Pink

Sensitive and sensual, pink can be a powerful color for women. Color psychologists say pink may even have the power to steal energy from those who are nearby. Is she affectionate and gentle – or do your knees go weak around her? Then she may favor this lighter shade of red. For her softer side, look for pastel shades. Or have fun finding out about "hot pink" together. We love the way the Zoe and Bianca ensembles create a pink tease. And the Abrielle blends two of our favs - pearls and pink - together.

Orange

Playful is good. Really good. Orange brings warmth, energy, and a sense of fun to the party. Darker shades are spicy and exotic; brighter ones spark enthusiasm. The pastel shades of orange tend to be soft and feminine – the warmer side of pink. Does she warm up the room and give life a little more zest? Return the favor with orange gemstones from the Penelope or Julietta jewelry ensembles.

Green

There’s a mystery about green, especially its color variations. You don’t know exactly where you stand. Green is shady and cool one minute, bright and sharp the next. If you love the way she keeps you guessing, green may be the color for her. Drawn directly from nature, cooler tones express her balance and composure, embodied by the Lara and Gabriella ensembles. Brighter, more vivid shades with flashes of yellow bring energy and freshness.

Blue

If cool were a color, it would be blue. The sky-and-water feel of blue makes us physically relax. Is she the one you turn to at the end of a hard day? The one you know will understand? Then blue may be her color. Give her a gift of gemstones whose strength and balance match her own. From ice blue to deep sapphire, gray-blue to teal, the many shades of blue are among the most powerful and popular of all colors. And you'll just have to forgive us, but we think we might just be the best "blue" jeweler around. Take a look at the Nicci, Ophelia, Maria, Diana, and Katerina collections, and you'll agree.

Purple

If there’s a hint of power in the way she moves, chances are she’ll respond to purple. Long understood as the color of royalty, purple can range from vibrant and edgy, to dark and cool. It has the power to brighten her mood, or to soften the rough edges of a long day. Is she energetic and regal, a force to be reckoned with? Choose deeper purple gemstones like those found in the Jena or Rachele ensembles. Relaxed and confident? Try the Camelia. She’ll appreciate softer, gentler tones.

White & Beige

Not every color wears its heart on its sleeve. She may respond best to the purity and calm of cool white. Because it catches and reflects light, any white transparent stone looks crisp and powerful. Milkier whites and beige gems seem soft and natural. The rutilated quartz and pearls of the Helena ensemble are particularly fetching. Does she look at home on a sandy beach? Do you love to watch her when she’s quiet and still? Surprise her with gemstones in clear white and pale beige, like the South Sea pearls in the Natalia line. For a touch of glamour and fire, add the richness of golden and champagne hues.

Black

You’ve heard of “basic black.” There’s a reason for that: black goes with everything. But her response to black may be anything but basic. If she wears black, it’s because this color communicates power; in it, she can take on the world. Better yet, it never goes out of fashion. If she’s the one you think of for confidence and style, black gemstones may be the perfect expression. Chic and sophisticated, these are gems that work well with others or stand strong on their own. Sound like anyone you know? How about Olivia or Celia?
