Gemstones of Love: Top 6 Gemstones Symbolizing Love

With Valentine’s Day coming quickly, you may be looking for a last-minute gift that doesn’t look like a last-minute gift. You may have the rest of your traditional gifts – chocolates, flowers, and whatever else your partner likes – but you may be looking for something a little more. Jewelry is one of the most popular gifts for Valentine’s Day. If you’re not convinced, Forbes has found that 18% of all Valentine’s Day gifts are jewelry. If you’re looking for the perfect piece to give your lover, consider getting jewelry with one of these 6 gemstones or crystals symbolizing all forms of love.

Rose Quartz

When most people think of love gemstones, they think of rose quartz. With its gentle pink coloring and soft, calming energy, it’s hard not to. Rose quartz is said to encourage sensitivity to emotions and feminine energy, and it opens up your mind to the possibility of receiving love and affection, making it a perfect gift for the holiday celebrating loving and being loved. 

Moonstone

The moon is a powerful symbol of emotion, femininity, and power, so it makes sense that moonstones make it onto the list of top romantic gemstones. Legend has it that moonstones are solidified beams of moonlight. Wearing jewelry with a moonstone is said to promote sexual and romantic passion while bringing good fortune to your relationships. 

Kunzite

A beautiful pale pink, Kunzite is believed to represent agape or divine love – love that never falters or fades or fails. It is also used to invoke and invite a sort of childish joy and sense of adventure into your life, making it a perfect gift to give to your loved one if they’re wanderlust and always excited to experience new things.

Pink Calcite 

Pink Calcite is another beautiful pink stone, its appearance alone invoking feelings of gentle romance. This stone is believed to activate the heart, helping the wearer express their emotions and increases their empathy, thus helping lovers form a deeper, more intimate connection. 

Lemon Quartz

While it may not appear the most romantic at first, Lemon Quartz can be a great romantic gift. It is believed that wearing a Lemon Quartz enhances the wearer’s communication abilities – leading to a great intimate discussion and the expression of true feelings – and spreads positive feelings. The yellow color can be a bit too bright to wear alone, but, when paired with other crystals such as clear quartz, it can make a wonderful bracelet. 

Pearls

Pearls are one of the most beloved stones in history, some dating back to 5,500 BC. In the past, pearls were given as gifts to Chinese royalty or worn by knights for protection in battle. Pearls were also the jewelry of choice for great rulers such as Julius Caesar and Cleopatra. There’s no better way to tell your partner that you value, admire, and care about them than with a beautiful piece of pearl jewelry on Valentine’s Day this year.
