Of course, historically, people assigned special symbolism to different gemstones and described their mystical powers. Whether you believe it or not, each stone has its own energy which will influence your custom engagement ring properties. Having acquired millions of years’ worth of information from Mother Earth, it’s only natural that gemstones possess special attributes that can be perceived mostly through intuition.
The Olertis team doesn’t claim that any of these qualities are true, and it’s up to you to decide if you trust the mystics working with stones. Let’s consider some of the most common gemstones that can be used for such pieces.
For example, aquamarine is a type of beryl that helps to create a feeling of comfort and to maintain a balance between heavenly and earthly energies. Custom aquamarine engagement rings will not only captivate you with their sea-green aesthetic but balance the energies of your fiancé or fiancée. Such a piece would especially suit those who have a water zodiac sign or simply want to get in touch with the water element.
Amethyst belongs to cryptocrystalline quartz family which has a high iron content. Thanks to iron, the stone acquires a beautiful purplish shade that varies in intensity. Most of the amethysts on the market have undergone artificial heat treatment, making the color of the stone more saturated.
The following Greek myth is associated with amethyst. The god of wine, Bacchus, was terribly angry when one of the mortals refused to acknowledge him and vowed to unleash his wrath on any person who refused to take part in his drunken orgies.
Amethyst was a beautiful girl heading to the temple to worship Diana. The angry Bacchus set two tigers to attack the girl, but Amethyst called out to Diana. The goddess, in order to save the girl, turned her into a statue of pure white quartz. When Bacchus saw the beautiful statue, he repented and began to bitterly mourn his cruelty. Tears flowed into the cup of wine that he held in his hands. Stumbling, the god spilled wine mixed with tears on the statue, and it turned purple. This was how amethyst was created.
Of course, a custom amethyst engagement ring doesn’t symbolize sobriety. But such a piece could open access to a person’s psychic abilities, enhance their healing, and protect the room from negative energies. Plus, the color purple is associated with romantic love, which perfectly suits the engagement ring’s purpose.
Another stone that is currently gaining popularity in engagement pieces is opal. This relatively soft rock serves as a link between different dimensions, places, and times. It has the property of returning energy to people who waste it too much on others. Thus, custom opal engagement rings are perfect for intuitive, sensitive, and empathetic people. These pieces enhance any spiritual qualities inherent in the wearer and, contrary to popular belief, go well with other stones.
Although custom sapphire and ruby engagement rings may have totally different color palette, they both contain highly noble stones with no fewer noble purposes. Rubies will help your chosen one to have just a little bit more courage to go and get what they are searching for. It’s a stone with powerful energy that cannot be handled by the meek-hearted. Sapphire, on the other hand, is less about forcefulness and more about being able to smartly “go with the flow” without compromising one’s inner truth. Come to think about it, a personalized sapphire engagement ring is a great choice for couples who want to easily uphold their values in a world that constantly challenges them.
Finally, a custom moss agate engagement ring is something nature-conscious couples would choose. Different shades of green and sometimes brown inclusions inside a transparent stone create a special kind of aesthetic: the one you would come up with if you were a magical dwarf, for example. So, such a personalized piece is perfect for nature lovers and those who want to reconnect with the elements.
Thus, the choice of a particular gemstone for your loved one’s engagement piece has to do not only with aesthetical properties but also with the symbolism behind it. From alexandrite to tanzanite, from fire opal to moss agate, and from ruby to sapphire – don’t be afraid to choose something well beyond the standard diamonds. After all, engagement is too special an occasion to be just like everyone else in the crowd!
