Meaningful Crystal Jewelry Your Partner Will Love

With the rise of the fashion industry, jewelry is coming to transcend the limits of sex and color. People throughout the world associate it with their cultures, emotions, styles, and wealth. From a more individualistic perspective, jewelry, when given as a thoughtful gift, can signify intimacy.

You’ll find many ideas on the internet about what to gift your partner, and you’ll be hard-pressed to find lists that do not mention jewelry. However, jewelry without special considerations is merely another token. If you want to give a gift that holds value and thoughts right to their basic components, you’ve found the right article. Stay with us as we discuss various crystals, their meanings, and whether they’ll suit your partner or not.

1. Alexandrite

Alexandrite displays a plethora of hues between green, magenta, red, and purple, making its dazzle unique. Shifting colors based on how the light hits, this rare color-changing crystal will suit your partner if they carry with them a hint of mystery. The stone is associated with a variety of concepts, like the balance between the spiritual and physical world, good omens, and intellectual prowess.

Earrings made of alexandrite can catch the light as they dangle, and color-changing necklaces can stun whoever sees them. Rings, of course, are always an option, but be careful as those signify a more significant commitment. All the colors of this stone particularly go well with gold, but that’s entirely subjective per your and your partner’s preference.

2. Emerald

With their unmistakable luster and deep hues, emeralds have fascinated humankind for ages. Known to entice Cleopatra herself, the rich green sparkle of the stone has been associated with spring, hope, rebirth, and romance. Green denotes calm and shares a close association with nature. It can make for an excellent gift for people with deep minds or those who feel connected to the earth.

From dainty pendants to large statement rings, emeralds can be worn in a variety of ways, depending on your partner’s personality. If they prefer to let their jewelry speak loudly, go for a larger stone incorporated in a ring or, maybe, get a bold choker. On the other hand, tiny ear studs and thin bracelets are for you if your partner’s tastes lean more towards subtlety, timelessness, and sophistication. This crystal works brilliantly with gold and silver and even copperish and bronze-ish hues. You won’t have much trouble mixing and matching. Such a quality also makes it suitable and versatile to cater to the preferences of males and females alike.

3. Spinels

History has seen people confusing spinels with rubies, but these crystals have a more true red than rubies’ beautifully light-dependent tone. They have more clarity than rubies as well. Spinels signify rejuvenation and revitalization, longevity and devotion, and most importantly, passion. If true red is your partner’s color of choice, spinel is an excellent option for them.

From looking sleek with silver to hinting at magnificence with gold, spinels can be coupled with multiple materials. The color red isn’t for the subtle ones and always makes a statement. You can also use it to denote the inner fire of people who appear calm on the outside. Ask yourself what you imagine your partner’s energy to be like. If bold and fiery is the answer, you know your stone.

4. Opal

Opal, with its ever-shifting, dancing sparkle, is associated with a variety of qualities and attributes. When we see it, we associate its dancing fire with creativity and enjoyment. Opals can suit your partner if they carry laughter in their eyes or shifting colors in their souls; maybe if they’re artists or musicians. From being symbolized as the moon in celestial-themed jewelry or being worn plainly as ear studs, the stone can let you channel your own creativity. Observe your partner and see how they can best wear this stone.

5. Diamonds

Diamonds are resilient stones, both in their strength and their fame. These stones signify strength, love, power, and health. You’ll be hard-pressed to find a stone as timeless and elegant as diamonds. Incorporating diamonds is a great statement if you want your loved one to know how much you value them. From cufflinks for men to diamond stud earrings for women, the options are limitless with these gems. And given their lack of an opaque color, they are versatile and can complement a number of styles.

How to Incorporate the Stone

If you’ve decided on a stone, you now need to decide on the accessory you want it incorporated into. If you’re considering giving something prominent, keep in mind that that will restrict its usage: your partner can wear that fancy ruby choker to a formal party but not when they’re hanging out on a daily basis. Prominent accessories are costly as well, so your purchasing power plays a major part here as well.

On the other hand, subtle jewelry is more versatile, but the usage varies. Your partner won’t stay wearing that emerald ring when they’re gardening, but a dainty, slightly longer pendant they can tuck under their shirt won’t get in the way. It all depends on their lifestyle, habits, and preferences.

Give careful thought to the color of the accompanying material and the frame, its thickness, and the size of the stone itself. Many people have preferences in this regard as well: your partner may not like the color gold or may dislike the hue of silver against their skin tone. Ask them about their preferences discreetly, just to be sure.

Endnote

Along with being beautiful, meaningful gems, our suggestions have another thing in common: they can be synthesized in labs. Giving gifts to your loved ones should not harm the planet we cherish, and mining activities often do just that. From ecosystems to health, they have created numerous problems on land, and it’s high time we stop supporting such practices.

Though there are ways to source stones ethically, many manufacturers around the globe continue with practices like child labor in developing countries. We strongly believe that the industries seeking to end the practice are worth supporting. Play your part and show your affection in ways that do not harm the world.
