Gemstones for Men

Blue Sapphire Gemstones

Ruby Gemstones

Second to the sapphire is the mighty Ruby. This legendary gemstone has been worn by the most powerful rulers who fought the fields of battle or walked the corridors of power.

Black Tourmaline

Men can wear any color they like but the darker colors do seem to be more popular and you cannot get much darker than Black Tourmaline. A durable, yet affordable gemstone, which comes in a great variety of shapes, cuts and sizes.

Red-Orange Garnet

Another gemstone with a rich history of being worn by the high and mighty is Garnet. This stone is available in many colors but the rich reds of Pyrope Garnet and the burnt orange Hessonite Garnet really lend themselves to men’s jewelry.

Turquoise Gemstones

A lighter and brighter gemstone is Turquoise which conjures up images of deserts, mountains and outdoor living. Aztecs, Apaches and Ancient Egyptians all revered this intense blue gemstone and considered it a lucky stone.

Tiger's Eye Gemstones

A classic gemstone for men would be the Tiger’s Eye, rich russet browns with golden or orange streaks that exude an earthy outdoor manliness and rustic charm. Large primitive shapes and odd outlines make for unique jewelry pieces sure to stand out.

Tsavorite Garnet Gemstones

If deep green is your color, the temptation is to go for a classic emerald gemstone however might we suggest a Tsavorite as a better choice? Although the emerald is rated higher on the Mohs hardness scale, it often has inclusions which make it more likely to break than the Tsavorite. Both have stunning green coloring.

Malachite Gemstones

Another green gemstone but found at the other end of the price scale to the very valuable Tsavorite is Malachite. Deep rich greens with swirls, circles and stripes and a silky polish make this a very eye catching gemstone. Large sizes and interesting shapes make it a very versatile choice.

Amethyst Gemstones

In all those old movies where we see the king feasting in the giant hall surrounded by noblemen and princesses, the big round rings on his fingers are nearly always Amethyst cabochons. Once one of the five most expensive gemstones this intense purple jewel calls out luxury, power and ambition.

Citrine Gemstones

Let’s finish our list with a cheery bright light of the gemstone world, Citrine. This strong quartz comes in colors from a golden yellow through to a deep sunset orange. It may be bright but the amber undertones keep it masculine and its toughness will keep it safe.
