Gemstone Jewelry Gift Ideas in Unusual and Exciting Colors

Jewelry is not all the same color.  The transparent diamond can go with anything, but sapphires are normally blue or purple, rubies are red or pink, and emeralds are green.   Other stones have a color that we often associate with them, such as red for garnets.

Suppose the wardrobe choice calls for orange.  Does this mean the quality stones cannot be used?  The answer is no.  But, few people have a high quality orange stone piece or set of pieces, which is great for gift giving. And, orange is not the only color that one might choose.  Even if someone has a lesser quality stone in an unusual color.  Upgrading to a quality piece can make the gift giver a real hero. 

And, a person hinting at something unusual might start a conversation by asking if the person from whom a gift is expected has ever heard of some of the less known colors of quality stones, focusing on the one that is desired.

Of course you can always give a gift to yourself.

Sapphires and rubies are actually the same thing, except for color.  If it is red or some shades of pink it is a ruby, otherwise it is a sapphire.  But, sapphires come in a multitude of colors.  The normal sapphire is blue or purple, and a deeper blue tending towards purple is considered the best.  But, blue might clash with other items being worn.  Sapphires in green are not recommended, but both yellow and orange sapphires can really catch the eye.  Imagine a sapphire, a quality jewel, in a color that fits the rest of the apparel.   This is possible, and a whole range of jewelry in each of the colors is possible.  It is possible to find rings, earrings, necklaces and pendants, and bracelets.  Collecting an entire set might take several gift giving occasions.  But every collection starts with the first piece.

Some pink stones are actually referred to as sapphires, and their beauty is undeniable.  So, if it is pink that is needed, look for pink sapphires. 

For green gemstones emeralds are a good choice, but less expensive green stones are possible.  Garnets, the normally found in red gemstone, also can be found in green, and at a fraction of the price of an emerald.  Also, larger stones can be purchased if one is buying garnets than if one is buying emeralds.

A clear diamond is to be desired.  But diamonds with yellow and blue hues also occur in nature.  Then there is pink, a pink diamond is quite unusual.  Pink rubies are nowhere near as nice as pink diamonds.

Another unusual stone is the chocolate diamond, which really outdoes smoky quartz in appeal.  This is a very rare stone, and can really make quite an impression. 

So, if the occasion calls for diamonds, a splash of color can be added. 

For most people it is fairly safe to assume the intended recipient has a void in owning these unusual gemstones.  Even if one is known to be owned by the person, there are so many others to choose from.  And, this takes away the problem of guessing what the entire jewelry collection of the other person might be.  Just look for the unusual, and you should do just fine. 

For these unusual gems you might not find many in a chain store.  I would recommend going to a quality jeweler and discussion what you think will be your purchase.  These stones are harder to find than those in the traditional colors.
