Jewellery in Chinese: Gemstones Next up in our guide to jewelry in Chinese we have the all-important gemstones! What jewelry would be complete without a few adorning gemstones? The word for gemstone in Chinese is 宝石 bǎoshí. We already saw that 宝 bǎo means precious or treasure, so if you combine that with the character 石 it literally makes “precious stone”. There are of course lots of different types of gemstones in Chinese, so we’ve picked out some of the most common: Diamond – 钻石 zuànshí Emerald – 绿宝石 lǜbǎoshí Ruby – 红宝石 hóngbǎoshí Sapphire – 蓝宝石 lánbǎoshí Pink sapphire – 粉红蓝宝石 fěnhóng lánbǎoshí Yellow sapphire – 黄色蓝宝石 huángsè lánbǎoshí Topaz – 黄玉 huángyù Amethyst – 紫晶 zǐjīng Garnet – 石榴石 shíliúshí Most gemstones have a color followed by the characters for gemstone (宝石) or stone (石) afterwards. However, you’ll notice that amethyst has the character 晶 which means quartz or crystal. Pear – 珍珠 zhēnzhū Amber – 琥珀 hǔpò Jade – 玉石 yùshí Turquoise – 绿松石 lǜ sōngshí Opal – 蛋白石 dànbáishí If you then wanted to know how to say a type of gemstone and a piece of jewelry combined, in most cases you just need to add the gemstone before the type of jewelry. For example: Diamond ring – 钻石戒指 zuànshí jièzhǐ Ruby necklace – 红宝石项链 hóngbǎoshí xiàngliàn Pearl earrings – 珍珠耳环 zhēnzhū ěrhuán #Our teachers # More than 10 years teaching experience Master Degree Certificate for teaching chinese as a foreign language  # About us # Founded in 2007 Chinese training center 200+ Chinese teachers 5000+ students # Contact us# Name:fiona Phone number:021-52287809,13918358891 E-mail:info@mandarinmorning.com www.mandarinmorning.com If you are interested to join Mandarin Morning school or want more details about our services, scan the following QR code. ☟  Chinese training center 10 years+ ，200 teachers ，more 10000 students，200+companies  |
