Gemstones are one of the most widely used decorative elements in jewelry, for obvious reasons. Their striking, pure colors and special brilliance can turn any piece of jewelry into a unique creation. They also combine wonderfully with metals like gold in its various forms, making their presence stand out in each design without losing the harmony and delicacy attributable to a top-tier piece of jewelry.
Do you know which are the most commonly used precious and semi-precious stones in jewelry? At Mumit, we have an extraordinary selection of gemstone jewelry, including necklaces, rings, and chokers that combine exceptionally with yellow, white, or rose gold.
Each of these precious gems possesses a distinct character, with intrinsic properties that extend beyond their purely aesthetic values, sometimes even crossing into the realm of mysticism.
Gemstones Used in Jewelry
Aquamarine
It is a variety of beryl distinguished by its characteristic light greenish-blue color. Its name comes from Latin and refers to the color of seawater. Among its properties, it is known for its ability to improve digestion and prevent fluid retention.
At Mumit, you can find the aquamarine gem in the Art Deco Diamond and Aquamarine Ring in 18K White Gold, featuring a halo of brilliant-cut diamonds. The aquamarine occupies the central position, and the ring creates an unmatched sparkle thanks to the splendor of its gemstones, making this halo engagement ring even more spectacular.
Amethyst
One of the most special gems for jewelry, as it is said to draw its energy from moonlight. It is known as the gemstone of harmony and spirituality and is considered a fantastic ally in the search for mental peace and stress reduction.
The Mumit True Amethyst and Emerald Ring in 18K Yellow Gold is one of those jewelry pieces that showcases the maximum splendor of this spectacular gemstone, as well as its ability to combine with other types of gems and metals. The protagonists of this jewel are the magnificent amethyst with a round cut that shines in the center and the pavé of brilliant-cut emeralds in decreasing size that accentuates the contrast of colors characterizing this jewel.
Emerald
Known as the mother of jewelry gems, this precious stone stands out for its characteristic intense green color and its spectacular natural brilliance. It is said to enhance the fertility of its wearer, as well as reasoning and concentration skills.
The Mumit Crown Emerald Earrings in 18K Yellow Gold are inspired by royal history. The undisputed protagonist of this piece of jewelry is a magnetic central emerald with a brilliant cut, guarded by four impressive diamonds, also brilliant cut. A jewel that is a true reflection of the perfect fusion of elegance and modernity.
Ruby
One of the most widely used minerals for jewelry worldwide. Its red color, historically associated with passion, and its marvelous natural brilliance make it an especially elegant and striking gem.
In ancient times, it was used by the inhabitants of Burma as a remedy against illnesses and bad luck, but today the ruby is one of the most valuable gemstones on the planet. It is particularly noted for its astonishing ability to reflect external light, often compared to a cat's pupils.
The Mumit Milett Ruby and Diamond Earrings in 18K Rose Gold are a unique opportunity to enjoy that special brilliance on your skin, with a special design that combines originality and elegance and creates an original display of light thanks to its pavé diamonds.
Sapphire
Although sapphires come in different colors, blue sapphire is the most sought after.
One of those valuable stones that needs no introduction. Its name comes from Latin and means "blue," referring to its characteristic color.
The largest international producer of sapphires is Sri Lanka, though they are also found in places like Australia, Kenya, China, and Cambodia.
Its color is so special that ancient Persians believed the sky acquired its beautiful color from this gem.
If you are looking for a jewel as unique as the sapphire, then you will love Mumit's Irina Sapphire and Diamond Ring in 18K White Gold, with a double diamond halo. Each of the diamonds in this spectacular ring was chosen precisely for its brilliance, color, and purity.
At Mumit, you can also find the precious sapphire gem in oval-cut engagement rings in 18K gold.
Pearls
Although they are not mineral gemstones, there is no doubt that they are a fundamental element in jewelry. They are considered organic gems, as they form inside certain marine mollusks. Currently, most pearls used in jewelry are cultured, due to their scarcity in the natural environment.
The Mumit Mabi Blet Classic Pearl Bracelet in 18K Yellow Gold is an unmistakable example of how well these types of gems combine with gold, as well as their unique elegance, personality, and beauty. This piece of jewelry with an air of innocence is composed of four precious round pearls that alternate with four 18K gold beads.
