Colored stones are more than just a trend: they add personality to jewelry and often carry a meaning. Here is an overview of the most important colors – and which stones suit you.
Blue: calm and clear
Blue stones look fresh and soothing. Larimar shows the blue of the Caribbean, turquoise is a classic protective stone. Examples are the Larimar stud earrings and the bracelet with turquoise, rose quartz & pearls. Sparkling blue is the dreamcatcher necklace with blue moissanite.
Green: natural and fresh
Green stands for nature and new beginnings. Jade has a long tradition, peridot shines in bright olive green. For example, the jade necklace with pearls or the peridot bracelet with freshwater pearls.
Violet: elegant and mysterious
Amethyst is the best-known purple stone – versatile and beautiful with both silver and gold. For example, the amethyst necklace with freshwater pearls or the amethyst bracelet with baroque pearl.
Pink: gentle and loving
Rose quartz is considered a stone of love and pairs particularly well with pearls, for example in the rose quartz necklace with pearls.
Orange: warm and vibrant
Carnelian brings warmth to any look – for example, the carnelian bracelet with freshwater pearls.
Hardness and everyday wear
| Stone | Hardness (Mohs) | Everyday wear |

How to combine colored stones
- A single accent color is enough – keep the rest neutral.
- Pearls as a bridge: They harmoniously connect colored stones with any outfit.
- Cool stones (blue, purple) look particularly beautiful with silver, warm stones (orange, green) with gold.
Care
Many colored stones react sensitively to chemicals, heat, and sunlight. Clean them only with a soft, slightly damp cloth and store them separately.
