A Guide To Vardy's Colored Gemstone Jewelry Collection

Colorful gemstone jewelry is an excellent way to enhance and add an elegant touch to any outfit. These beautiful pieces provide a unique pop of color and are the perfect option to revitalize your entire wardrobe.

From magnificent emerald necklaces and eye-catching ruby earrings to brilliant sapphire bracelets,

colored stone jewelry is the perfect option from you.

The benefits of wearing gemstone jewelry

The beauty of gemstones is that they occur naturally in all colors, so the possibilities are limitless. With colored gemstone jewelry, you can feel free to express your style in your own personal way.

Consider the unique properties of each gemstone and choose your favorite! We’ve found that the best gemstone jewelry are the ones that spark a memory or have sentimental value, like birthstones of loved ones.

After all, the stunning gemstones come naturally in every color, which makes choosing a piece with your favorite one simple.

Gemstone jewelry gives immense confidence, and can say a lot about the person who wears it. To serve as inspiration, we've prepared a list of some of the most gorgeous and timeless gemstones we have available here at Vardy’s Jewelers.

Ruby

Rubies are the king of gemstones, and their enticing red tones make them especially popular all over the world. Their romantic meaning makes them a great option for surprising your loved one with jewelry such as ruby necklaces, earrings, fashion rings, or even a gemstone engagement ring.

If you would like some more information, we have an engagement ring guide with everything you need to know. Engagement rings are one of the most important purchases a person can make, so we’re here to ensure that you make the most informed decision.

Sapphire

One of the most notable characteristics of a sapphire is their color. Sapphires’ deep royal blue can easily be seen from a distance, but did you know that sapphires come naturally in a variety of different colors? Sapphires, like rubies, look stunning in any piece of jewelry, but due to their durability, they can be the perfect center or accent stones for engagement rings.

Even Princess Diana's engagement ring, one of the most famous in history, has a stunning blue sapphire. Check out our fantastic selection of beautiful pieces featuring this wonderful blue gemstone – unquestionably a favorite!

Emerald

Because of their breathtakingly brilliant green hue, Emeralds have long been recognized as one of the world's most sought-after and valuable gemstones. They're known by many as spring jewels, since they symbolize new beginnings and hope. Emeralds were also Cleopatra's favorite jewel, according to some legends. Here at Vardy’s Jewelers, you’ll find the most beautiful pieces to enhance your collection. Check it out!

With an amazing gemstone comes great responsibility as emeralds rate a 7.5 on the Mohs Hardness scale. This means that although they are one of the most beautiful stones in the world, they should not be worn everyday and need extra care.

This is only a fraction of our selection. In addition to these gems, we also have a great collection of many more gemstones for you, including every month’s birthstones such as: garnet, amethyst, aquamarine, alexandrite, peridot, tourmaline, citrine, blue topaz, blue zircon, tanzanite, and turquoise.

We even carry jewelry featuring rarer gemstones like moonstone, chalcedony, hematite, and much more! Vardy’s has a myriad of possibilities for the perfect additions to your wardrobe – check them out online or by visiting our store!

Vardy’s is the best! We purchased an engagement ring as well as our wedding bands and they could not have been more perfect. Quality is second to none and the team could not have been more helpful. 11/10, highly highly highly recommend.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

"Very personable staff. They were very informative in helping me choose the perfect engagement ring for my surprise proposal. They made the brilliant suggestion of going for a presentation band so my girlfriend gets to customize it to her liking. If you're looking for a jeweler for making your special moment.your search ends

I was in love. It was perfect! The colors blended seamlessly together and it didn't look cheap like costume jewelry (like similar rings on the internet). She did an AMAZING JOB. Her staff that was helping me finish my purchase were super sweet and friendly and so so knowledgeable. They don't rush you, they understand your budget & work hard to give you what you dream of! I will definitely be back soon for another piece :)”

Carol

“Vardy can and will make whatever you actually want. Virtually everyone else I approached could or would not.

Bottom line - I searched on and off for several years to find the right person to make the custom jewelry I wanted - Vardy was the right person. You get what you pay for. I did.”

Keenan

“Vardy's is the only jewelry store I would recommend to anyone! Great family owned business that carries very high end jewels, but will work with any budget. They take care of their customers and have a loyal following. Fayna has great style and I love all her Hearts On Fire recommendations!”
