Whether you’re choosing an emerald for its green brilliance or a ruby for its deep red allure, Neptunes Jewelry offers a stunning selection of gemstones that reflect your personality.

How to Choose a Gemstone

With over 200 varieties available, gemstones are truly diverse. Here are a few important factors to consider when selecting your perfect stone:

  • Richly saturated colors are generally more valuable, but your personal preference is what matters most.
  • Cut: A gemstone's cut refers to its facets and shape, enhancing its sparkle and color.

  • Size: Gemstone sizes are measured in millimeters, offering a true sense of how they’ll look when set in jewelry.
