Six rings that prove gold and green were simply meant to be
There's a particular kind of pairing that never goes out of style – the warm glow of yellow gold against the cool depth of a green stone. It's a combination that's been loved for centuries, and for good reason: yellow gold brings out the richness of green gems, while the green lifts the gold and stops it from feeling heavy. Done well, the two colours simply make each other look better.
1. 18ct Gold Chrome Tourmaline & Diamond Ring
The standout of the group, in 18 carat gold with a chrome tourmaline at its centre. Chrome tourmaline is prized for that vivid, almost emerald-like green – the kind of colour that catches the light across a room – and it's framed here with diamonds for a touch of brilliance. A substantial, confident piece for someone who wants a ring that does the talking.
2. 9ct Gold Emerald & Diamond Ring
The classic of the collection. Emerald and yellow gold is a pairing with serious heritage, and the diamonds here add just enough sparkle without competing with the deep, velvety green of the centre stone. This is the ring for the traditionalist – the kind of piece that looks as right with a tailored coat as it does with an evening dress.
3. 9ct Gold Peridot & Opal Ring
A softer, more unusual character. Peridot's fresh, light green is paired with the milky play-of-colour of opal, creating a ring that feels delicate and a little bit playful. This one suits a finer hand and a quieter sense of style – it rewards a closer look, rather than announcing itself from across the room.
4. 9ct Gold Peridot, Pink Tourmaline & Diamond Ring
The most colourful of the six. Here the green of peridot is joined by warm pink tourmaline and a scatter of diamonds, set in 9ct gold. The green-and-pink contrast is cheerful and a touch romantic – a wonderful option for someone who likes their jewellery to feel personal and full of life, rather than reserved.
5. 9ct Gold Green Amethyst & Diamond Ring
Green amethyst – sometimes called prasiolite – has a soft, sage-toned green that's quietly elegant rather than bold. Paired with diamonds in 9ct gold, this is the ring for someone who appreciates understatement: refined, easy to wear every day, and full of detail up close.
6. 9ct Gold Green Amethyst & Pink Tourmaline Ring
A gentler companion to the ring above. The same soft green amethyst, this time alongside pink tourmaline rather than diamonds – a pairing that feels warm, organic, and a little bit vintage. This one suits a hand that likes jewellery to feel like a story rather than a statement.
If you've been looking for a reason – peridot is the birthstone for August, and August is just days away. For anyone with an August birthday (or a loved one with one), a peridot ring makes a particularly meaningful gift. But honestly, you don't need a birthday as an excuse. Treating yourself to something beautiful, that you'll wear for years, is reason enough. Pop in to see us in store to try the full collection – and to find the green that's your green.
