Colored gemstones have been trending for some time and Gabriel has been on top of the trend with a palette that ranges from pastels to vibrant hues. Their beautiful designs include classic gems such as rubies, sapphires and emeralds as well as newly rediscovered ones like amethyst, garnet, citrine and aquamarine and a refreshing use of Morganite. Gabriel also recently added a rainbow collection featuring a myriad of styles from stud earrings to layering pendants in circular shapes and floral motifs.
Speaking of layering — there are no rules to matching gemstone
colors. You can wear tonal layers or go for a more daring look by wearing
contrasting warm and cool colors such as ruby and aquamarine.
When it comes to the rainbow pieces, you can pick out one of
the gemstones in the pendant or earrings you are purchasing and the layer that
into your look. For example, with the rainbow studs, chose a solid stud and
wear it in the second hole in your ear. You can also choose a few different
shapes of solid-colored pendants and graduate them with a circular rainbow
style acting as the focal point.
Gabriel’s savvy and creative designers know that you don’t
always need big, bold, chunky pieces to make a statement — you can achieve the
look with more delicate pieces in more saturated tones. In addition to
graduating necklaces, try wearing a variety of earrings decorating the lobes or
different colored eternity bands stacked on one finger or worn on different
fingers on the same hand.
Here are some looks we think are perfect to start with or add
to other gemstone styles in your existing jewelry wardrobe. You can also start
with one or two pieces from this collection and layer in others as you get more
comfortable with mixing up these beautiful hues.

If you’ve ever owned a coloring book and Crayola crayons, styling with colored gemstone jewelry is similar in that you have freedom of choice and can use your creativity and even color outside the lines. You can be daring, quirky, whimsical, or you can stick with a more classic way of wearing color depending on your individuality and lifestyle.
