Emerald earrings

Pantone, the renowned authority on color, launched an interesting contest at the beginning of this week. The challenge is to capture emerald – the proclaimed color of 2013 – in any object around you, take a picture of it and share it with others. 

This is how I got the idea of looking for emerald jewelry. I simply adore this color and the challenge I've set for myself was to find amazing emerald earrings and show you my findings.

So here they are, I hope you like them:

Craving for chocolate… diamonds in jewelry

Some time ago I bought from France a necklace made of beads that looked very much like candies. I still have that necklace and every time I look at it I remember my friends telling me how delicious those beads seem to be.

My mind flew back to the necklace these days as I've come across some beautiful jewelry items, with a color that reminds you of chocolate. The diamonds are actually called chocolate diamonds.

I love brown jewelry ‘cause it can be worn with almost anything. It is elegant and delicate, don’t you think so?

Let there be GREEN

I said it before and I’m still staying it: I love GREEN in jewelry! It is elegant and sophisticated. It gives you a sense of distinction and there is no way to pass unnoticed if you wear green jewelry, especially to accessorize a black outfit.

I've decided to do an experiment a couple of days ago and search green jewelry on Pinterest. If you wonder what my picks were, here is my top:

De Grisogono mismatched earrings

Chopard Columbian emerald necklace - centrepiece of their Haute Joaillerie collection. 73 square and 830 round brilliant-cut white diamonds with 13 cascading pear-drop emeralds

Gemfields and Alexandra Mor 26.16ct elevated sugarloaf cabochon emerald ring

Gemfields’ bangle by Nam Cho - made with 23ct of Zambian emeralds in varying sizes of cabochon cuts for a dramatic and very tactile effect

I also liked this watch from Piaget because its green dial, of course. :)

Birthstones and recommended jewelry for you – part 2 (October – January)

Are you ready for the second round of birthstones? People born between October and January pay attention, this post is for you! 

October: Opal or Tourmaline

* Opals have been used for everything from easing childbirth to bringing strength in battle.

* Long known as the Wish Stone, opal is supposed to promote love and romance and grant wishes and personal happiness.

* Tourmaline is said to bring high energy, good luck, creativity and romance, depending on its color.

Estate Tourmaline and Diamond Ring

 November: Topaz or Citrine

* Topaz was often used to promote wisdom in its wearer, which may explain the medieval custom of giving topaz rings to heads of state, diplomats, and royalty.

* Topaz is reputed to increase understanding, strengthen breathing, prevent colds, enhance creativity, bring relaxation, control angry passions, restore energy, and aid in tissue regeneration.

December: Turquoise or Tanzanite

* Turquoise was very appreciated in ancient Egypt; Egyptian Pharaohs wore turquoise jewelry and Cleopatra probably used ground-up turquoise for eye paint and wore turquoise in her jewelry too.

* Children in several cultures were later given turquoise charms to protect them from harm, prevent nightmares, and to grant them restful sleep.

De Grisogono Turquoise bracelet - made of 111.46 carat black diamonds, 58.65 carat rubies and 240 carat turquoise gemstones

January: Garnet

*As garnet is the group name for a family of gemstones that come in so many colors, there are so many symbols of this gem depending on its hue;

* It was believed that garnets promote true love, warn of danger by changing color, and protect the wearer's home from fire and lightning.

* Garnets in yellow, brown and orange were believed to stimulate energy, increase sexual vitality, and promote compatibility in lovers.

* Green gemstones were said to bring prosperity, calm the nerves, and protect wearers from emotional stress.

* Pink garnets were believed to attract romance and cure broken hearts.

Black and White – Opposites yet constant companions

Black and white jewelry is all you need in some occasions. The stark contrast between black and white exudes confidence and class and it could easily grab people’s attention.

As someone said before, the beauty of this combination is that it’s powerful and yet there is also a strange simplicity to it.
