Green Jewellery – Green Gemstones

Emerald ring for a may birthday

The colour green is know to have a calming effect and is said to be associated with health, harmony, well-being, safety and fertility. Green jewellery is perfect for this time of year because it fits in just as well with both your summer and autumn wardrobes. There are lots of green gemstones to choose from, including: emerald, green tourmaline, peridot, tsavorite, green sapphire, jade and malachite. We have picked three of our favourites below: emerald jewellery, peridot jewellery and green tourmaline jewellery.

Emerald Jewellery

Emerald is the traditional birthstone for May and in some cultures is believed to symbolise good luck and true love. Emeralds are prized for their unique colour and even have a specific cut named after them, the ‘Emerald Cut’, which helps enhance the richness of coloured gemstones such as emerald. Emerald jewellery is a great option for those wishing to add colour to a really special design and they work really well with diamonds.

Peridot Jewellery

Peridot, the birthstone for August, is a very old gemstone and can be found in Egyptian jewellery from the early 2nd millennium B.C. The vibrant green is evocative of new buds in the springtime and so peridot jewellery is the perfect stone to liven up an outfit in the darker months when we are craving colour. Partner peridot with gold for a rich warm look or with silver for a fresher look.

Green Tourmaline Jewellery

Tourmaline comes in a wide range of vibrant colours, from yellow to honey, baby pink to red “rubalite”, sea blue to green.  For this reason, green tourmaline is available in a multitude of different shades of green, from translucent fern green to dark forest green. This diversity is what give the stone its unique character and also means that green tourmaline jewellery is a great choice if you are trying to match a specific item of clothing.

How to wear green jewellery

Green jewellery can be partnered with harmonising colours such as yellow or blue for a subtler look, or with contrasting colours such as pink or purple if you want to create more of an impact. Emeralds look stunning with diamonds, sapphires and rubies for a truly precious look. Green tourmaline naturally works well with the other shades of tourmaline including pink and yellow. The vibrancy of peridot means it works really well with lots of other stones but particularly with contrasting stones such as amethyst.

October Birthstone Tourmaline of Many Colours

October Birthstone tourmaline

The October Birthstone Tourmaline comes in many colours. It is ideally suited to almost anyone’s taste. If your birthday is in October you are lucky to have a wide range of beautiful coloured gemstones to choose from. Because of this unusual colour range it is our favorite gemstone as with many jewellery designers and gem collectors the world over.  Light and dark shades of blue, green, red, pink, yellow, white and orange. The colours come in shades that match each other perfectly so multi coloured stone jewellery looks beautiful. Several colors are sometimes displayed in the same gemstone. These bi-color or tri-color gems are formed in many combinations. One multi-color variety is known as watermelon tourmaline, and features green, pink, and white color bands; to resemble its namesake, the gemstone is cut into thin slices having a pink center, white ring, and green edge. Tourmaline is found in many locations including Brazil, Afghanistan, East Africa, and the USA.

Tanzanite, tourmaline, aquamarine, amethyst… take your pick! This years stone collections are now in.

Our Designer Rebecca Smith has recently returned from Jaipur in India with a sumptuous selection of unusual gemstones including cabochon gemstones as well as large faceted stones and even a specially cut lapis lazuli crescent moon. Choosing your perfect stone from our new collection is a great place to start if you are thinking of commissioning a piece of bespoke jewellery to mark a special occasion such as a birthday or wedding anniversary. Commissioning a bespoke design is an exciting process and choosing a stone is a big part of that, coloured gemstones have very distinctive qualities, particularly our large cabochons and so each of the stones are completely unique. Tourmaline for example comes in a whole spectrum of pinks, greens, blues, yellows and honey, or for something really unusual you could go for watermelon tourmaline where green and pink tourmaline are in the same stone.

Once you have found your perfect stone we create the perfect design for it. We now have a second gallery downstairs and so there are even more designs to choose from.

If you’d like to come and discuss a commissioning a new piece of jewellery you can book a free design appointment on 01273 846338.
