Earrings with precious stones add style. Which ones to reach for?

What combinations of gemstones and earring designs are the most desirable and how to choose the ones that perfectly accentuate your uniqueness?

From ancient civilisations to catwalks, gemstone stud earrings remain a symbol of prestige, elegance and social status.

Diamond earrings

Diamond earrings rightfully occupy a privileged position in the hierarchy of luxury jewellery. Their timeless beauty lies in the unique ability of diamonds to refract light in a way that creates a hypnotic sparkle visible even at a considerable distance.

For everyday wear, diamond earrings in the form of subtle diamond-cut pips are ideal . Their versatility lies in the fact that they perfectly complement both a formal business outfit and an evening gown. For special occasions, we recommend reaching for more distinctive dangle earrings with cascading diamonds that create a fascinating play of light with every movement of the head.

Colored gemstones

While diamonds dazzle with their sheer perfection, coloured gemstones bring an endless range of possibilities and emotions to the world of earrings. Each stone has its own unique character, history and symbolism.

• Sapphires

Sapphire earrings are not just blue, as many people believe. These exceptional gemstones come in a wide range of colors - from classic blue to purple, pink to yellow variations. The most valuable sapphires are those from Kashmir and Burma, which stand out for their velvety appearance and intense colour.

• Emeralds

Emeralds, with their unmistakable green colour, are one of the most desirable gemstones for making exclusive earrings. The finest emeralds come from Colombia and are characterised by their rich, velvety green colour reminiscent of fresh spring grass.

• Rubies

Ruby earrings are the perfect choice for women who are not afraid to be the centre of attention. Their deep red colour symbolises passion, love and energy. The finest rubies, known as 'pigeon's blood', come from Burma and are characterised by their intense red colour with a subtle hint of blue.

How to choose the perfect gemstone earrings

When choosing gemstone earrings, there are several factors to consider to ensure that the jewellery is not only beautiful but also practical and suits you perfectly.

• Face shape plays a crucial role: an oval face allows you to wear virtually any style of earrings, while a round face will be better suited to elongated, dangling models that visually elongate the face. For an angular face, round or oval earrings are ideal, as they soften sharp features.
• Hair and skin color should harmonize with the chosen gemstone. Blondes and fair-skinned women are perfectly suited to aquamarine or sapphire earrings, while brunettes can shine with ruby or emerald gems. Women with red hair will dazzle with earrings decorated with citrines or fiery opals.
• Practicality and occasion are equally important aspects. For everyday wear, choose smaller, tightly set stones in secure settings. For special occasions, you can afford bolder, dangling models richly set with precious stones.
