Colored Gemstone Rings and Jewelry in Grand Cayman

Sapphire

Sapphire is the most popular colored gemstone we set, and for good reason. At 9 on the Mohs hardness scale it is second only to diamond, so a sapphire ring holds up to everyday wear. Most people picture deep blue, but sapphires also come in pink, teal, yellow, green and the rare pink-orange padparadscha, which makes them a favorite for colored engagement rings.

Emerald

Emerald is the green of the tropics, prized for the depth and glow of its color. Emerald jewelry rewards a little care, since the stone is softer and more included than sapphire, so we favor protective settings and save emerald rings for gentler wear. Earrings and pendants show an emerald off beautifully.

Ruby

Ruby is the most intense red in nature and, like sapphire, it is corundum at hardness 9, so a ruby ring is tough enough to wear often. Fine ruby is rarer than diamond in large sizes, which is part of its lasting appeal for statement rings and anniversary pieces.

Tanzanite

Tanzanite is a velvety violet-blue found in only one place on earth, near Mount Kilimanjaro, which makes it far rarer than diamond. It is softer than sapphire, so tanzanite jewelry and tanzanite rings look their best in earrings, pendants and occasion rings rather than a ring worn every day.

Alexandrite

Alexandrite is the color-change marvel of the gem world, green in daylight and red under warm lamplight. Fine natural alexandrite is one of the rarest colored gemstones in existence, and we can source certified stones for a truly one-of-a-kind ring.

Aquamarine and Blue Topaz

For cool, clean blues, aquamarine and blue topaz are hard to beat. Aquamarine carries the pale sea-blue of the Caribbean and is durable enough for everyday rings, while a bright blue topaz gives a similar look at a friendly price, ideal for pendants and cocktail rings.

Opal, Morganite, Peridot, Citrine, Garnet and Amethyst

These are the stones our clients reach for when they want color with personality. Opal flashes a play of color all its own, morganite glows soft blush pink, peridot is fresh spring green, citrine warm gold, garnet deep red, and amethyst rich royal purple. Each makes an affordable, wearable ring or pendant.

Caymanite, Cayman’s Own Stone

Caymanite is Cayman’s own stone, a rare banded rock found only in these islands, layered in cream, gold, brown and rust like the cliffs it comes from. Because you can find it nowhere else, a piece of caymanite jewelry is one of the most meaningful things to carry home from Grand Cayman, and one of the few gems we can call truly local.

Ammolite and Coral

Ammolite and coral are organic gems with the color of the sea. Ammolite shimmers with iridescent reds, greens and golds, while warm Caribbean coral has been worn as jewelry for centuries. Both make distinctive, island-inspired pieces.

Custom Colored Gemstone Rings

If you have a stone or a color in mind, we design custom colored gemstone rings from scratch in our George Town atelier. We source the gemstone to your color, size and budget, then build the setting around it in 14-carat or 18-carat gold, from a single-stone cocktail ring to a gemstone-and-diamond design that is entirely your own.
