Top 3 Gemstone Pendants

www.mettlle.com
The usage of gemstones in jewelry has been a timeless tradition. From headbands to anklets, no jewelry has remained untouched from the magic of mesmeric gemstones. But there is one category of adornments that has endured the bliss of solitaires probably since the beginning of human existence. They are ‘pendant necklace’. These small pieces of jewelry have kept all women as well as men captivated by their allure. Let’s give a short look to their most enchanting categories:


·         Diamond Pendants: Diamonds top the list of preference in this respect, due to their sophisticated look and elegant shine, they have been an eternal symbol of class and panache among all. A pear shaped pink diamond etched in bezel setting and entwined in a platinum chain can be the dream pendant for any lady or a heart charm accentuated with shimmering princess cut diamond may be the piece of accessory she deserves on the upcoming wedding anniversary. Numerous cuts and colors of the alluring diamonds make it even more difficult to choose just one!!

·         Sapphire Pendants: The gemstone got its real recognition in the Victorian Era. Sapphire acquires the second position in the wish list of all jewelry enthusiasts. An oval cut blue sapphire embroidered on the outside with micropave diamonds can be an effortless help in flaunting your empyrean sense of style. Similarly, a lovely cushion cut sapphire seems enough to bestow you with a queenly aura on any special ceremony. It is widely believed that in the earlier times, sapphires were used as amulets to check the faithfulness and loyalty of the partner-to-be. And if the gem changed its color, the wearer’s transparency would come under question.


·         Ruby Pendants: Ruby, being the symbol of love and romance, holds the third position in the list of most desired pendants. Jewelry artists have endured every color of ruby, from subtle pink to stupendous pigeon’s blood. Four marquise cut ruby gemstones accentuated in a flowery fashion and entwined in 18 karat yellow gold chaplet, can be the classic choice for a sober home maker to a professional cosmopolitan. And a round cut ruby embellished with baguette cut diamonds can be the perfect accessory for that flowing pink evening gown. It is a well known fact that relationships have an upper edge for women as compared to men. So, if you want to get back the spark or passion in the bonds with your loved ones back, then ruby can be your best partner.

A Ruby Is What She Might Be Expecting From You

Are you planning to get a wedding ring for your better half? A ruby may be an answer to your long quest in this respect. Ruby, that is rightly called ‘the king of gemstones’ radiates passion and romance in the most brilliant fashion. You might have noticed the ‘I Wanna Love You Forever’ singer Jessica Simpson flaunting a smashing ruby ring on her finger. The stunning wedding band was presented to her by former footballer and her to-be husband Eric Maxwell Johnson. The warm expression of love from her beau instantly caught the attention of media. The ring had a large ruby at the center ornamented with two-pear shaped diamonds.

Some people call this gem as an emblem for unending love. And so it comes as no surprise that even the affluent facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg chose a ruby, when he wanted to propose his girlfriend Priscilla Chan (they had a relationship of nine years!!). The CEO of one of the most popular social networking sites chose the most correct gem to express his eminent feeling to his love. The ring was highly appreciated by her beloved ones when she was seen wearing it in Palo Alto, Calif on a lunch date.


Do you know that what is the factor that makes ruby immensely engaging? It is the color. The pure gleaming red color, which is also renowned as ‘pigeon’s blood’, naturally represents the true color of love and affection. Other lovely shades ranging from pink to red and maroon are the relative ones that can be used to express other shades of affinity (friendship, adoration, respect, etc.). The bright hue of this gemstone makes it so special that many times even the inclusions make no difference to the kind. May be this is the reason that it gets all the attention from the people wildly in love as it gracefully reflects the color of amour.

Women being sentimental creatures generally preferred to wear objects with an emotional message or relevance. The habit continues even today as several designers design their products keeping in view the tender and emotive nature of females.
