Summer is here! Whatever stage of life you find yourself in, you can embrace the beauty and slower pace of the season. Whether it's lazy days spent reading in a hammock, a long-awaited vacation to warm your skin in the sun and breathe in the salt air, or dusky evenings spent on the back patio sipping a cocktail (or mocktail).
What’s the perfect accessory for your seasonal wardrobe? If you ask us, it’s summer gemstones — those multifaceted beauties that speak to sultry summer nights, coastal getaways and celebrations of all types. Here are five of our favorite gemstones to incorporate into your looks:
ruby: the gemstone of passion and energy
Rubies exude passion and a fiery vitality. The buzzing vibrance of ruby jewelry makes it a perfect accompaniment to the heat of the summer season; it is, after all, the July birthstone. Pair your ruby pieces with outfits for a Fourth of July gathering, a parade and fireworks, barbecues and those summer concerts.
pearl: the classic gemstone for summer occasions
Soft and delicate, versatile and classic, pearl jewelry is like a line of breezy laundry drying in the summer sun. Pair pearl earrings, bracelets and necklaces with summer weddings and other special occasions, whether you’re a guest or the bride. These serene stones are said to promote purity and speak to inner beauty.
emerald: the gemstone of love and wisdom
Everything is growing wildly, from plump summer squash hanging on vines to soft summer lawns and verdant hillsides. Emerald jewelry evokes the lushness of the summer season, and the green gemstone signifies wisdom, love and good fortune.
sapphire: the gemstone of loyalty and truth
You know those summer days after a downpour where the skies clear and sunlight reflects off the hot pavement? The deep blue of sapphires emulates that rich feeling of sunny days ahead. Add sapphire jewelry into your summer repertoire to give any outfit a pop of color and to evoke characteristics of wisdom, truth and loyalty.
aquamarine: the gemstone of serenity and courage
Whether you’re in Miami Beach, Mykonos or the Midwest, aquamarine jewelry mimics the crystalline waters of the ocean or the refreshing splash into a cool pool on a hot day. Embrace the serenity and calmness aquamarine symbolizes, or let the tone fuel your imagination and courage to take on new adventures throughout the season.
