For a bride with blue eyes a popular option is the sapphire. The vibrant blue tones of the stone can highlight piercing blue eyes perfectly. Lapis Lazuli and Kyanite provide other great alternatives and are best matched to eyes with a darker shade of blue and would be complimented nicely with a setting of a yellow gold engagement ring band. For those with blue eyes with hints and flecks of green an aquamarine side stone would work well, depending on the hue it could work nicely to compliment pale blue eyes too.
The varying hues of fire opals will be perfect match for all brown eyes, the spectrum of tones will ensure you find one that matches your brides. The yellow and orange tints in the opal will produce a sparkling engagement ring and can also be used as side-stones. To match hazel eyes dark ambers are an ideal fit and will reflect a variety of colours.
For a more unique, grey colour the smoky look of moonstones will best suit. Moonstone’s incandescant properites will look stunning and compliment a girl with grey irises. Opals are another option available and come in a wide range of grey tones coupled with white flecks that will provide a nice accent.
An altogether different and unique colour like an uncommon but beautiful golden eyes will be best suited to a topaz gold gemstone. For a bride with a subtle hint of orange hyacinth gems will be a perfect accompaniment.
Whatever your bride’s eye colour there is sure to be a gemstone out there that is the perfect match and will highlight any colour. Matching the centre piece of an engagement ring to the wearer’s eye colour can be a novel and personal way of producing a ring indicidual to your relationship. Any engagement ring designer knows that above all the thought that goes into the choice is just as important as its appearance.
