GEMSTONE RING MEANINGS
Every gemstone has some history behind it – a story and meaning that makes it special. In the past, ancient civilizations literally believed gemstones had powers, and to this day, we hold these meanings close to our hearts.
Of course, you can choose a ring simply on how it catches your eye aesthetically, but it is nice to know what history says the gemstones symbolize.
Let the meanings of the following gemstones help you decide which gemstone ring is right for you.
Sapphire
The blue sapphire is the symbol of loyalty. Ancient humans believed the earth rested on a giant blue sapphire, which is why the sky was blue.
And while sapphires come in many shades and tones of blue, such as velvety blue, cornflower blue, and liquid blue, they also can be pink, green, yellow, orange, and purple.
Ruby
The ruby is the ultimate expression of passion, courage, and power. It’s a gemstone that has been deeply treasured for thousands of years. Ancient cultures believed the lustrous blood-red stone could improve their life, power, wisdom and even beauty. To this day, humans are innately drawn to rubies.
Emeralds
The emerald is the most calming gemstone. It represents healing and fertility. Old legends say that by placing an emerald under your tongue, you will have the ability to foresee the future and that wearing the emerald protects you from evil spirits and it can cure disease. Its soothing energy is said to provide healing powers on all levels of the being who wears it. We are talking immune system, liver function, eyesight, detoxification and everything else we require to be healthy.
SEMI-PRECIOUS GEMSTONE RING SYMBOLISM
While the four precious gemstones – diamonds, rubies, sapphires and emeralds – are the most desirable and expensive, semi-precious gemstones are also very special to people, now and in the past. Here are some of our favorite meanings behind semi-precious gemstones…
Topaz
The Topaz expresses love and fidelity. It is said to bestow strength and intelligence on the wearer.
Opal
The opal is a fascinating gemstone as within one stone you have many different colors. Because of this, opals are believed to posses supernatural powers. The ancient Greeks imagined that opals provided the gift of prophecy and protection from diseases. These days, we like to say opals are the symbol of hope, purity and truth.
Amethyst
The Amethyst’s spiritual meaning is of roundedness, tranquility, and calm. The violet stone immediately provides peace of mind when looking at it, releasing you of anger, frustration, and fury. It is one of the most spiritually rich crystals of all time, which is why psychics, mediums and other divination practitioners still hold it in the highest regard.
Aquamarine
The aquamarine takes meaning in confidence, purpose, soothing, cleanings, and serenity. One looks at the transparent, pale blue stone and you can see why. It sparkles like the ocean on a perfectly clear day. If you want a gemstone ring that will release stress, this is the one. It is also said to have an affinity with sensitive people.
Garnet
The garnet can sometimes be confused with the ruby, as the stone looks similar. It holds some of the same meanings to people as well. Garnets inspire romantic love, passion, sensuality, sexuality, intimacy, energy, and success. It’s a beautiful gemstone for those fond of the most powerful color of them all, red.
White Pearl
Unlike all the other semi-precious gemstones, the white pearl doesn’t come from the Earth’s crust, rather they are formed in a living creature – saltwater oysters. Pearls are not a mineral like the rest of the gemstones. They are a composite of a mineral and an organic compound of protein. Nevertheless, they are considered a gemstone. This makes it possibly the most unique gemstone of them all. In terms of symbolism, the pearl represent perfection, incorruptibility, and a long life. It is one of the most feminine gemstones, and it has a absolutely gorgeous luster that gives you a feeling of the moon.
At Diamonds By Raymond Lee and Raymond Lee Jewelers, we have many more gemstones available in the form of rings. The above are just a few of the most popular.

As for precious gemstone rings, they typically start in the thousand dollar range and they can go up well over a hundred thousand dollars.
