Gemstone jewelry is back in a big way, and this year, some of the most famous celebrities such as Jennifer Lopez, Ana de Armas, and Charlize Theron were spotted wearing colored gems on the red carpet. Even male celebrities are jumping on this jewelry trend as Timothee Chalamet has been seen wearing a vintage Cartier ruby and diamond brooch, while BTS member V has been spotted wearing an emerald earring during a performance. Indeed, wearing a fabulous necklace studded with sapphires, or chandelier earrings dripping in amethysts can amp up your evening wear. But you don’t have to wait for a special occasion to wear your colored gems. To take your look to the next level, here are a few stylish ways to wear your gemstone jewelry.
Pair a gemstone cocktail ring with casual outfits
An oversized colored gemstone ring can be a fabulous style statement, especially if that ring happens to be an engagement ring. Think about the Duchess of Cambridge’s sapphire ring, which is one of the most famous pieces of jewelry of all time, or Blake Lively’ light pink diamond ring. But you don’t have to be engaged to sport a precious stone on your ring finger. You can always treat yourself to a cocktail ring or two, and pair it with your best casual wear to give your look a decadent twist. Wear your cocktail ring on your right hand and consider the placement for the best effect. If the ring has a small stone and delicate setting, wear it on your ring finger, but if the piece is chunky and has a large stone, wear it on your pointer finger. Pair the ring with a little black dress for date nights, or with jeans, a blazer, and high heels for brunch with the girls.
Design a curated ear around a statement earring
Wearing drop emerald earrings, such as those worn by Angelina Jolie at the Oscars, is one way to turn heads everywhere you go. But if you want to put a cool twist on your look, consider wearing a large stud earring with a light-colored stone, such as a tourmaline, alexandrite, a peridot, or a pink Padparadscha sapphire on just one ear. Then, create a unique look by wearing other types of earrings on the same ear, such as delicate diamond crawlers and two or three ear cuffs to give your look an edge.
Wear gemstones with fine jewelry
Gemstones are also called therapeutic or healing crystals. These can be powerful life drivers for many people. Their solid beliefs about healing crystals allow them to take action toward a healthier lifestyle.
Because gemstones are thought to provide positive life vibrations and balance, you can wear them with your fine jewelry pieces to get the best of both worlds. For instance, you can wear an amazonite gemstone bracelet with fine silver. By doing so, you’ll benefit from amazonite’s water and earth elements for good life flow and draw strength and elegance from the matching fine jewelry piece. You can pair gemstones with any piece of fine jewelry, such as a jade pendant on a gold necklace that highlights your outer beauty.
Another example is wearing a big pearl stud pair of earrings with a luxurious-looking gold necklace with a pearl pendant for your anniversary date, wedding, or any formal event or occasion. For a casual look, a combination of gemstones in one bracelet paired with a simple pair of gold or silver earrings makes excellent everyday casual wear.
Aside from aesthetic appeal, attain physical and emotional wellness wearing beautiful gemstones with other favorite jewelry and accessories.
Wear delicate jewelry to enhance your look
Your jewelry don’t always have to be the focal point of your look. If your style is usually on the simple or classic side, add a pop of color to your outfit by wearing delicate gemstone drop earrings, layered necklaces with tiny gemstones, or stacked rings with small gems on your fingers. This way, your jewels enhance your minimalist aesthetic without stealing the spotlight.
Wearing colored gems can transform your whole look. Try these tips to give your outfits an interesting twist, and enjoy making a style statement with your colorful jewelry.
