In the windows of jewelry stores you can find a huge variety of jewelry with precious stones. Nature has created a variety of shades of gems, each of which depends on the presence of impurities and minerals in the composition.
Women often opt for jewelry with blue stones. A pendant, bracelet or ring with a blue-colored gem looks expensive and luxurious. But not every lady knows how to distinguish blue gemstones.
Blue stones in gold rings
A gold ring is a classic option for decorating women’s fingers. It will look most advantageous with a detail in the form of a blue stone.
Topaz
In nature, it can be found in yellow, red and even pink, but the most noble topaz is blue. Translated from ancient Indian as “warm”. Blue topaz attracts jewelers with its pure, heavenly hue.
Topaz is prized for its clear, shiny finish and high durability. It is easy to cut.
The gem requires careful handling and avoiding exposure to bright sunlight. Under their influence, topaz becomes dull and loses its color depth.
Gold sets off this nugget, making the jewelry fabulously beautiful.
Reference! A ring with topaz is relatively inexpensive - about 15 thousand rubles.
Sapphire
One of the strongest stones in nature. Translated from several languages of the world as “blue”. Available in a wide range of shades: from light blue to deep blue.
The Persians claimed that our planet was a huge beautiful sapphire, and the sky was its reflection under the influence of the sun's rays.
Aquamarine
A fabulous crystal of the deep sea. Like water, aquamarine can be transparent blue or greenish blue. In nature, a crystal is presented in the form of a stone with a rough shape, so before inserting it into a gold ring, jewelers skillfully cut it.
Aquamarine has the wonderful property of changing shade depending on the angle of incidence of the sun's rays. The deeper the shade of aquamarine, the more valuable and noble it is.
This nugget must be handled carefully and not subjected to high temperatures and mechanical stress, because it is very fragile.
Reference! The price for a gold ring with aquamarine is from 20,000 rubles.
Spinel
Blue spinel is a huge rarity in nature. This crystal is religious. It can often be found in church or ritual decorations.
Catherine the Great herself loved to wear gold rings and massive necklaces with blue spinel.
It has a magical azure color, is fragile and capricious when used with other gems.
Reference! The cost of such jewelry is high - several hundred thousand dollars.
In silver
The uniqueness of blue stones is that they look wonderful in both gold and silver rings.
Turquoise
There is an unusual semi-precious crystal in nature - turquoise. It delights ladies with its matte finish and the whimsicality of intertwined patterns and intricate patterns.
This stone was widely used in Ancient Egypt. It was he who, in combination with gold, decorated the sarcophagi of the majestic pharaohs.
This mineral is opaque and has a dense structure. That is why complex figures are so often cut out of it for crafts, souvenirs and jewelry. But turquoise is no less beautiful as a decoration for a silver ring.
The shade of this gem varies from azure to deep blue-green.
Zircon
One of the oldest crystals.
Zircon comes in a huge variety of colors in nature. In jewelry, the most valuable is transparent zircon, which exactly imitates diamond. Blue shades of zircon are replacing sapphires and topazes in silver rings.
Zircon has a lower cost than its “doubles”, which is why it is in demand for making budget jewelry. A silver ring with a blue zircon stone costs no more than 6,000 rubles.
With the discovery of artificial cubic zirconia, which has similar properties and an even lower price, the use of zircon is no longer necessary.
Chalcedony
This semi-precious mineral is named after the small town of Chalcedony in Turkey.
It has a delicate sky blue color and goes perfectly with the noble shine of silver. The most valuable variety of chalcedony is moonstone. This is a matte milky blue mineral that is perfect for young ladies.
Reference! A silver ring with a moonstone is quite inexpensive.
