Silver Rings With Pink Gemstones.

With the normal belief that silver rings need to be cheap, interesting discussions related to 925 silver rings with pink gems are quite common. Buyer often want to know why gems like pink sapphires or even pink tourmaline gemstones, are not commonly found in silver rings. In this short write up we bring you some very interesting and useful information related to pink gems in silver rings.

To start off you will find that the common pink stones used in 925 silver rings are as follows. Pink CZ which is basically a factory produced pink stone is quite common. Next on the line is pink topaz, a gem with a dubious origin! This gem starts off as a white topaz and is surface coated with a pink color. The important thing is that, once the surface wears off you can see the plain white topaz instead.

Pink quartz and rose quartz are also found in all types of silver jewelry including sterling silver rings. The gem is not expensive and you can generally expect to get them with low clarity, they are transluscent to opaque. When pink quartz does show good clarity, the color is quite pale and many jewelry lowers are not impressed by it’s appearance.

So why are pink sapphires not commonly used in 925 sterling silver rings? The main reason relates to price, sapphire is not a cheap gem. The fact that most people expect their sterling silver ring to have a moderate price tag puts pink sapphire out of the price range. Durability or color stability are not an issue for pink sapphire.

Coming to the pink morganite gem, it does look awesome but the color of this pink stone is quite pale. White gold is a better metal choice for morganite. Remember that silver has a very slight yellowish tint to it’s color, this color can supress the visibility of pale morganite.
