Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. Is my birthstone a good option for an engagement ring?
Absolutely! Not only do birthstones add an element of uniqueness to the ring but they also add a meaningful touch that’s sure to capture your partner’s heart.
Q2. What kinds of gemstones are considered good options for an engagement ring?
Any gemstone sturdy enough to deal with the wear and tear of daily life (i.e. any stone with an eight or higher rating on the Mohs scale) is a good option for an engagement ring.
Q3. Can I wear my birthstone engagement ring every day?
If your birthstone has an eight or higher rating on the Mohs scale, it should be strong enough to withstand the dings that come with everyday use (ex. Sapphire, ruby). On the other hand, if your birthstone has a low durability score, we highly recommend flaunting it on special occasions only (ex. Garnet, amethyst).

Of late, birthstone engagement rings have become a popular choice because of their uniqueness and emotional connection.
