When making a bold fashion statement, many people’s first thought would be to pick out a brightly coloured coat and matching shoes or stylishly pattern clash with their outfit. However, making a statement often means focusing in on the small details, such as jewellery, to bring the overall look together in a classy and carefully curated way.
So, today we’re exploring how to make a statement with our help. As a luxury jewellery retailer, we’re delving into how statement pieces, such as coloured gem rings, can bring together a bold look and elevate your personal style. Whether you’re an avid ring collector or looking to step out of your comfort zone, we’re here to help you pick out your new favourite statement pieces.
The Significance of Coloured Gemstones
Beyond their beauty, coloured gemstones carry profound symbolism and meaning, adding a deeper layer to their appeal. From ancient folklore and cultural beliefs to modern associations, coloured gemstones have significance beyond aesthetics.
Throughout history, coloured gemstones have been associated with specific meanings and symbolism. For example, ruby gemstones are often linked to love, passion, and vitality, while sapphire gemstones are connected to wisdom, loyalty, and truth. These symbolic connections add depth and significance to the jewellery’s presence, making them cherished and meaningful pieces.
There are no better jewellery pieces to make a statement with than coloured gemstones, as they are enriched with deep history and perfect for showcasing individuality and self-expression. There is a vast range of hues to choose from, each with its unique character, that you can distinctively express your personality and style. Whether you pick the fiery passion of ruby rings or the joyful energy of an emerald cut eternity ring, a coloured gemstone allows you to make a statement that reflects who you are.

How to Choose the Right Coloured Gem Ring for You
Before purchasing, you should take some time to consider which ring style and colour is right for you to ensure you take home a piece you’re truly in love with. Whether you’re looking to add a statement piece to your collection or searching for the perfect engagement ring, finding the right coloured gem ring that resonates with your style and personality is essential.
There are many factors to consider regarding this, starting with your personal preference. Think about which colours and gemstones resonate with you the most; for example, do you prefer bold and vibrant hues or subtle pastel shades?
You must also think about the setting and design of your chosen ring and determine whether you prefer a classic, vintage-inspired look or a contemporary style. The setting should complement the gemstone, allowing it to shine and showcase its unique beauty. So, pay attention to the metal choice as well, considering whether you prefer the warm glow of gold or the cool elegance of platinum. The design should align with your personal aesthetic and enhance the gemstone’s allure.
Coloured Gemstone Maintenance
Proper maintenance and care are crucial for coloured gemstones to retain their brilliance and durability. To keep them looking their best, we recommend cleaning them using mild soap and lukewarm water, gently scrubbing with a soft toothbrush or cloth. This helps them stay sparkling and look as good as new for years to come.
In addition, at Banks Lyon, we offer jewellery servicing, which we recommend for those who purchase any luxury jewellery items. So, if a gemstone comes loose or breaks, we will take every care to ensure that your beautiful jewellery or watch is fully restored without damaging its character. We understand the value of your possessions, which is why our jewellery experts ensure that each piece is taken care of with the highest attention to detail.
