With your mix of fun, reliability, fierceness and gentleness, you’re one of the few signs who consistently strive to take risks and follow your dreams. That’s why everyone loves you so much.

Traditional Jewellery Styles for the Birthstone of the Taurus Man and Woman
• Halo Jewellery
When it comes to the finer things in life, no one can indulge the way a Taurus can. And being a Taurus yourself, we’re sure you agree. Considering this, we highly recommend adding a halo piece to your collection. As indicated by its name, this style involves a large gemstone surrounded by several tiny diamonds. Not only is it remarkable to look at but flaunting it will allow you to show the world your penchant for everything lavish. Can you think of a better reason to make it your own?
Styling Tip: If you want to draw more attention to your face, throw your hair in a bun and wear a pair of halo earrings that highlights the Taurus gemstone colour. Here, the pop of green will refocus one’s eyes and make your face the only thing that a person looks at.
• Solitaire Jewellery
Just like the emerald is the best gemstone for the Taurus woman, we have to say the solitaire is the best style for you. ‘Why?’, you ask. Well, it’s because Taureans, like you, are known for being exceptionally persistent in life. When you have your sight set on something, there’s nothing and no one that can stand in your way. And that’s why we think that the solitaire style is the perfect option for you (provided it features the Taurus star stone, of course).
In most cases, this style symbolises one’s commitment to marriage. That said, we’re pretty sure no one would mind if you put your personal spin on it and use it to signify your commitment to achieving your goals.
Styling Tip: For an elegant evening look, pick your favourite little black dress and wear it with a gorgeous pair of black stilettos. Next, add some colour to your outfit by flaunting a sophisticated solitaire emerald necklace and ring. Trust us, no one will be able to keep their eyes off you.

Modern Jewellery Styles for the Birthstone of the Taurus Woman and Man
• Bolo Bracelet
Admittedly, this is less of a jewellery style and more of a bracelet style. In case you were unaware, a bolo bracelet features a unique adjustable clasp that’s fashioned after the famous bolo tie – a thin twisted chord that’s typically placed around the neck and held together by an elabourate ornament. Personally, we think that this item is a great option for the Taurus in you because it beautifully showcases your laid-back vibe.
Styling Tip: For a cool yet chic look, match a black crop top with a pair of loose white dad jeans and sneakers. Class up your outfit by donning a bolo bracelet. To emphasize your zodiac sign, we recommend picking a piece featuring the gemstone for the Taurus sun sign.
• Knot Jewellery
Be honest – Is your Instagram page packed with aesthetically pleasing images? Does the sight of intricate designs make your Taurean heart sing? If so, we highly recommend gifting yourself a knot jewellery style. Practical yet elegant, this jewellery style will truly be a treat to your eyes, heart and social media.
Styling Tip: For that picture-perfect look, start by wearing a Boho dress and ballet flats. Style the outfit with a gorgeous knot bracelet. Opt for one that features the gemstone for the Taurus zodiac sign here to show off your epic personality.
For a slightly more glammed-up look, grab a curling iron and add some beach waves to your hair.
• Three-Stone Jewellery
In our opinion, one of the most remarkable qualities of the Taurus, AKA you, is that they are naturally romantic and sensual when dating someone. They would go out of their way to make their partner feel loved and special. And if your bae is a Taurus too, you should definitely surprise them with a birthstone gift. Keeping this in mind, what better way to celebrate your love than with a jewellery style that actually means something? Enter: The three-stone jewellery style. Typically used to represent the past, present and future of a relationship, we bet your partner will appreciate receiving a three-stone emerald accessory as a gift.
Styling Tip: Going out on a date? Pick this style along with the best gemstone for the Taurus (i.e. the emerald). To create this look, start by wearing a simple white A-line dress and a pair of off-white kitten heels. Add a little pizzaz to your outfit by stacking three emerald bracelets together.
• Eternity Rings
Aren’t a huge fan of the three-stone style, opt for an eternity piece instead. Typically used to represent eternal love, you can definitely use this style to represent your everlasting fascination with the things and events that surround you. Interestingly, there are two variations of this design available in the market today. These are as follows:
- Full Eternity - Considered to be the original eternity design, this variation generally features gemstones that span the entire length of the accessory.
- Half Eternity - An updated version of this design, this variation has gemstones on only the top half of the accessory.
Important Note:
Keep in mind here that while these designs may appear slightly different, their symbolisms remain the same. Not only that, but half-eternity pieces are considered to be much comfortable to wear. As such, if wearability is a big factor for you, then the half-eternity design is definitely something that you should go for.
Styling Tip:
The beauty of this style is that it can be flaunted at a variety of events. Mentioned below are examples of the same:
- For a Coffee Date
Start by wearing your favourite pair of jeans, a pastel blue shirt or T-shirt and preferably white sneakers. Finish off your ensemble by wearing a half-eternity emerald ring.
- For the Office
To create a winning look, pair a half-eternity ring with a white silk blouse that’s tucked into a black pencil skirt.
Now that you know how to style this stone for the Taurus man and woman, let’s move on to the next segment of the article.
Taurus Zodiac Birthstone: Does Wearing It Benefit This Sun Sign?
Believe it or not, the Taurus’s lucky stone has been used to signify several things over the years. These representations include rebirth, good fortune, youth, peace, foresight, balance and growth. And while these symbolisms are a great reason to invest in this gem, most bulls buy them for their special abilities.
Mentioned below are a few of them:
• Takes Care of Your Physical Health
If your physical health is a concern for you, we highly recommend wearing the emerald crystal for Taurus. Among other things, this green gemstone is hailed for its ability to protect you from various eye diseases. It can also take care of your spine and prevent any diseases from coming its way.
• Offers Emotional Healing
Contrary to popular belief, wearing the Taurus gem is a fantastic way to reduce any stress-related problems. Here, the emerald works by calming you down during trying times and providing you with a little peace of mind. This will enable you to sort out your thoughts in a rational manner and help you make better decisions.
•Dispels Evil Energies
According to us, the main reason why the emerald is the best stone for the Taurus is that it protects the wearer from the negative energies that surround them. It does this by harnessing the powers of the planet Venus and putting an end to your bad luck. This stone is also known for dispelling any evil energy that may put you in harm’s way.
• Strengthens Your Spiritual Energy
Are you low on spiritual energy? If so, you can’t go wrong with a Taurus crystal stone. Apart from the abilities mentioned above, this gemstone can also help you see beyond the Earthy pleasures of life and strengthen the relationship that you have with God.
• Brings You Wealth
Lastly, the emerald is a must-buy gemstone if you’re someone who’s down on your luck as far as money is concerned. This is simply because, Venus, apart from bringing you luck, is also known for being the planet of luxury and fine things. As such, wearing this gem will allow you to attract financial abundance wherever you go.
Important Note: There is currently no scientific evidence that backs the abilities of the Taurus zodiac stone.
We do hope you’ve understood all the reasons why the emerald is one of the best crystals for the Taurus.
That’s not all, one of the most common questions we get asked is ‘What is the gemstone for the Taurus ascendant?’ If you are a Taurus ascendant sign, we highly recommend opting for either a blue sapphire, opal, emerald or diamond here. That said, do keep in mind that emerald green is the best Taurus stone colour out there. As such, choosing this stone instead of the rest is more likely to give you the best benefits.
In addition to the above, also note that diamonds are particularly useful gemstones for the Taurus moon sign. If you want more variety, we suggest considering other Taurus crystals and stones like the turquoise and rose quartz for women and garnet and agate for men.
