Popular Gemstone Types: A Buyer's Quick Reference

Each stone in the Blake Brothers catalog has a distinct commercial profile. Here's what makes each one a strong retail choice.

Turquoise 

Sky blue to blue-green with natural matrix veining. Mohs 5-6. Best in oval cabochon, wide band, and marquise settings. Consistently strong across Western, boho, and artisan-market channels.

Amethyst

Light lavender to deep violet-purple. Mohs 7, durable for everyday wear. February's birthstone aligns with Valentine's Day gift-giving, a reliable SKU during the January-February retail window.

Rainbow Moonstone

Translucent white with blue-to-rainbow iridescent flash. Mohs 6-6.5. Strong demand among younger, trend-driven shoppers and wellness-market buyers. Pairs well with oxidized silver.

Labradorite

Dark gray base with iridescent blue, gold, and green flash. Mohs 6-6.5. No two stones display the same color; a genuine selling point on the retail floor and in online listings.

Garnet

Deep red to burgundy. Mohs 6.5-7.5. A natural fit during the November-February retail window. Affordable relative to rubies, with comparable visual impact.

Blue Topaz

Sky blue to London blue. Mohs 8, one of the harder stones in fashion jewelry. Versatile across casual and semi-formal categories. A reliable choice for December birthstone shoppers.

All stones are ethically sourced and set exclusively in genuine .925 sterling silver.

Stocking sterling silver gemstone rings adds color and confidence to your sales floor. Here's what sets Blake Brothers apart:

Compare Sterling Silver and Gold Jewelry for Retail

Silver and gold each have a place in retail, but they serve different roles. Silver wins on accessibility. It lets you stock more SKUs, serve a broader customer base, and turn inventory faster.

Gold commands higher per-unit margins but narrows your audience. When you compare silver and platinum jewelry, the contrast sharpens further. Platinum is generally avoided in mass-market fashion gemstone rings due to significantly higher material costs.

Birthstone Rings: A Year-Round Revenue Driver

Birthstone rings in sterling silver are one of the most reliable evergreen SKUs a retailer can carry. Gift-giving occasions happen every month, and customers buy ahead.

*Diamond is the traditional April birthstone per the American Gem Society. Blake Brothers offers clear quartz as an accessible alternative at wholesale price points.

*June has three recognized birthstones: pearl, alexandrite, and moonstone. Blake Brothers stocks moonstone as its primary June offering.

Stock 6-8 birthstone options at all times. Gift shoppers frequently buy ahead for birthdays, anniversaries, and seasonal promotions.

Color also drives purchases: deep blues and purples project calm and sophistication. Warm reds and oranges drive impulse buys. Earthy greens appeal to nature-inspired buyers. A color-diverse display gives every shopper something to connect with.

Sterling Silver Ring Designs That Move Quickly

Colorful, natural stones set in silver are driving strong retail demand right now, making it a smart time to expand your gemstone ring inventory. Here's what's performing well across retail channels.

Women's Gemstone Rings

Delicate promise rings, colorful stackables, and bold statement pieces. Rainbow moonstone and amethyst styles are consistently top performers across boutiques and online resellers.

Men's Gemstone Rings

Strong silhouettes, wide bands, and stones like onyx or turquoise for a masculine edge. Our men's sterling silver rings feature clean, confident lines that appeal to a growing male jewelry market.

Unique & Specialty Designs

Oxidized vintage-inspired cuts and handcrafted cocktail rings that customers won't find everywhere else.

Types of Gemstone Rings: Matching Styles to Customers

Different types of gemstone rings serve different shoppers. Knowing which styles to stock focuses your buying decisions.

• Solitaire rings appeal to customers who want a clean, classic look.

• Cluster rings suit shoppers drawn to maximalist style.

• Wrap and bypass designs attract trend-conscious buyers.

• Ornate frame settings work well for gifts and special occasions.

Stocking a mix across these categories gives your display range. It also reduces the risk of slow-moving inventory if one style underperforms in a given season.

Ring Sizing for Retailers

Getting your size run right reduces lost sales. For women's styles, the highest demand falls in sizes 6, 7, and 8. Lead with 2-3 units each in these sizes, then add sizes 5 and 9 as secondary depth.

Blake Brothers carries sizes 5 through 14, though availability varies by style. Size-specific reorders are available; you're not locked into full-assortment packs. Use adjustable styles to cover edge cases and reduce reorder risk.

Caring for Gemstone and Silver Rings

Sharing care guidance with customers builds trust and reduces returns. Encourage these practices to keep rings looking their best:

• Wipe with a soft polishing cloth after each wear.

• Store in anti-tarnish pouches or lined boxes, separated to prevent scratches.

• Remove before swimming, applying lotions or perfumes, or cleaning with household products.
