The Bride’s Guide to Wedding Jewelry Gemstones
When it comes to wedding jewelry, gemstones offer a beautiful way to add personal meaning, color, and sparkle to your bridal look. Whether you’re drawn to the deep blues of sapphires, the soft hues of aquamarines, or the rich tones of garnets and emeralds, each gemstone carries its unique charm.
From engagement rings to earrings for wedding celebrations like welcome drinks or parties, gemstones bring elegance and individuality to every special moment.
In this guide, we’ll explore some of the most beloved wedding gemstones and how they can enhance your wedding day and beyond.
Sapphire: Regal Blue Elegance
Sapphires have long been treasured for their rich blue color and association with royalty and wisdom. They are a fantastic choice for brides looking for a pop of color while maintaining an elegant, classic aesthetic.
Verstolo’s sapphire engagement ring brings a unique twist to tradition. Featuring an oval diamond flanked by two sapphire trillions, this gemstone engagement ring is a captivating alternative to classic diamond rings. The center stone is fully customizable so that you can choose your favorite diamond shape.
Sapphires’ cool tones work seamlessly with white dresses or bridal looks that feature silver accents, adding sophistication to any bridal ensemble.

For other wedding events, like the welcome drinks or even the second look, our diamond and sapphire earrings offer the perfect touch of understated glamour.
The deep blue hue can complement a variety of wedding palettes, especially if you’re looking to match or contrast with your overall theme. This is also a fabulous choice for mother-of-the-bride wedding jewelry.

Aquamarine: Subtle, Cool Tones
Aquamarine is known for its soft, serene blue color that evokes the tranquility of the sea. Its lightness makes it an excellent choice for a fresh and modern look. Its color is perfect for spring or summer weddings, adding a hint of color without overwhelming your outfit.
We collaborated with Jung Lee New York to bring you Ocean, an exquisite pear-shaped aquamarine gemstone. You can add it to your rental of gorgeous diamond drops Kate, Grace, and Lucy.
These diamond earrings are a wonderful option for a second look—whether you’re transitioning from your ceremony to reception or simply looking to switch things up for your after-party.

Garnet: Bold and Passionate
Garnets are a striking choice for the bride seeking a passionate color. Their deep red tones symbolize love and energy, making them a wonderful way to infuse your wedding look with vibrancy.
Garnet earrings are perfect for evening wedding events, like a rehearsal dinner or a grand reception, or for bridal showers before the wedding. They pair beautifully with deeper tones like burgundy, navy, or even emerald green and can create a stunning contrast against a traditional white gown.
The combination of garnets and diamonds creates a bold yet refined look, ideal for statement-making brides. Our Jung Lee X Verstolo’s Day-to-Night Collection features a vibrant pair of pear-shaped Garnets to add to Kate, Grace, or Lucy diamond drop earrings.

Emerald: Rich, Green Glamour
With their lush, green tones, Emeralds symbolize renewal and growth, making them especially meaningful for wedding jewelry. Their rich, vibrant hue stands out beautifully when paired with diamonds, creating an effortlessly chic combination.
Emeralds are a perfect gemstone for wedding after-parties or a welcome dinner. The depth of the green adds a luxurious feel to evening events, especially when paired with darker or jewel-toned outfits.
Verstolo’s Emilia features gorgeous Colombian emeralds and round, brilliant diamonds, offering a glamorous yet timeless vibe for brides looking to add an unexpected twist to their wedding jewelry.
