08 Feb Spring Bling: Gemstone Inspiration, from Necklaces to Rings

Singing spring’s praises isn’t only a matter of vocalizing your love for the coming warmth and growth. Rather, you can truly engage with and advertise your joy to the world by adorning yourself with jewelry meant to celebrate the season!

By rejuvenating your whole ensemble with the right gems, you’re bound to feel as bright and new as the rising flower buds.

And if you’re not sure where to begin, allow us to introduce you to some of our favorite springtime gemstones:

All About the Earth with Aquamarine

First and foremost, we would like to introduce aquamarine as one of our top choices for a seasonal celebration.

After all, “it is the color of earth’s life-giving forces, and surely one of the cheeriest on the colored gemstone palette,” the International Colored Gemstone Association says. “As the birthstone for March, it is the ideal color to usher in spring.”

Versatile and evocative of water, this gemstone will remind you of your ability to go with the flow through the change of the seasons — particularly with the changes that spring itself brings! For this reason, we especially recommend wearing it as a ring or bracelet, where you can always have that visible  (and lovely) reminder.

Exceedingly Bold with Emerald

Lauded for its history of health and wealth, the vibrant emerald is regarded as a symbol of coming prosperity. So if you’re looking for a boost of regality and confidence this season, it’s only natural that you gravitate toward emeralds.

“Today, emerald is a symbol of loyalty, new beginnings, peace, and security, making it not only a beautiful gem to wear, but also a meaningful jewelry gift to be treasured by the receiver,” the American Gem Society reports. “It is still widely prized by the rich and famous, with Elizabeth Taylor’s famous emerald pendant selling for $6.5 million in 2011.”

Of course, there’s also the traditional springtime aspect of the color that we admire: the deep, lush green of the gem that mirrors the springtime growth and warmth.

Romantically Blooming of Rose Quartz

We couldn’t talk about spring gemstones without nodding to the inherent romance of the season. Thus, rose quartz is the perfect choice for those searching for blushing, blossoming love.

“Early cultures of the Americas used quartz amulets,” according to the Gemological Institute of America (GIA). “Known as the ‘love stone,’ it was said to balance the emotions and to heal anger and disappointment.”

Also symbolic for the flowers that radiate growth and beauty during the spring, rose quartz is, simply put, the perfect adornment for those hoping to embody a soft reminder of the season.
