Australia's Gemstone Scene: What's Hot Right Now
Gemstone jewellery has always been a firm favourite but it is currently seeing a massive surge in popularity, especially in Australia.
So, what types of stones are trending? Since Australia is the world’s leading producer of opals, these sparkly precious stones will always be in style. However, in this article, we will be looking at a few other rising stars:
Morganite
With pink seeing a huge rise in popularity in recent years, morganite is finally having its time in the spotlight. As a variety of beryl, morganite is made from the same mineral as emeralds and aquamarine. The stone is known for its lovely peachy hue, which can range from light pink to a deeper tone.
Another pinkish stone to keep your eye on is pink tourmaline, which comes in a variety of shades and is usually more durable than morganite.
Green Quartz
This rare, translucent gemstone is a member of the quartz family known for its breathtaking beauty. Also known as vermarine, this stone gets its green colour from iron inclusions.
Since green quartz is very rare, most of the stones used in jewellery are created by irradiating amethyst.
Aquamarine
Aquamarine is known for its brilliant blue colour that mimics the crystal-clear waters of tropical beaches.
Here at James Thredgold, we offer a diverse range of stunning aquamarine jewellery in Adelaide. From rings to pendants, this stone is exceptionally versatile and can be worn all year round.
