A Discovery of Unique Gemstone Combinations

When you go into a jewelry store, some of the most common gemstone combinations you will see are diamonds set with pearls, rubies, emeralds and sapphires.

If you think outside the box, there is an incredible variety of gemstones that can be combined to create a unique masterpiece. You will be amazed to discover the unbelievable combinations.

Clear stones can be combined with opaque or translucent stones. Gemstones that have natural inclusions can be combined with clear stones.

Gemstones of similar colors can be set together to compliment or enhance each other's color, i.e. lime green peridot with emeralds, light blue aquamarine with sky blue topaz, pink tourmaline with rubies.

One of my favorite stones is moonstone. It can be combined with opals and sapphires for a truly magical combination. One of the intriguing features of moonstone is the stone's shimmer--the magical glow that glides across the surface of the stone (a.k.a adularescence) when combined with an opal with its brilliant flashes of color or the sparkle and blue of a sapphire--makes for a stunning and radiant piece of jewelry that will certainly command its fair share of compliments.

Be flamboyant, free-spirited and have fun in exploring all the dimensions of gemstones' colors.

I would love to hear from you and what some of your favorite combinations are.

When you think outside of the box, it is amazing to see and discover the unique combinations of gemstones that can be combined.

Clear stones can be combined with opaque or translucent gems, as well as gemstones that have natural inclusions or other unique features such as moonstone's shimmer aka adularescence can be combined with other gemstones with unique features.

Imagine a light grey moonstone combined with an opal. A light grey, semi-translucent opal with the white light floating across the stone beside a white opal that emits an explosion of colors. Its an incredible combination, because they are two such diverse stones each with their own unique characteristic.

You can see from the rings pictured here how diverse the combinations can be and how absolutely breathtaking they are.

I love the upper pinkish tourmaline that is combined with the rich dark rubies, and the lime green peridot combined with the rich forest green emeralds. Another favorite is light blue topaz combined with royal blue sapphires.

Be flamboyant, free-spirited and have fun in exploring all the dimensions of gemstones' colors.
