Sapphires, emeralds, rubies, morganite, alexandrite and more — hand-selected for exceptional colour and clarity, then handcrafted into custom jewellery at our downtown Toronto studio.
Book an AppointmentColoured 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.
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.

“I had a wonderful experience at Orosergio. I'm so happy with the beautiful jewelry that Sergio made for me. The earrings and the necklace are very elegant and have gorgeous emeralds. The quality and craftsmanship are superb. I'm so impressed by their professionalism and I will definitely recommend them to anyone looking for fine jewelry.”
“Sergio is very knowledgeable and an expert craftsman, able to create or modify any piece. He has a keen ability to source gemstones at competitive market rates and working with him is a pleasure. I look forward to my next purchase.”
“I ordered an engagement ring from overseas and it needed a slight resize, the jeweller recommended Sergio and I can't not be happier with the results. It was a bit more complicated than a standard resizing due to a small ruby in inside of the band but he did a fantastic job, it looks like brand new! I would highly recommend Orosegio jewelry for anyone looking for repairs, touchups or custom jewelry. Great work and great customer service!”
“We recently had a custom engagement ring made by Sergio and the result was stunning. Having looked around the city for jewelers and receiving multiple quotes, Orosergio was by far the best choice in our opinion. We had a larger sized emerald which required special attention and Sergio made sure to give it just that. We should also point out that the emerald was very expensive and Sergio was completely honest about handling our stone (we’ve heard stories where jewelers swap out expensive stones for less valuable ones). Sergio is a wholesale jeweler so his shop actually makes the jewelry - allowing him to cut out the middle man and give you a better price. He was very helpful during our first meeting, providing us with options and suggestions we hadn’t ever thought of. He took the time to explain his reasoning and why it would provide the best final product. His process, including providing us with a computer rendering before he made the final product so we could see the ring and approve the look, made the experience effortless. We are overjoyed with how the ring turned out and plan on getting wedding bands from Sergio later this year.”
“I came to Sergio with a very sentimental aquamarine stone that I wanted set into a ring. Not only did he design an incredibly gorgeous and unique ring for me, but he put me at ease through every step of the process. He always responded quickly to my emails, and from beginning to end, I felt as though I was in great hands.”
“I commissioned a custom gold ring from Sergio and he did a marvelous job. He made sure the design was exactly what I was looking for and really took his time to consider every tiny detail. A true professional and a lovely person. Highly recommended.”
“Sergio was very patient and kind. He helped me design a one-of-a-kind bracelet for my partner to signify an infinite loop. It took many design iterations to settle on something I liked, and Sergio was very patient and helpful throughout. The final piece was beautiful, and I absolutely loved it. Thank you to Sergio for allowing me to gift something so personal to my loved one.”
“Thank you Eric for the great words and your trust. Looking forward to design many pieces for you. Congrats ! Sergio”
“Sergio was amazing to work with. My fiancée first discovered them at a bridal show when she tried on a ring she instantly loved. When I went in later, they already had all her info saved, which made the process so easy. From start to finish, they were professional, attentive, and made sure every detail was perfect. The quality and sparkle of the ring and diamonds are incredible, we couldn’t be happier. Highly recommend!”
“I have worked with a lot of jewellers in the GTA, and I can confidently say Sergio is by far the best. Very professional service with a wide variety of quality products. Highly recommend!”
“It was a pleasure meeting you today Gloria and helping you. Thank you for the 5 stars! Sergio”

Gemstone pricing varies widely depending on the type of stone, carat weight, colour saturation, clarity, and origin. A fine sapphire or ruby will cost more than morganite or aquamarine, but in general, gemstones offer exceptional value compared to diamonds of similar visual impact.
At OROSERGIO, there are no retail markups. You are working directly with the goldsmith who sources your stone, designs your piece, and handcrafts it under one roof. Every quote is detailed and transparent.
Looking for a diamond instead? We also offer natural diamonds and lab-grown diamonds.
Visit our downtown Toronto studio or connect online. Discuss your vision, preferred gemstone type, colour preferences, and budget. Sergio will guide you through stone options and recommend the best fit for your piece and lifestyle.
Sergio hand-selects gemstones from trusted suppliers that match your specifications — colour, clarity, carat weight, and cut. You review and approve the stone in person or via high-resolution imagery before design begins.
Your piece is designed in 3D CAD and presented as a photorealistic rendering. Every detail — setting style, band width, metal type, accent stones — is refined until you are completely satisfied.
Sergio handcrafts your piece in our Toronto studio using ethically sourced materials. Final inspection, professional photography, and presentation in OROSERGIO packaging. Most pieces are ready in 2–3 weeks.
We work with a wide range of precious and semi-precious gemstones including sapphires (blue, pink, yellow, padparadscha, teal), emeralds, rubies, morganite, alexandrite, aquamarine, tanzanite, tourmaline, and spinel. During your consultation, Sergio will help you select the ideal stone based on your colour preference, budget, and intended use.
It depends on the stone. Sapphires and rubies rank 9 on the Mohs hardness scale — just below diamonds at 10 — making them excellent for daily wear. Emeralds (7.5–8) and morganite (7.5–8) are suitable for engagement rings with protective settings like bezel or halo. During your consultation, Sergio will recommend stones and settings that balance beauty with everyday durability.
Gemstone engagement rings at OROSERGIO typically range from $3,000 to $15,000 depending on the type of stone, carat weight, quality, and setting complexity. In general, gemstones offer exceptional value — you can achieve a larger, more colourful center stone at a lower price point than a comparable diamond. Sergio provides a detailed, transparent quote during your consultation.
We source gemstones through trusted, vetted dealers who adhere to ethical mining and trading practices. Every stone is hand-selected by Sergio for colour saturation, clarity, and cut quality. For high-value stones such as sapphires, rubies, and emeralds, independent certification from GIA or reputable gemological laboratories is available upon request.
Sapphires are the most popular gemstone for engagement rings — particularly blue sapphires, teal sapphires, and padparadscha sapphires. Emeralds and rubies are also highly sought after for their rich colour and cultural significance. Morganite has become a trending choice for its soft pink hue and excellent value. Alexandrite is prized for its rare colour-changing properties.
Absolutely. We regularly set client-supplied gemstones — whether family heirlooms, stones purchased abroad, or gems sourced independently. During your consultation, Sergio will assess the stone, discuss setting options that protect and showcase it, and provide a quote for the custom design and fabrication. All client stones are fully insured while in our care.
