When people think of an engagement ring, they usually picture the classic ring with a sparkling diamond. A diamond ring remains the most popular and classic symbol of eternal love, retaining its timeless beauty across generations. We are also big fans and have designed an enchanting collection of exquisite rings featuring environmentally friendly lab-grown diamonds , intended to accompany your journey together as a married couple in a special way.
In this blog post, we want to inspire you to consider choosing a ring with a fair trade gemstone when selecting the perfect engagement ring. Why? We'd like to share a few compelling reasons with you here!
Uniqueness & Individuality
Diamonds are traditionally the most common choice for engagement rings, which can sometimes make them seem a bit conventional. Gemstones come in a wide variety of colors, shapes, and sizes, allowing us to design an engagement ring for you that perfectly reflects the wearer's personality and style! We think that's the most beautiful way to be 'unconventional'.
Unique pieces from nature
Our natural, ethically sourced gemstones are unique. Each stone, with its own special characteristics, is only available once. We carefully select our curated collection of gemstones and strive to offer the most beautiful selection of different stone types, colors, cuts, and sizes. If you have a specific request or haven't yet found the perfect gemstone in our assortment, please feel free to contact us anytime via the contact form or directly by email at support@deardarling.berlin
Our gemstones come from responsible and fully traceable sources and are sourced through German partners. If you'd like to learn more, please visit our website.
Variety of colors and beauty
Colored gemstones offer a wide range of hues, from deep blue and vibrant red to radiant green and delicate pink. These colors can accentuate your partner's eye color or simply reflect your favorite colors together. The vibrant color of a gemstone can make the ring more visually appealing and unique.
Special symbolism & meaning
Many colored gemstones have special meanings and symbolize different aspects of a relationship. For example, the sapphire represents loyalty and honesty, the ruby passion and love, and the emerald harmony and growth. The gemstone can also be your or your partner's birthstone! By choosing a gemstone that has special meaning for you and your partner, the engagement ring becomes even more meaningful.
Larger stones to fit your budget
Compared to diamonds, many colored gemstones are more affordable. So, within your budget, you can get a larger gemstone that will make your engagement ring a stunning centerpiece.
Sustainable (fair) gifting
Purchasing an engagement ring with fair trade gemstones supports ethical and responsible mining and trading practices. Fair trade gemstones are mined under conditions that guarantee fair wages, safe working conditions, and environmental protection. By buying such a ring, you can be sure that no child or forced labor was involved and that the communities where the gemstones are mined are paid fairly.
We can trace our fair trade gemstones back to the mine. If we can obtain a certificate from the supplier, we will of course pass it on to you.

While diamonds are classic and traditional, colored gemstones offer many advantages that make them a special alternative. Colored gemstones, with their diverse colors and symbolism, can be personalized and meaningful. They offer good value for money, allow for more sustainable and ethical choices, and open up creative design possibilities. Regardless of which engagement ring you choose, it's important that it reflects your love and personalities.
