Gemstone Engagement Rings: The Global Trend Taking Over Diamonds

For decades, diamonds were the default choice for engagement rings. But in the global jewelry market is shifting—gemstone engagement rings are taking center stage.

At Ishime Jewels, we’ve seen a powerful rise in couples choosing colored gemstones for their engagement and wedding pieces. Why? Because love isn’t one-size-fits-all — and neither is your ring.

Why Are Gemstone Engagement Rings Trending?

Today's couples are looking for:

• Personal expression

• Color and uniqueness

• Ethical sourcing

• Affordability with meaning

Gemstones offer all of this — and more. Whether it’s a vibrant sapphire, a soft morganite, or a royal emerald, each gem tells a story.

A symbol of loyalty and strength. Blue is classic, but pink, yellow, and teal sapphires are growing in popularity.
Famous example: Princess Diana’s iconic sapphire ring.
