Gemstone engagement rings can be beautiful and colorful alternatives to traditional diamond rings. However, not all gems have the durability to endure years of wear in an engagement ring. Fragile gems like moonstone, opals, and Morganite are popular as engagement rings on social media, but we don't recommend them unless you are prepared to replace them frequently.
Diamonds are the hardest gem available, which is what made them popular in engagement and wedding rings. However, sapphires, rubies, Alexandrite, and chrysoberyl are very durable and are what we recommend for alternative engagement rings.
