The funny thing about buying Guy's Jewelry, is that
Women don't know what Gemstones or Colors a Guy would wear.
What's even funnier, is that Guys don't know what's appropriate either!
With everybody scratching their heads on all the available Gemstones on the face of the Earth, I thought I'd help you out.
Here are the top 18 Gemstones and their Colors that will look good on just about any Man and any Ring. I hereby give you:
Guy's Gemstones!
Do note that there are more than these 18, but this is a good start... :)
1) Sapphire
(See Picture: #1) Blue Sapphire is hands down the number one Gemstone for Guys, period! No doubt about this! It's the toughest Gemstone to buy other than a Diamond. It'll hold up well and last a lifetime. The Dark Blue Tones are very masculine and it is a great color to wear everyday. Caution: Don't Buy Sapphires that are so dark they look black. Those lifeless Sapphires are Cheap and Low Quality. Avoid them! Instead get a Sapphire with a nice intense Shade of Blue. A Blue that looks Blue is the Best and Preferred. For Durability and Looks, Sapphire wins by a mile.
2) Black Onyx
(See Picture: #2) Black Onyx is one of the most popular Gemstones for a Man. The Deep polished Black Gemstone looks awesome with Yellow Gold. It creates a stunning contrast that Men love. The sad thing about Onyx is that it's rather brittle. It chips easily and Guys are always knocking them out of the mountings. They can be replaced with new Onyx, but normally it has to be sent out for a new Onyx to be custom fitted into the Ring. It's not that expensive, but it takes time to do. But if you like the Bold look, then Black and Gold can't be beat! Just watch where you beat it!
3) Malachite
I love this Gemstone! Malachite is a Green Rock that looks like Polished Marble. Malachite is a very manly stone with Black Streaks, Dark Lines, Spots and Vivid Green Hues. Very stylish, Very Unique and always a Crowd Pleaser!
4) Lapis
Another great look with Polished Blue Hues and Great Soothing Tones. Deep Blues with Black Spots, Crisp Lines and Sharp Designs. Lapis is surely an eye-catcher!
5) Tiger's Eye
(See Picture: #5) One of the Best looks out there for any Man. I think all Men should have a Tiger's Eye Ring. It looks just like a Reptile Pupil with great Dark Brown Tones and Golden Stripes, Tiger's Eye is like an Iris that catches light. It's Clean, Rugged and Sexy! Great Stone, Great Look! Looks awesome in Yellow Gold.
6) Cats Eye
(See Picture: #6) Cat's Eye is just like the Tiger's Eye, but in wonderful Gray tones. Deep shades of Grayscale that roll back and forth across the dome. The way these type of stones play with the light and catch your eyes is amazing. It almost gives the impression that the Gemstone is looking at you. Very cool!
7) Star Sapphires
(See Picture: #7) These Star producing Gemstones come in great colors of Blue (As shown), Black, Gray, and Red. The star is formed by the stones rutile needles and how they react with the light. The stronger the Star, the better the stone! These Gemstones are always Cabochon Cut (Domed) and very high polished.
8) Garnet
The Birthstone for January is a great stone for any Man. Garnet has intense Orange-Red-Rust Colors that appeal to all with a Rich, Earthly Hue. Most people say that it looks like Fine Wine! Garnet also comes in a variety of Colors, but the Deep Reds are the favorite! Garnet is Durable, Inexpensive and Masculine!
9) Ruby
Ruby has always been a beautiful stone that's Durable, Rich, and has been honored by Kings and Royalty of all kinds! Not to mention the fact that Ruby makes up the Eyes of just about every Lion Head Ring out there! Being a Precious Gemstone and the Birthstone for July, Ruby is not Cheap! Especially finding Gemstones with a deep Dark Red body tone. Most Rubies that you find on the market are pale and pink. That's why most are now Created and not Genuine! If you can, I would advise to always buy the real stuff!
10) Emerald
Another of the Precious stones that has stunning Deep Green hues. Emerald is Earthly and Masculine, not to mention Expensive, Rare and the Birthstone for May! Emerald is also a softer Gemstone and Men have a habit of smashing it into bits. You have to be careful with Emeralds. It only takes a good strike to break it in half. If you're the rough and rugged type, pass on this stone! If you want to wear the Color Green, turn to Green Tourmaline (It's coming up on the list!)
11) Citrine
Citrines have Beautiful Yellow-Orange hues like Golden Sunsets. The Birthstone for November may be bright and colorful, but it still manages to keep a masculine appeal because of it's Deep Amber Earth tones. Being good Gemstones to wear, they never seem to disappoint. Citrines hold up well under wear and tear and look great in Yellow Gold.
The list continues with a few surprises as well! Read on...
