Gemstone Guide

Discover the Power, Beauty & Meaning of Gemstones

Gemstones have fascinated humankind for centuries — not just for their beauty but also for their symbolism, rarity, and energy. Whether you’re drawn to the fiery red of rubies or the calming green of emeralds, gemstones make every jewelry piece unique and personal.

At Diamond Tiara Crown by Costozon, we use natural, ethically sourced gemstones in many of our handcrafted tiaras, crowns, headbands, and fine jewelry pieces. This Gemstone Guide is designed to help you understand the characteristics, meanings, and care of various gemstones so you can choose the perfect piece with confidence.


1. What Are Gemstones?

Gemstones are natural minerals, crystals, or organic materials that are cut and polished for use in jewelry. Their appeal lies in their color, rarity, durability, and symbolism.

We use both precious and semi-precious gemstones in our collections, carefully selected for quality, ethical sourcing, and visual harmony.


2. Precious vs. Semi-Precious Gemstones

Precious Gemstones

These are rare, highly valuable, and have stood the test of time in jewelry history:

  • Ruby – Red, vibrant, symbol of love and power

  • Emerald – Green, lush, represents growth and wisdom

  • Sapphire – Blue or multicolor, associated with truth and protection

  • Diamond – Timeless, symbolizes clarity and eternal love

Semi-Precious Gemstones

These are more widely available but equally beautiful:

  • Amethyst – Purple, calming, enhances creativity

  • Topaz – Comes in many colors, linked to abundance

  • Garnet – Deep red, symbolizes passion and energy

  • Citrine – Golden yellow, associated with joy and prosperity

  • Peridot – Lime green, cleanses negativity

At Diamond Tiara Crown by Costozon, our most commonly used gemstones include rubies, emeralds, pearls, sapphires, and rose-cut diamonds — often set in 925 sterling silver or plated with gold or rhodium for luxurious finish.
