August 19, 2008

The second you walk into a jewelry store, the lights begin to reflect on all those gorgeous stones sitting in those sparklingly clean glass cases. And most are instantly drawn to the diamonds, which is no surprise, but as you turn your glance to other areas of the cases you begin to see bright, brilliant colors. All the sapphires are in one group, next to that is the ruby, and then the emerald, all gorgeous. But do you wonder what all those colors mean. Most of us know the meaning behind red roses, love, and yellow roses, friendship, but do those color guides hold true for gemstones as well? Here is a little guide to the stone colors and their meanings.

Red – Just like the rose, it stands for love. But it also elicits a sense of excitement and adventure. So if you want to be noticed, treat your fingers to a little red gemstone.

Pink – This is pure femininity. It has the ability to steal someone’s attention and energy so if you want to make someone’s knees go weak, slip on a pink stone.

Purple – Vibrant and strong. This color brightens your mood and has the power to invigorate.

Black – This shows power and authority. It goes with anything and never goes out of style. If you’re looking to show confidence and strength, the black stones are for you.

White – Tranquility and peace are the feelings a white stone can bring. If you’re looking to be bold, yet subtle this is the stone for you.

Blue – Always one of the most popular colors, blue stands for loyalty. It’s a strong color that makes people feel that you are trustworthy and loyal.

Orange – The lighter shades have a sense of playfulness and enthusiasm, while the darker stones have a spicy and exotic side.

Yellow – This stone will get you noticed. But don’t go overboard. Yellow is a very cheerful color but can often be overpowering if overused. Just a hint of yellow can brighten your look.

Green – Makes us feel closer to nature. This color has a sense of calming and can bring balance to your day.
