For rings intended for daily wear, such as engagement or anniversary rings, we recommend harder stones like sapphires and rubies, which rank 9 on the Mohs scale. At our Newton showroom, we can guide you through the durability of various gems—from vibrant emeralds to delicate aquamarines—to ensure your selection fits your lifestyle.
Can I customize a ring with a specific birthstone?
Absolutely. We specialize in personalized jewelry. Whether you are looking for an amethyst for February or a tanzanite for December, our Newton workshop can custom-craft a setting in your choice of gold or platinum to perfectly showcase your meaningful gemstone.
How should I care for my gemstone ring?
Different gemstones require different care; for instance, emeralds are more sensitive to heat and chemicals than sapphires. We recommend bringing your jewelry to our Newton Centre studio for professional cleaning and a prong inspection. In between visits, a gentle solution of mild soap and warm water is generally safe for most stones.
What is the benefit of a bezel setting for a gemstone ring?
A bezel setting surrounds the gemstone with a thin rim of metal, offering maximum protection against chips and snags. This is a popular choice at our Newton workshop for active clients who want to secure their colorful stones while maintaining a sleek, modern aesthetic.
