Gemstones aren’t just beautiful to look at and the perfect final flourish to add to that occasion or everyday outfit. All gemstones carry specific meanings, connecting a certain stone of a certain colour to another aspect of our lives. Some gemstones have even been linked to attracting, consolidating and experiencing love.

With wedding season almost upon us – the UK wedding season runs from May to October – now couldn’t be a better time to don a stunning gemstone with a very romantic meaning. Whether you are looking to dazzle at your upcoming wedding, want to sparkle as a wedding guest, or plan to propose to your significant other in the months ahead, the following gemstones are made for the occasion!

Garnet

It’s not just the strong, red colour of this gem that gives off romantic connotations. As the gemstone for love, passion, trust, devotion and desire, garnet has all the ingredients for a happy relationship and marriage.

Red or almandine garnets are well known for their spiritual connection to love and relationships. As well as perfecting relationships with your spouse and all those around you, it is also linked to enhancing self-love to add joy and prosperity to your life in more ways than one.

Aquamarine

From one striking-looking gemstone to another, aquamarine is a beautiful and increasingly popular gem for engagement and wedding jewellery.

In addition to doubling as your ‘something blue’, the gemstone is synonymous with courage and communication, with wearers thought to find it easier to express their love and devotion for their partner to strengthen the relationship for the long term.

Lapis lazuli

Lapis lazuli may sport a darker blue hue than aquamarine stones, but it has an equally romantic meaning as CrystalsandJewelry.com reveals:

“Lapis Lazuli is one of the best stones to call upon when it comes to love and relationships. It brings energies of wisdom, love, and emotional healing to the person wearing it or keeping it close to their bodies. It carries a powerful, loving vibration and easily transfers it to you, your aura, and all who come into contact with you.”

For those interested in using jewellery for wellbeing, a lapis lazuli stone can heal from within to make you more confident, comfortable and honest with your deepest emotions. It also aids self-knowledge and expression to promote inner peace along with harmony in both romantic and platonic relationships.

Moss agate

As we explored in our guide to the history and origins of the agate stone, there are many agate gem varieties to enjoy, each of which has different characteristics and meanings. Moss agates are sourced from India, Scotland and the northwest of America. Whilst they are celebrated for connecting the wearer with the natural world, their links to love certainly shouldn’t be overlooked.

This healing stone is thought to balance emotions to bring peace to the wearer and all their relationships meaning you can nurture love wherever it grows.

Rose quartz

As the symbol of unconditional love, the rose quartz gem supports emotional healing, strengthens relationships and inspires compassion. With this energy, you can be better placed and prepared to attract love and support all those relationships that are important to you.
