The Complete Guide to Jewelry Options Featuring Rare Gemstones

Every gemstone makes a subtle statement with its magnificent beauty or remarkable durability. But some gemstones manage to make a distinct name for themselves because of their otherworldly appearance or never-before-seen features. 

These rare gemstones not only function as attention seekers but also astrological gemstones or birthstones for different months. If you also want to add a charm of rarity to your jewelry collection, this article is for you. Given below are rare gemstone jewelry options that are a must-have in every treasure trove to make it ‘royal’.

1. Alexandrite Rings

If you are looking for unique gemstone rings to confess love or officiate your wedding, look no further than alexandrite rings. Their dramatic shift of colors under different lighting conditions, from green to red and vice-versa, is a one-of-its-kind visual treat. 

As such, wearing this June birthstone is like styling an ‘emerald by day, ruby by night’. Also, with a hardness score of 8.5 out of 10 on the Mohs scale of hardness, alexandrites are fit to wear 24/7. So, are you ready to embrace the power of balance, harmony and transformation on your ring finger?

2. Cat’s Eye Pendant Necklace

The next one in our list of rare gemstones is a cat's eye. It resembles the eye of a cat because of the band of light it reflects. This breathtaking phenomenon, called chatoyancy, is caused by the long microscopic impurities present in the base mineral. 

A chrysoberyl and a corundum cat’s eye make durable options for all types of jewelry pieces. Look for a dark-hued stone with intense chatoyancy effect for your gemstone pendant necklace and attract compliments wherever you go.

3. Padparadscha Sapphire Earrings

For women who love a blend of colors in gemstones, gemstone earrings embellished with padparadscha sapphires work wonders. The soft, feminine orangish, peachy and pinkish hues of these rare gemstones melt hearts in a jiff. 

And, with a terrific score of 9, these September birthstones are much harder than you imagined. So, whether you are attending a boardroom meeting or making a grand red-carpet entry, padparadscha sapphire earrings will grab attention. Wear them in drops or danglers to make heads turn with the swift movement of your earrings.

4. Tanzanite Bracelets

Wondering which gem is over 1000 times rarer than natural diamonds? It’s none other than tanzanite, found only in one location throughout the world, that’s in Tanzania. The rich blue-violet tones and prized rarity of these rare gemstones makes them sought-after in both wedding and occasional gemstone jewelry. 

Being one of the December birthstones and 8.5 hardness scorer, tanzanites are favored in both high and low-contact jewels. Wear them as multi-stone bangles or tennis bracelets in your favorite metals and steal hearts with your style.

5. Opal Rings

Do you want to stand out in the most happening high-profile parties and social gatherings in your town? Wear opal gemstone rings, known for their majestic play-of-color effect. Each gem exhibits a unique mix of a rainbow of colors as if it’s an artistic craftsmanship.  

Though these October birthstones have a low hardness score (between 5.5 and 6.5), wear them occasionally for a showstopper appeal. Pair your opal ring with a matching pendant and earrings or let some diamond accessories create a cohesive look for you.

6. Paraiba Tourmaline Earrings

If you are a beach lover or an ocean diver, electric neon blue paraiba tourmalines will melt your heart. Their pastel blue hues with a hint of green makes these rare gemstones highly desirable in fashion jewelry. 

So what if these October birthstones rate only 7.5 on the Mohs hardness scale? You can still style them as gemstone earrings or even pendants decked with diamonds. Gift a pair to your wife on your wedding anniversary and win her heart all over again!

7. Teal Sapphire Pendant Necklace

Here’s another fancy sapphire that can make you the center of attraction in the crowd. Yes, it’s none other than a teal sapphire, one of the most coveted rare gemstones for its mesmerizing combination of blue and green shades. 

Think of a pear-cut teal sapphire gemstone pendant haloed by scintillating diamonds. Or, a vintage-style September birthstone pendant decorated with filigree and milgrain detailing. Both of these necklaces are not just conversation starters but can also be the carriers of your legacy.

8. Morganite Rings

If you think Padparadscha sapphires are out of your league, why not go for morganites instead? They have subtle peachy pink tones that can make any girl blush with love, romance and compassion. 

Whether it’s a proposal scene or a Valentine’s Day gift you are looking for, morganite  gemstone rings will never disappoint you. Match them with diamonds or other pastel-hued gems such as aquamarines, peridots, etc. for added glow.
