During spring, many people like to match their jewelry with budding flowers and trees. While diamonds and pearls are perfect for the snow and ice of winter, warm-weather jewels need color. Below are several gemstones to bring color into your jewelry collection.

What Colored Gemstones Are Perfect for Spring?

1. Peridot

Spring brings green to mind as trees and grasses start growing again. Remind yourself of this beautiful time with peridot jewelry. Peridot gems can be pale green to bright olive or brownish. This gem has the nickname of “evening emerald” because the greens appear darker at night.

2. Citrine

Citrine gemstones are a type of quartz. They may feature a yellowish, orange tint and range from light varieties like champagne or more vibrant colors that resemble a creamsicle. The many hues may remind you of sun rays, with its see-through beauty.

3. Sapphire 

jewelryThose born in September may be familiar with sapphire because it is their birthstone. This gemstone is the second-strongest, after diamonds. It is known for its deep blue hues, but is available in many colors, from teal to yellow, pink and purple. This complements the warm weather by contrasting well with lighter colored clothing, giving a pop of color.

4. Amethyst

Amethyst is a mineral that is often a deep purple hue, reminiscent of iris flowers. Some varieties become green, but many stay purple. If a gemologist exposes amethyst to heat, it can turn orangish-yellow and become citrine. Gems between an amethyst and a citrine are often purple with light yellow lines.

5. Aquamarine

March birthstone jewelry contains aquamarine, a beryl stone that is usually blue, teal, or sea green. This semi-precious gem is nearly see-through and brings to mind the tranquility of staring at a body of water or enjoying fresh spring rain.
