Coloured gemstones are as old as civilization itself — treasured for their beauty, rarity, and meaning. No two gemstones are alike. Each carries a unique combination of colour, clarity, and character that cannot be replicated. At OROSERGIO, we hand-select every gemstone for exceptional saturation and quality, then handcraft it into a piece designed entirely around you.
Why Gemstones
Coloured gemstones are experiencing a renaissance. More couples and collectors are choosing sapphires, emeralds, rubies, and other precious stones for their engagement rings and fine jewellery — drawn by the depth of colour, personal meaning, and individuality that gemstones offer over traditional diamonds.
Sapphires are the most popular gemstone for engagement rings, and for good reason. Available in virtually every colour — from classic royal blue to teal, pink, yellow, and the ultra-rare padparadscha — sapphires rank 9 on the Mohs hardness scale, making them exceptionally durable for daily wear. Rubies, also a 9 on the Mohs scale, carry centuries of symbolism as stones of passion and vitality.
Emeralds are prized for their rich, velvety green — a colour no other stone can match. While slightly softer at 7.5–8 on the Mohs scale, emeralds are beautifully suited to engagement rings when set in protective bezels or halos. Morganite, with its soft peachy-pink hue, has become one of the most sought-after gemstones for engagement rings in recent years — offering excellent value and a romantic aesthetic.
Alexandrite is one of the rarest gemstones in the world, prized for its remarkable colour-change effect — appearing green in daylight and red under incandescent light. Other popular choices at OROSERGIO include aquamarine, tanzanite, tourmaline, and spinel — each offering unique colour profiles and excellent craftsmanship potential.
