Gemstones have always been coveted, for their rarity, value, history, and even thanks to their intriguing background, should they have one. While some adorn them in the form of jewelry, others are merely captivating in their natural form or when cut and polished to perfection.
In essence, gemstones are of two types - precious and semi-precious. At GemBleu, while we believe that every gem is exceptional, we do understand that this umbrella-grading is widely accepted as a clear distinction. Allow us to elaborate: -
Precious Stones
Gems are considered ‘precious’ because of their rarity and the deep beauty of their colors. But only 4 gemstones are actually given the credence of being considered Precious - Diamonds, Sapphires, Rubies, and Emeralds. Their hardness and resistance to abrasions is yet another reason why they have the title bestowed.
Here are some examples, from our collection, to help cement the concept about these precious stones.
Sophistication is our Sapphire Ring

Enigmatic in design, is our Emerald Ring

Semi-Precious Stones
Gemstones that are not classified as ‘precious’ stones, are considered semi-precious. These offer an infinite palette of colors and shades that allow for intricate designs that are vibrant and dazzling. That being said, there are many semi-precious stones that are, in fact, rarer than precious stones, like Tanzanite, which is considered to be 1000 times rarer than diamonds.
Take a look at some of our exquisite jewelry that, although contain ‘semi-precious’ gemstones, are in no way less appealing than the ones in any other category.
Our opal pendant, in a magnificent trillion cut, beset with diamonds and set in a glorious 14K white gold, has a unique design that’s both luxurious and chic, all at once.
Mesmerizing Morganite Earrings
Morganite’s lavish color is a great match for rose gold. So when designed to complement each other in these elegant cushion-cut Morganite danglers, you get a spectacular set that will always make a lasting impression.
Lastly, each gemstone may be categorized differently due to their characteristics, but the only way a gemstone earns its love and importance is how you associate and care for it.
