They can be unique trinkets that allow for a deeper emotional connection. These precious stones are perfect for commemorating special occasions and memorializing life’s beautiful moments. 

Our gemstone collection is a thoughtful place to add Caribbean jewelry to your collection while visiting St. Thomas or St. Maarten.

The Beauty of Rare Gemstones

Rare gemstones are cherished for their captivating colors and details. In St. Maarten and St. Thomas, we offer a wide selection that reflects both the wearer’s personality and the enchanting spirit of the Caribbean. 

Sapphires

Sapphires are known to be the gem of wisdom and tranquility. They’re coveted for their deep, velvety blue hues, which evoke calm and serenity. However, sapphires aren’t limited to just one color. Each sapphire color has flair, ranging from classic blue to rare shades of pink, yellow, and white. 

Blue sapphires are widely known and loved for their regal appearance. 

Pink sapphires – like the ones found in our 14kt white gold pink sapphire and diamond earrings – bring a touch of romance.

Looking for gold sapphire jewelry in St. Maarten or St. Thomas? Our 14KT white gold sapphire diamond pendant adds elegance to any occasion.

Sapphire rings, earrings, or pendants are popular gifts for September birthdays, adding a personal touch to celebrate this particular month. Many people also choose sapphires as “something blue” for wedding traditions, bringing good fortune and fidelity into their marriage.

Emeralds

Emeralds symbolize love, renewal, and prosperity with their lush green hue. Known as the gem of Venus, the goddess of love, emeralds are often chosen as symbols of devotion and harmony. 

Their color, which evokes the Caribbean’s natural landscape, makes them especially fitting for those who feel connected to nature’s beauty. An emerald’s vibrant, grassy green shade has a mesmerizing depth, offering a luxurious look that’s difficult to replicate.

Emeralds are also a fitting birthday gift for people born in May. And they’re commonly given as graduation gifts or retirement presents, symbolizing the beginning of a new phase.

At Grand Jewelers, you’ll find emerald rings, necklaces, and earrings that mirror the Caribbean’s rich landscapes. They’re a reminder of your time in the islands.

Rubies

With its vibrant red color, the ruby has long symbolized passion, love, and courage. Often considered the “king of gemstones,” the ruby’s deep red hue makes it an eye-catching statement piece that exudes confidence. 

Rubies are among the hardest gemstones, second only to diamonds, making them a durable and resilient choice. Rubies are also connected with prosperity and protection – a fantastic option for anyone looking to manifest positive energy and resilience in their life.

As the birthstone for July, rubies are often gifted to July-born individuals to represent their passionate, bold spirit. If you’re celebrating an anniversary in the Virgin Islands, rubies are known to represent 15th and 40th anniversaries.

Our ruby collection, including the 14KT white gold ruby and diamond necklace, will make a fiery impression and leave your loved one speechless.

Morganites

Morganite is a delicate pink to peach tone gemstone revered for its gentle, feminine appeal. It’s a gem for the world’s pink and rose gold lovers. Its soft color palette lends a romantic, vintage-inspired aesthetic, making it a popular choice among modern jewelry collectors. 

Unlike other rare gemstones, morganite is subtle and understated. It provides a fresh alternative to traditional stones while still radiating simple sophistication. Grand Jewelers offers morganite rings, earrings, and necklaces that reflect the gentle beauty of Caribbean sunsets.
