Yellow Gold Pink Sapphire and Diamond Ring RD217PS
The most common sapphires used in jewellery are a deep blue colour. However, this beautiful gemstone actually comes in a wide range of shades. Pink sapphires are one of the most fun and feminine sapphire options. This ring is crafted from 9-carat yellow gold. Yellow gold is a very traditional choice in jewellery. Its warm tone and luxuriously polished finish ensure it will be a core piece in any jewellery collection for years to come. The ring is set with a series of square-cut pink sapphires. The vibrant tone of the sapphires stands out from the gold band to create an eye-catching finish. The sapphires are alternated with clusters of small diamonds to add an extra hint of sparkle to the ring.
Smoky Quartz
Elements Gold 9ct Yellow Gold Irregular Smoky Quartz Earrings GE2383Y
Smoky quartz is an unusual choice of gemstone as it does not exhibit a bright or bold colour like other options. This gemstone is a warm brown-grey colour. This means that it fits perfectly into the current trend of neutral-toned accessories. These stud earrings are set with irregular-cut smoky quartz gemstones. This irregular cut gives the gemstones a more natural and slightly undone look. A ring of sparkling diamonds frames the smoky quartz centre stone on each earring. This cluster of gemstones is set onto a 9-carat yellow gold back that is secured using a push back and post fastening.
Green Amethyst
Elements Gold 9ct Yellow Gold Green Amethyst And Diamond Cocktail Ring Size EU52 (UK L 1/2) GR543G 52
Green amethysts are a lesser-known variety of amethyst gemstones. Amethyst is most commonly used in its vibrant purple colour, but the stone does come in an array of shades. Green amethyst exhibits a subtle green colour, making it a softer choice than emerald or peridot. This ring is crafted from yellow gold to provide a luxurious and traditional setting for this unusual gemstone. A rectangular green amethyst gemstone is set at the centre of the ring, creating a bold focal point. The stone is held in place using a four claw setting that protects each corner of the gemstone. The shoulders of the band of the ring are set with diamonds for another layer of luxury.
Labradorite
ChloBo Cosmic Ray Silver Labradorite Ray Charm Bracelet 18cm SBL3191
