Gemstones For All Times

When it comes to buying gemstone jewelery, most people will definitely choose their birthstone. However, with such a rich variety of gemstones on offer, why limit yourself to just one type? A few carefully chosen pieces, using a variety of gemstones, can carry you effortlessly through the year, whilst reflecting the different moods and colors of each particular season. Your summer wardrobe will naturally consist of lots more white colored clothing and lighter, floaty fabrics. During the summer you will be drawn to gemstones that conjure up happy images of holidays, sunshine and the sea. Subconsciously, you will find yourself drawn to the blue/green stones such as turquoise, topaz and aquamarine, as well as coral. Come autumn, the falling russet tones of the leaves and the sight of khaki wellies inspires you to pick out jade, orange sapphire and amber.

During winter the Christmas season, your home is decked with the most opulent colors so you may feel compelled to pile on the glitz and deck yourself with rubies, garnets and emeralds. Alternatively, classic jewelry pieces such as a beautiful freshwater pearl necklace or a simple pair of diamond stud earrings can be the perfect antidote to the festive mayhem, and these items are ideal Christmas gifts that can be enjoyed for years to come. Spring is when you are uplifted by nature's changes around you. You are drawn to the stones most reflected in the surrounding blossoming buds. Pink and yellow sapphires are just so appropriate for this time of year. With the abundance of color around, multi-gem stones are very fitting. Everyone will identify with different gemstones during the various seasons of the year. The best advice is to go for the one that you are most drawn to, regardless of what the birthstone is for a particular month.
