Types of Gemstones for Engagement Rings

If you’re looking for more than a diamond for an engagement ring, there are many types of gemstones that will shine just as bright. From morganite to aquamarine, there’s a stone shape and color to match your unique self. Though the different types of gemstones for engagement rings are not limited to this list, we’ve plucked a few of our favorites to share with you in hopes you’ll find a little gemstone inspiration.

Here are six types of gemstones that will make beautiful alternatives to a diamond in your engagement ring.

Types of Gemstones for Engagement

Amethyst
Known for its deep purple hue, amethyst is often seen in a raw state. However, when it is cut well, this gemstone will glimmer and glisten in beautiful violet hues whenever the light shines down.

Sapphire
A classic alternative to diamonds for engagement rings, sapphire is a beautiful choice for those who want a ring that is a little more bold. Typically thought of in brilliant blue, the gemstone comes in other hues like peach, pink, yellow, white, and green.  

Ruby
If you really want to go bold with your engagement ring, ruby red is the way to go. Thought of as a symbol for nobility, purity, and passion, this stone will catch the eye of any passerby, and shines beautifully in certain cuts.

Morganite
With so many types of gemstones that are bold in color, you may be looking for something a little more demure. We recommend morganite: a romantic, feminine, and a popular alternative to diamonds. Its pale pink, peach, or yellowish tones echo elegance and refinement.

Aquamarine
Ranging in vibrancy, aquamarine is reminiscent of morganite in its pale appearance. It offers a refreshing and light look to any setting.
