Malachite
Malachite might not be an incredibly rare gemstone historically. In fact, there are whole rooms decorated in the gorgeous green stone. Due to over-mining, however, malachite has become one of the rarest stones on the market.
ChloBo Gold Wandering Free Malachite Bracelet GBMFR3227
This ChloBo bracelet stands out not only with its distinctive boho charm, but its use of malachite beads. The rare gemstone is incorporated between gold-plated beads in different shapes. A large eight-point star-embossed charm is also featured on the bracelet. The combination of gold and green highlights the stone’s stunning hues. This bracelet is the perfect gift for those who have a more understated taste in jewellery and would prefer something they can wear daily.
Tanzanite
A lot of people probably haven’t even heard of tanzanite! This beautiful blue-purple stone is one of the rarest gemstones mined today. Tanzanite is only found in a very small area in Tanzania. It is highly valued for its vibrant violet colour and its remarkable colour-shifting abilities.
Greenspark 18k White Gold 1.73ct Tanzanite Diamond Ring RN5684
Tanzanite’s colour makes it a perfect engagement ring choice for those who want to stand out. This ring especially is a fantastic example of the versatility of the gemstone. The ring is made of 18-carat white gold. Its band is half-set with diamonds, ensuring both glamour and comfort. The central stone is of course a cushion-cut tanzanite. Surrounding it in a halo are more diamonds which beautifully complement the stone’s lustre.
Ruby
In a contrast to tanzanite, rubies are well-known by anyone. The stone’s striking deep red colour has made it one of the most celebrated gemstones in history. This, however, doesn’t mean that rubies are not rare. Rubies are some of the rarest gems. Though good imitations and even some genuine but low-quality rubies are available, nothing can beat a stone of true quality with its deep mesmerizing red.
Elements Gold 9k Yellow Gold Ruby And Diamond Heart Drop Earrings GE2284R
These heart-drop earrings are both sweet and stylish. Their design makes the six rubies set in the centre of the heart-shaped earring stand out. Encircling the rubies are diamonds. The earrings themselves are made of 9-carat yellow gold. These earrings are suitable for truly anyone as their timeless design moulds itself to whatever aesthetic the wearer wishes to portray.
