Gemstones India – Quick Tips to Choose, Care, and Style Indian Gems

Ever wondered why Indian gemstones feel so special? It’s not just the colour – it’s the story behind each stone. From the deep green emeralds of Panna to the fiery rubies of Himachal, India offers a variety that fits any budget and style. Below you’ll find straightforward advice on picking genuine gems, keeping them bright, and pairing them with your wardrobe.

Where Indian Gems Come From and What to Look For

India’s gemstone hotspots are easy to remember: Panna (emeralds), Rajasthan (blue sapphires), Karnataka (garnets), and Andhra Pradesh (tourmaline). When you shop, ask the seller for a provenance note – a short paper that says where the stone was mined. Genuine stones usually come with a BSI (Bureau of Indian Standards) or IGI (International Gemological Institute) certificate that lists cut, carat and clarity.

Here’s a quick cheat‑sheet for the most popular stones:

  • Emerald (Panna): Look for a vivid green and a few natural inclusions called "jardin" – they’re a sign of authenticity.
  • Sapphire (Rajasthan): Deep, even colour with a clean surface; avoid stones that look hazy or have too‑many bubbles.
  • Ruby (Himachal): Bright red with a faint orange undertone; a real ruby will feel slightly heavier.
  • Tourmaline (Andhra): Colour can range from pink to green; check that the hue is consistent throughout.

If a deal sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Trust sellers who provide a clear return policy and a lab report – RH Jewellers includes both with every gemstone purchase.

How to Keep Your Gems Sparkling and Safe

Gem care is simple if you follow a few rules. First, store each stone separately in a soft pouch to avoid scratches. Second, clean them regularly with a mild soap solution and a soft brush; avoid harsh chemicals that can damage treatments.

Many Indian gems are treated to enhance colour – for example, some emeralds undergo oiling. This isn’t a bad thing, but you should know about it before buying. Ask your jeweller for a treatment disclosure; RH Jewellers lists any treatment on the product page.

When you wear gemstones, consider the setting. A sturdy 14‑k gold or platinum bezel protects the stone better than a delicate prong, especially for daily wear. For special occasions, a pendant or hoop lets you showcase the gem without risking daily bumps.

Lastly, get your gems inspected once a year. A professional can check for loose settings, chips, or any changes in colour that might need attention.

Whether you’re a first‑time buyer or adding to a collection, Indian gemstones offer colour, history, and value. With the right knowledge, you’ll pick pieces that look great, last long, and feel authentic. Ready to start?
