There’s a whole world of beauty beyond diamonds, sapphires, emeralds, and rubies. From the electric blues of Paraiba tourmaline to the mystical sheen of cat’s eye and moonstone, colored gemstones offer character, individuality, and charm. Whether you’re drawn to symbolism, birthstones, or simply a striking shade, these stones allow you to express yourself in a way that feels uniquely yours. At Golden Eiffel, we carefully select exceptional gemstones—rare, radiant, and full of soul—for those looking to wear something a little more unexpected.
Loved for its incredible color range, tourmaline can be found in nearly every hue—from soft pink to rich green to multicolor in one crystal. Its versatility and durability make it a favorite for statement and everyday jewelry alike.
A rare, electric blue-green variety of tourmaline with vivid glow thanks to copper content. Originally found in Brazil, Paraiba tourmaline is prized for its neon-like brilliance and is among the most coveted colored gemstones.
This remarkable gem changes color depending on the light—greenish in daylight and purplish-red in incandescent light. Alexandrite is incredibly rare and fascinating, often called “emerald by day, ruby by night.”
The purple variety of quartz, amethyst has long been associated with peace, protection, and clarity. From deep royal purples to soft lavenders, it offers a lot of look for a very accessible price.
Available in many colors, topaz is most famous for its bright blue shades, though it also occurs in golden yellows, pinks, and even colorless. It’s both affordable and durable, making it a flexible choice for bold looks.
Symbolic of protection and harmony, jade comes in two types: jadeite (the rarer, more valuable form) and nephrite. Jadeite can show off an intense, translucent green known as “Imperial Jade”—a treasured gem in many cultures.
Cat’s Eye chrysoberyl features a silky band of reflected light that moves across the surface—an effect called chatoyancy. Traditionally seen as a talisman for protection and focus, it’s a unique gemstone with striking personality.
Discovered only in Tanzania, this velvety blue-violet gem is a favorite alternative to sapphires. With its rich, shifting hues, tanzanite feels luxurious and modern, yet steeped in rarity.
Known for its one-of-a-kind play-of-color, opal reflects rainbows in a milky or dark body. Variants include white opal, black opal, and fire opal—each with its own magic. No two are ever the same.
A vibrant red or pinkish-red variety of tourmaline, rubellite rivals rubies in intensity but with its own inner glow. It’s bold, romantic, and a statement in any jewelry setting.
Wonders of Nature
From the honeyed glow of cat's eye to the fiery sparks of fire opals, each gemstone is a snapshot of Earth’s artistry. No two stones are ever exactly alike—what you wear is one of one.

Can I use these gemstones for engagement rings?
Yes! Many of our clients choose colored gemstones for engagement rings to reflect their personality, birthstone, or a meaningful story. We’ll guide you on which stones are durable enough for daily wear and how to protect them with the right setting.
Are all colored gemstones suitable for everyday use?
Not all of them. While some—like chrysoberyl or spinel—are quite hard and durable, others like opal are more delicate. We always advise based on how you plan to wear it and can recommend settings to improve longevity.
How do I care for these gemstones?
Most colored gemstones should be cleaned gently using lukewarm water, mild soap, and a soft brush. Avoid harsh chemicals, ultrasonic cleaners, or extreme temperature changes unless otherwise advised. When in doubt, bring them to us for professional cleaning.
Are these stones always in stock?
We carry a curated selection depending on availability and quality. Some—like amethyst or cat's eye chrysoberyl—are often in store, while rarer ones like alexandrite or Paraiba tourmaline may only be available occasionally or via custom order.
