The most popular gemstones for jewelry

 

The world of jewelry is filled with gorgeous gemstones in virtually every color of the rainbow. While you should follow your heart when picking the right gemstone jewelry for you instead of simply going for the most popular gem, we know that having countless options to choose from can make that decision harder. 

So, to make things easier for you, we’ve gathered the most popular gemstones by color and what makes them so special. Whether you’re after a pink, green, blue, red, or yellow gem, you can easily narrow down your options this way.
 
Red gemstones

Red gemstones


Rubies and garnets can range from deep scarlet hues to a pinkish light red. Their beautiful color range is often associated with love, which is why jewelry pieces which feature rubies and garnets make great anniversary presents and Valentine’s Day gifts. 

While both gems work well with any precious metal, rubies and garnets look particularly beautiful paired with yellow gold because this metal’s amber hues bring out their fiery glow. 
Pink gemstones

Pink and purple gemstones


Pink sapphire, amethyst, and tourmaline have beautiful blush undertones that go from light pink to deep purple, and make any piece look incredibly romantic and delicate. If you want to accentuate their stunning color, opt for a piece in rose gold - this combo looks super delicate and sweet.

If you want to pair pink and purple gemstone jewelry with other colorful gems, then opt for pieces that feature blue or red gemstones - such as sapphires and rubies - as these colors work beautifully together.



 
Blue gemstones

Blue gemstones


Turquoise, aquamarine, topaz, and blue sapphire can be as dark as the depths of the ocean or as light as the sky on a bright summer’s day. Their beautiful shades of blue are truly timeless, and these jewelry pieces can easily transition from day to night, making them perfect for every occasion. 

No matter which blue gemstone is your favorite, they look particularly beautiful paired with diamonds and set on platinum or white gold. From sapphire bracelets to aquamarine earrings, these gemstones add a touch of sophistication to any look.
Green gemstones

Green gemstones


Emerald, peridot, green tourmaline, and tsavorite are simply mesmerizing. These precious gems offer beautiful green hues which range from the deepest forest greens to the lightest yellowish shades.

Green gemstone jewelry is undeniably elegant. But the best part about these gemstones is that, although they’re colorful, they still manage to look fairly neutral. You can wear these beautiful jewelry pieces with any outfit, making green gems indispensable in any jewelry box.



 
Yellow gemstones

Yellow and orange gemstones


Citrine and yellow sapphire are so stunning that their beauty can only be described as hypnotic. With beautiful shades that range from dark orange to gold and faint yellow, these gemstones instantly add a warm glow to any outfit. 

Their stunning amber hues are definitely unique, so these jewelry pieces are all you need to stand out from the crowd. And if you want to further accentuate the warmth of these gorgeous gems, opt for pieces which pair them with yellow gold.
Natural Pearls

White gemstones


Pearls are among the most beloved gemstones in the world for a reason: you simply can never go wrong with pearl jewelry. Pearls are always in style, look incredibly stylish no matter how you choose to wear them, can be easily dressed up or down, and effortlessly transition from day to night. What’s not to love?

With all of that, it’s easy to see why pearls are as versatile as diamonds. After all, you can pair them up with any outfit. Whether you prefer pearl bracelets, earrings, necklaces, or rings, pearl jewelry is perfect for every occasion.
