Ruby signifies passion and unbridled, unrestrained love, making a pair of ruby earrings a perfect Valentine's day gift. White topaz is a popular substitute for the birthstone of April, which is diamond. A pair of white topaz earrings is an affordable alternative to expensive diamond studs. Sunny and affordable, citrine earrings look perfect when set in glistening yellow gold mountings. Traditionally, citrine is given on anniversaries but is perfect for any occasion.
