Modern Jewelry Styles for the Stone of the Virgo Man and Woman
• Two-Stone Jewelry
We’ll be the first to admit (and we’re positive you’ll agree) that Virgos aren’t the most romantic partners. That said, they are exceptionally dedicated to their significant others and would pretty much do anything that their baes wanted them to.
Are you nodding in agreement? If so, then the two-stone jewelry style AKA the Toi et Moi style is something you should consider getting. Essentially meaning ‘you and me,’ this design, when embellished with a gemstone for the Virgo woman is a wonderful way to showcase your personality as well as your devotion to your favorite person.
Styling Tip:
For a cute yet quirky date look, begin by wearing a white puffed-sleeved dress and your favorite pair of light blue heels. Next, add some contrast to the outfit by flaunting a pair of two-stone earrings and a ring featuring the birthstone of the Virgo woman.
• Three-Stone Jewelry
Love the romanticism of the two-stone style but not the design? Opt for a three-stone piece embellished with the blue sapphire. Signifying the past, present and future of a relationship, this sleek yet enchanting design will seamlessly elevate your outfit while also highlighting your romantic side.
Styling Tip:
For a romantic night out, wear a black bra top and blazer with a black pair of trousers. This will create a fitted look that’s simultaneously sophisticated and sexy. Next, stack a blue sapphire three-stone ring and solitaire ring. Here, the sparkle against the black background will immediately capture the eye and refocus it on you.
• Infinity Jewelry
In our opinion, your curiosity is one of the best things about you. Virgos love researching and are always excited about learning something new. Also, for you, this process of gaining more and more knowledge is endless. Bearing the same in mind, we think that the infinity jewelry style is the perfect candidate for your jewelry box. This is because the infinity 8 symbol itself represents everything eternal and everlasting.
Styling Tip:
For the ultimate party look, start by teaming a matte sequin dress with a pair of platform heels. To garner extra brownie points, throw your hair in a bun and flaunt a pair of drop infinity earrings that feature the Virgo zodiac gemstone. You could also up the awe factor by wearing a blue sapphire infinity ring here.
• Heart Jewelry
As a Virgo, we bet that you love the practical side of life. Logic rules how you approach your daily tasks and you don’t really understand the appeal of frivolous things. This typically extends into your style and as far as jewelry is concerned you tend to be drawn to pieces that can be worn for every occasion. Enter: The heart jewelry style. Simple, beautiful and when embellished with the gemstone for the Virgo sun sign, this style is sure to tick all the boxes on your ‘perfect accessory’ list. Do you really need another reason to add this stunner to your cart?
Styling Tip:
For a minimal yet tasteful look, tuck a black sweatshirt into a pair of white wide-leg trousers. Next, elevate your outfit by layering a blue sapphire heart pendant with two other chains that feature the same gemstone and metal.
• Tennis Bracelet
Of course, this is more of a bracelet style than a jewelry style. When it comes to the Virgo zodiac sign, a classic jewelry item is always the right choice. Do you agree? Because if so, we highly recommend treating yourself to a tennis bracelet. Typically adorned with diamonds, this mind-boggling beauty is one that’ll always ensure all eyes are on you. And while you can definitely flaunt this stunner as is, why not take it a step further and opt for a piece that features the gemstone for the Virgo zodiac sign? Trust us, you won’t regret it.

Contrary to popular belief, a tennis bracelet is one accessory that can be flaunted at several events. Noted below are a few different ways in which you can style the same:
1) For a Casual Business Outing

2) For a Girl’s Day Out
Start by wearing a faux leather midi skirt and a white short-sleeved T-shirt with a black pair of boots. Next, spruce up the look with a blue sapphire tennis bracelet. For a little more panache, tie up your hair and don a pair of blue sapphire earrings.

Virgo Gem: Does Wearing It Benefit This Sun Sign?
It definitely does!
Many believers state that blue sapphire is the best stone for Virgos because wearing it can benefit your life in many ways. Mentioned below are a few of the important ones:
• Calms You Down
By their very nature, Virgos like you are perfectionists. You’re remarkably detail-oriented and every task needs to be completed in a particular fashion. And while that’s all well and good, this attribute can often leave you feeling overwhelmed. This is especially true if you don’t feel in control of the situation.
‘How do I fix this problem?’, you ask. You wear the Virgo crystal stone, of course! Unlike other gems, this beauty has the unique ability to regulate your nervous system and bring you back to a peaceful state.
• Benefits Your Physical Health
Honestly, the blue sapphire’s physical health benefits are another reason why we think that it is the best crystal for Virgo. Because of a weak digestive system, you are known for having various stomach issues. Here, not only does the Virgo zodiac birthstone help you deal with these problems but it also protects your body from different inflammations. In addition to this, the stone also plays a major role in the prevention and healing process of cancer and burns. Can you think of a better reason to make it yours?
Important Note:
There is currently no scientific evidence that backs the abilities of the birthstone for the Virgo man and woman.
Now that you know all the reasons why you should get the Virgo star stone, let’s discuss the other Virgo stones and crystals available in the market today.
For starters, we often get asked ‘What is the best gemstone for the Virgo ascendant?’ If you’re a Virgo ascendant sign, we highly recommend opting for the emerald. That said, if you want more variety, you could also opt for one of the different Virgo crystals and stones like the diamond, for instance.
