Red is perhaps the most stimulating of all colors. Red gemstone jewelry can range from fiery and romantic to candy-colored with a light-hearted and playful vibe. Red jewelry set in geometric inspired jewelry designs are equally appealing to both men and women as it conveys strength, honor and classic style. Bold red rings communicate a sense of daring and excitement to be noticed.

Pink is the quintessential color of feminine jewelry. It speaks to the sensitive and sensual side in all of us. Color psychologists have said that pink has the power to steal the energy of those who observe it, which is why it's such a great color to wear if you want to make someone's knees go weak. Pink is also associated with love, and instead of the racy passionate red, pink is more affectionate and gentle. If you want to show your softer side, look to pastel shades of pink such as pink pearl earrings, pink tourmaline gemstone necklaces, cuff bracelets accented with pink stones and statement rings designed with oval shaped pink gems.. If you want to be brave, try more intense pink hues such as rhodolite garnet in round or square cut jewelry settings.

Orange jewelry communicates a sense of warmth, energy and playfulness. Darker shades of orange can be spicy and exotic, while brighter shades of orange jewelry designs can communicate enthusiasm and organization. Pastel shades of orange rings can be seen as retro and feminine. These softer colors of orange gemstone jewelry are well-suited to classical designs. If you want to send a message that you are a warm person, who likes life on the spicy side, try vibrant orange colored jewelry set with carnelian or spessarite garnets.. If you wish to show your gentle side, pastel orange gems send the message that you are at ease and comfortable with yourself.

Yellow is the color that the eye sees first. Yellow jewelry is visually cheerful and warm. Yellow jewelry designs such as a citrine statement ring can draw the eye and make you noticed. A word to the wise, too much yellow can be overpowering. Use yellow in moderation and as an accent piece. Keep it simple and have fun while brightening the mood with a few choice yellow accessories.

Green is the color most associated with nature, abundance and freshness. Typically, green jewelry is considered a calming color -- with the exception of stones like lime quartz which is considered energetic due to the hints of yellow. If you feel your life is frenzied, select a green gemstone jewelry piece to be your touchstone throughout the day. Earthy shades of green jewelry appeal to those seeking balance. Vivid shades of green gems are especially a good match to appear refreshed and communicate your energetic side.



Blue is one of the most popular colors representing loyalty and communicating a sense of trust and balance. Blue jewelry is available in a wide variety of gemstones and setting ranging from aquamarine, blue chalcedony, lapis, blue sapphire, blue topaz, turquoise, and more. Wear deep blue and teal colored gemstone jewelry to bring a sense of peace to your lifestyle.

Purple is the traditional color of royalty. Purple can be vibrant and electric or smooth like jazz. Purple jewelry has the power to brighten our moods and invigorate us. A brilliant purple center stone can provide the visual focal pointed need to soften the edges of a rough day. Wear darker purples to portray energy and a regal nature. Or choose pastel purple gemstone jewelry such as the amethyst rose de france stone to send a message of relaxed confidence.

White jewelry and gems symbolize purity, peace and tranquilly. If you're looking for white jewelry designs with a bold , crisp, powerful focal point, try any of the white transparent stones such as white topaz and of course, diamonds. Softer opaque white gemstones such as pearl, moonstone and opal offer a gentle fresh approach to jewelry .

Black jewelry and gemstones are a natural choice for sleek white gold and silver jewelry settings. From delicate bracelets set with Tahitian pearls to faceted drop earrings, jewelry set with black gemstones communicates power and authority. Black gems can look dramatic and make the wearer feel bold and sexy. Chic with an urban sophistication, black onyx and black spinel can complement other gems in a design or stand on their own. Enchanting and sensual, black akoya cultured pearls and Tahitian cultured pearls are one of nature's most amazing creations in gemstones. Their unique origins make these special black pearls an excellent choice for a shopper seeking a distinctive jewelry gift.
