Shape Your Sentiments into Something Tangible
Especially for those seeking a unique twist in their wedding rings, incorporating color stones can be a charming way to infuse personal flair.
However, selecting the right gemstone can be daunting for some.
For instance, birthstones, associated with each month, are believed to bring happiness to those who wear their month's stone.
Each gemstone also has its own "gem language," which, like the language of flowers, expresses the symbolic meaning of the gemstone according to its characteristics.
Not only can you choose your own or your partner's birthstone, but selecting a gemstone based on its gem language as a talisman is also a wonderful idea.
Let's explore the birthstones for the months of March to May - aquamarine, diamond, and emerald.
March Birthstone: Aquamarine
Aquamarine features cool, refreshing and bright blue hue.
As its name means "water of the sea" in Latin, it was worn by sailors as a nautical amulet.
Aquamarine is a mineral called beryl, the same as emerald.
Unlike emeralds, which are mostly small, there are many relatively large crystals, and its high hardness makes it a shock-resistant gemstone that is easy to use on a daily basis.
Its gem language signifies "love," "healing," and "silence," making it a popular choice for symbolizing a blissful marriage. It can serve as the "something old" for brides, subtly set inside the ring.
April Birthstone: Diamond
Synonymous with jewels, diamonds are April birthstones.
While known for their clear appearance, their transparency varies, with higher clarity being more valued.
Diamonds also come in various colors, known as fancy color diamonds, including yellow, pink, blue, brown, and even black. Yellow, pink and blue are often incorporated into bridal jewellery.
Diamonds are said to be the hardest mineral on earth on the Mohs hardness scale, which is a measure of scratch resistance when scratched.
However, it is important to note that diamonds can crack and peel off layers when subjected to impact from bumping against them.
Stone words are "eternal bond", "promise of love" and "oath of fidelity".
This gemstone is entrusted with meanings appropriate to a ring commemorating a marriage.
May Birthstone: Emerald
"Emerald green" is a distinctive, bright, dark green, which is also the name of the colour.
Emeralds, one of the world's three most precious gems, are of the same mineral type as aquamarine, beryl, and have a high Mohs hardness, but are delicate gems that are sensitive to impact.
They symbolize "fortune," "happiness," "unconditional love," and "a blissful marriage," along with possessing healing properties, making them ideal amulets.
Creative Placement of Birthstones
Birthstones can be set not just where they're visible but also hidden inside the ring as a private charm.
This allows even those who cannot wear colorful rings due to professional reasons to enjoy the significance of color stones.
Natural gemstones vary in hardness and characteristics.
At ith, each ring is crafted with care to ensure it's suitable for a lifetime of wear.
