Gemstone rings have been the bewilderment of mankind for thousands of years, not only because of their brilliant beauty but also because of their presumed capability to transmit and harness energies. These beautiful ornaments are used for more than just decoration; they act as a conduit for Earth's natural forces, each holding a particular vibration and power. From ancient civilizations down to the modern-day crystal enthusiast, who seeks to enhance their life, attract positive energies, and ward off negative influences, people have turned to these magnificent stones set in rings.
Understanding Precious Gemstones
The precious stones are a group of minerals that are highly valued because of their rarity, durability, and beauty. Traditionally, there are four precious gems: diamonds, sapphires, rubies, and emeralds. These four were considered precious since ancient times, with this tradition being perpetrated in the West during the 1800s. It is, however, to be stated here that the distinction drawn between "precious" and "semi-precious" is largely a matter of tradition rather than one of actual value or even rarity relative to the contemporary market.
Let's take a closer look at why these stones have earned their status and what energies they are said to possess.

Diamonds: Amplifiers of EnergyWith a perfect 10 on the Mohs scale and long respect for their unmatched brightness and durability, diamonds are the toughest natural substance known to man on Earth. Diamonds are great amplifiers of the energies in the field of crystal healing and energy work. They are claimed to:
The prestige of diamonds is derived from their hardness, which is unrivaled; from their brilliant fire; and their relative rarity in nature. The fact that diamonds, simply by their formation, occur deep within the Earth's surface under extremely high pressure and heat, over billions of years, merely serves to add mystery and value to them. |

Sapphires: The Stones of WisdomThough generally considered as a deep blue stone, sapphires come in a rainbow of colors except red, which classifies them as ruby. On the Mohs scale, they score a 9, hence they are rather robust for daily use. Sapphires are said in crystal healing to:
Sapphires owe their precious status to durability, rarity, and rich color saturation. Certainly, their association with various members of royalty and nobility throughout history helped establish their special status. |

Rubies: Stones of LifeRubies, being of the deepest red color, have often been associated with passion and life force. Like sapphires, they score 9 on the Mohs scale, making them excellent choices for rings worn daily. In crystal healing, rubies are thought to:
The status of rubies as precious stones emanates from their rarity, toughness, and intensity of color. More importantly, their deep red color is associated with the life source itself in so many cultures, thus imparting further value and power to those iliac-colored stones. |

The value of an emerald is based on its color and rarity, which have sentimental historical importance. As associated with growth and renovation, emeralds are often chosen as part of personal transformation. |

The Importance of Cuts in Gemstones
A cut in a gemstone is important, not only aesthetically but also in the way it interacts with light and, for some, channels energy. A well-executed cut can dramatize the natural properties of a gemstone and make it more brilliant; thus, for energy work, it could be more effective.
Popular Cuts of Gemstones
-
Brilliant Cut: The shape is designed to maximize brilliance in a stone - the large number of facets reflects much light. The most common brilliant cut diamond is the round brilliant with 57 to 58 facets. Usually, it is used for diamonds but can be used on other types of gemstones also.
Many people feel that the round brilliant cut is the most expensive because of its maximized fire and brilliance of the stone, and because it requires the most rough stone to be cut away in order for this shape to be achieved.
-
Step Cut: The long rectangular facets are arranged parallel to each other in steps. It is the number one cut for emeralds, hence the name "emerald cut." In all generality, the step cut is used for colored stones because it shows color rather than brilliance. Clean lines of step cuts make it a highly popular choice for vintage-inspired and art deco-style rings.
-
Mixed Cut: This is step-cut facets combined with brilliant. The most common usage would be colored gemstones, balancing the color with brilliance. The most popular princess cut for diamonds is a great example of a mixed cut: it offers the brilliance of a round cut and the contemporary shape of a square.
-
Cabochon Cut: A smooth, rounded cut and not a faceted cut, often used when star sapphires and cat's eye gems are to display these special optical effects. This oldest gem cut is enjoying a renaissance in popularity, particularly for colored stones where the emphasis is on color rather than sparkle.
-
Cushion Cut: This cut is a square or rectangle with rounded corners, which makes it look like a pillow, and that's why its name is a cushion cut. It has been associated with a more vintage look and brings out the color of the gemstone quite well.
The Energetic Properties of Different Cuts
A lot of crystal healers and energy workers believe that the cut within a gemstone can affect the way a gemstone interacts and transmits energy. Examples of this include:
-
The more pointed cuts that would be brilliant and princess cuts are believed to focus one's energy out, which is good for projecting intention or protection.
-
Rounded cuts, including oval and cabochon, are thought to deliver their energy flow softer and more diffused.
-
Cuts like emerald and baguette cuts are believed to have more focused energy concentrated in them.
Choosing Your Valuable Gemstone Ring
When it comes to selecting a precious gemstone ring, consider:
-
Energies Alignment: First, choose a gemstone that aligns with the energy or properties you want to manifest in your life. Take some time and observe what is taking place in your life at this particular moment.
-
Color: Choose a color that you relate to and that also fits your style. Keep in mind that colors can affect moods and energies.
-
Cut: Opt for a cut that enhances the gemstone's natural beauty and suits your taste. Consider both the aesthetic appeal and the believed energetic properties of different cuts.
-
Setting: The metal setting can affect both the ring's appearance and how it interacts with your energy field. It is believed that some metals enhance or complement the properties of select gemstones.
-
Size: Consider your budget and how much of the stone you would want to draw upon your hand. Note that a smaller cut of a higher-quality stone may be more beneficial than a larger cut of lower quality.
-
Quality: The gemstone's clarity and color should be good. Perfection is not required, because natural inclusions add character, while a greater flaw sometimes may withstand the beauty and believed energetic properties of the stone.
-
Certification: With valuable purchases and, more so, diamonds and other stones that are highly valued, look for certified gemstones to ensure that you get your dollars' worth.
Caring for Your Precious Stone Ring
To keep your gemstone ring in its original state of beauty and energetic properties:
-
Gently clean it with a soft-bristled brush and mild soap solution. Avoid harsh chemicals that can take their toll on the stone and setting.
-
Store it separately to avoid scratching. A soft cloth pouch or compartment in a jewelry box is advisable.
-
Take your ring off when you know that an activity may result in significant damage to it, which could be in heavy cleaning, sports, or even when working on machinery.
-
Some people like to "cleanse" the stone's energy now and then. This can be done by placing it in moonlight, burying it in the earth in a safe container even using cleansing herbs like sage. Always make sure these methods are safe for your particular gemstone. Have your ring professionally inspected and cleaned periodically, especially if it's worn daily.
-
Be heedful of your gemstone's needs. For instance, emeralds are slightly more fragile and they may need a little extra TLC, while diamonds or sapphires can handle a whole lot more.
