Gemstones other than diamonds are fun. You have sapphires, emeralds, rubies, opals, and morganites to choose from. Sapphires are blue, emeralds are green, and rubies are red. Some like softer shades like peach or pink, others earthy browns. This gives you many more options beyond the diamond sparkle. An 18k wedding band can beautifully complement these colorful gemstones. When choosing a gemstone, often there’s meaning too. Sapphires are wisdom and loyalty, emeralds are love and renewal. Rubies are passion and morganites are compassion in action! Couples choose stones that match what they value in life or reflect shared experiences.
