What’s your favorite color? Is it
blue, green or red? Maybe purple or yellow? No matter what – you’ll
find a piece of gemstone jewelry in that color; it may be a stunning
bracelet, a necklace, a ring, or a pair of earrings, but the choice
exists. Gemstones appear in every color of the rainbow, and many have
important meanings – some memorable, like birthstones, others more
spiritual, such as “strength” or “peace.”
Rubies, Sapphires and Emeralds
Each of this trio of vividly colored
stones are the most popular, and are the first thing to come to mind
when one hears the words "gemstone jewelry". They appear in all
different types of jewelry, from bracelets to rings. Some even appear
alongside each other, resulting in a brightly colored masterpiece for
your wrist, neck or hand.
All three of these gemstones are also
birthstones: rubies for July, sapphires for September and emeralds
for May. However, you don’t have to limit yourself to the stone
that represents your birthday; if you like red, wear ruby earrings;
prefer blue, put on a sapphire bracelet; think green matches your
eyes, choose an emerald necklace.
Peridot, Citrine, Garnet and Topaz
All four of these stones: peridot,
citrine, garnet and topaz, have meanings beyond those of birthstones.
Peridot, which are usually yellowish-green in color, are said to have
healing properties, while yellow citrine can regenerate and cleanse.
Garnets and topaz (the former a deep red stone, the latter a golden
yellow or sometimes blue) have healing properties as well. Whether or
not this is true is up to you, but what does matter is that they make
great gemstone jewelry and are commonly found in rings and earrings.
Opals, Pearls and Quartz
Supposedly, it’s bad luck to wear
opal jewelry if it’s not your birthstone (which is October, for the
record.) However, if you like their iridescent beauty and don’t
believe in that type of luck, then look for opal rings or earrings to
add to your gemstone jewelry collection. Pearls are also slightly
iridescent, as are certain types of quartz. Both can be found in
necklaces and bracelets.
Tanzanite, Tourmaline, and Amethyst
Tanzanite is a fairly rare stone that
comes in a striking shade of bluish-purple. They are usually found in
gemstone rings. The same is true of tourmaline and amethyst –maroon
and lavender stones, respectively. All three are birthstones (in
order: December, October and February) and they each make a
statement, regardless of what type of jewelry they are set into.
No matter the types of gemstone jewelry
you prefer, wear them with pride. They make great accents to any
outfit, and can go from day to night with ease. With so many
different gemstones to choose from, you’ll have no trouble at all
finding the right ones for your budget or style. Please visit http://www.24diamonds.com/gemstone-jewelry/ for a rich gemstone jewelry selection!
