Gemstone jewellery makes a timeless and meaningful gift, but with so many options, how do you choose the perfect one? Whether you’re shopping for a birthday, anniversary, or just because, here are some thoughtful ways to select the perfect gemstone gift.
1. Consider Their Favourite Colour
Your loved one will likely appreciate a gift in their favourite colour. If you are unsure of their favourite colour, observe the tones they tend to gravitate toward in clothing and accessories. A gemstone of a similar tone should match well with what they like.
Here are some gemstone jewellery gift ideas based on favourite colours:
Pink: Rose Quartz or Pink Topaz
Purple: Amethyst
Blue: Blue Topaz
Green: Peridot
Yellow or Orange: Citrine
Red: Garnet
Black: Black Spinel
If they like Neutrals: White Topaz
2. Choose their Birthstone
Gifting a jewellery piece featuring their birthstone can add a thoughtful touch, especially for birthday gifts. Every month has its own unique birthstone, each with a special meaning. Check out our blog post on birthstones to explore the birthstones and their meanings.
3. Find a Gemstone with Personal Meaning
Gemstones have long been associated with different meanings and symbolisms.
Consider choosing a gemstone jewellery piece that reflects the message you would like to convey such as:
Love (Great for Valentine’s Day Gifts and Anniversary Gifts): Rose Quartz or Garnet
Friendship (Great for Friend’s Birthday Gifts): Garnet
Prosperity and Success (Great for business owners): Citrine
Calmness and Clarity (Great for stressful times and difficult decisions): Amethyst
Wisdom and Intelligence (Great for students): Topaz

Anniversaries also have gemstones associated with them, so for an anniversary gift, consider selecting the gemstone associated with the anniversary.
For example:
1st: Gold Jewellery
2nd: Garnet
3rd: Pearls
4th: Topaz
5th: Sapphire
6th: Amethyst
and so on.
4. Choose Based on Their Favourite Gemstone
If you know your loved one already has a favourite gemstone, a great thing to do is gift them a piece featuring their favourite! It is always nice to receive a thoughtful gift of one of your favourite things.
Bonus: Think About the Jewellery Type
Once you’ve picked the perfect gemstone, consider which type of jewellery suits the recipient best.
Pendants are great for everyday wear, and rings are a stunning addition to any outfit, with multiple rings being able to be worn at a time. Take note of what the recipient wears most often, as this will likely indicate what they personally prefer.
Tip: Jemagic rings feature an adjustable band, so are great if you are unsure of the recipient’s ring size.
