Gemstone Rings have a deep and ancient significance that becomes more interesting as you explore their rich history. There are layers of meaning and symbolism, myth and "lore", science, and even religion. The language and symbolism of gemstone jewelry is ancient, deep, and often spiritual.

The stories behind gemstone jewelry originally arose from the "Breastplate of Aaron"―a ceremonial religious garment that was set with twelve gemstones, representing the twelve tribes of Israel from the Old Testament or Torah. The twelve gemstones also represented the twelve months of the year and later came to be associated with the twelve months of the year as birthstone rings.

Properties of Gemstone Rings

The beautiful gemstones in our gemstone rings are all guaranteed natural, authentic gemstones. Gemstones are derived from natural, organic minerals. The ruby and the sapphire, for example, come from the mineral corundum, one of the hardest minerals on earth.

Although pure corundum is colorless, small traces of other natural elements such as chrome, titanium, iron, and vanadium are what bring color to corundum, from which we derive several of our precious gemstones.
