Giliarto Spotlights Alexandrite, Aquamarine, and Lavender Sapphire Engagement Rings for Couples Seeking Colorful Alternatives to Diamonds
PHILADELPHIA, PA – October 07, 2026 – Giliarto, a Philadelphia-based fine jewelry brand founded in 2017, is highlighting three of its most requested colored gemstone collections: alexandrite, aquamarine, and lavender sapphire engagement rings. Every Giliarto ring is made to order in recycled gold or platinum, and couples can customize the stone shape, setting, and metal online with Clio, Giliarto’s proprietary 3D ring designer.
More couples in the United States are choosing colored gemstones over traditional white diamonds. Giliarto’s three featured stones each answer a different request: a stone that changes color, a calm sea-blue natural stone, and a soft purple stone that is hard enough for everyday wear.
Alexandrite: The Color-Change Engagement Ring
Alexandrite shifts from green or blue-green in daylight to red or purple under warm indoor light. It is a June birthstone and rates 8.5 on the Mohs hardness scale, which makes it durable for daily wear. Giliarto’s alexandrite engagement rings use lab-grown alexandrite, which has the same chemical composition and color change as mined alexandrite at a fraction of the cost. Rings start at $850 in sterling silver, $2,100 in 14K gold, and $2,450 in platinum.
Aquamarine: Natural AAA+ Light Blue Gemstones
Aquamarine is a blue variety of beryl, the same mineral family as emerald. It is the March birthstone and rates 7.5 to 8 on the Mohs scale. Giliarto’s aquamarine engagement rings feature natural aquamarine in AAA+ grade, selected for clear, even blue color and high clarity. Shapes include oval, emerald cut, pear, and round, in minimalist, vintage, and halo designs.
Lavender Sapphire: A Purple Engagement Ring Built for Daily Wear
Lavender sapphire is a purple to lilac variety of corundum. At 9 on the Mohs scale, sapphire is the hardest gemstone after diamond, so it resists scratches better than most colored stones. Giliarto’s lavender sapphire engagement rings use lab-grown lavender sapphire, which is chemically and physically identical to mined sapphire, set in white, yellow, or rose gold.
How Giliarto Makes Each Ring
Each ring is crafted after the order is placed, not pulled from mass-produced stock. Giliarto uses recycled gold and offers 14K white, yellow, and rose gold, platinum, and sterling silver, with 18K gold available on request. All rings include free U.S. shipping, free resizing, and a lifetime warranty.
