Gemstone Earrings
“I believe that earring designs should be fresh and inspirational. They should compliment a woman’s face whether she is wearing a necklace or not. That is the way I created my earrings, all of which are subtly influenced from nature, yet sophisticated and beautiful.” – Kai (earring designer)
Gemstone earrings have been worn for more than three thousand years. The first earrings are said to have originated in Western Asia circa 3000 BC, and ancient societies in that time often buried their dead with gem earrings. The everyday use of gemstone earrings, along with gold, silver and copper earrings, is well documented in part to the finding of ancient terra-cotta figures, paintings and coins. During the time of the Roman Empire, gem earrings came into greater fashion, with wealthy women flaunting such gemstones as emerald, aquamarine, sapphire and topaz.

Today one need not be wealthy to enjoy the beauty and good fashion of gemstone earrings. Many gem earrings today are actually multi gemstone earrings, with two or more stones in their design. And many of these multi gemstone earrings are made to go with matching gemstone necklaces. Indeed, a beautiful set of gemstone earrings and a matching necklace are almost unbeatable in their ability to enhance a woman’s look. With gold and silver necklaces being sold in such abundance, many women are looking for a refreshing change and finding it in earrings with gemstones.
Although the allure and prestige of a diamond earring cannot be argued, many shoppers today are looking for something more affordable and they see gemstone earrings as a great second option. Besides, there are so many gem earrings to choose from that anyone can find the perfect color for any matching outfit or skin color. The history of gemstones cannot be disputed either, with a past that goes back to ancient times. From Babylon to ancient Egypt and Victorian England to present day, people in all walks of life have always worn and appreciated genuine gemstone earrings.
Another reason why gem earrings are all the rage nowadays is because buyers have a lot more knowledge at their fingertips thanks in part to the Internet. Many people are becoming aware that each specific gemstone has a particular energy that can benefit its wearer in different ways. For example, wearing amethyst earrings is supposed to guard against disease and negativity. Shields and swords were made with amethyst in ancient times to protect warriors from injury in battle. Shoppers can check out the benefits of wearing different gem earrings on the Internet and choose those that correspond with what they need.
Indeed, bright and bold colors are coming back in style, and the way of gold and silver is declining. People are beginning to appreciate the beauty of a gemstone earring and shops across the country are reporting increased sales of all kind of gemstone jewelry, not just multi gem earrings. Go to New York city, San Francisco, Miami or Chicago, and you’ll see hundreds of small shops, stores and merchants selling beautiful handcrafted gemstone earrings and gem jewelry of all types. Gemstone earrings are affordable, look great and are in fashion. The only thing left to do now is choose among all the beautiful gemstone colors available!
