Sweet Summer Jewelry with White Gemstones
Now, in mid-summer, the weather is hot and we're looking for any way to stay cool. It's time to bring out (or acquire) summer jewelry featuring white gemstones for a look that's positively chill.
Sometimes, a lot of color can raise the visual temperature and we crave neutral pieces that add a touch of cool. Good news – you can still look fabulously chic in gems that don't turn on the heat. Jewelry with neutral gemstones, ranging from nearly colorless to white to ivory, is supremely versatile and will highlight all your summer outfits, through Labor Day and beyond.
The all-gold option
All-gold jewelry is another great look for summer. Yellow gold highlights tanned and deep skin tones beautifully, and white gold looks magically icy on a warm summer night. All-gold pieces are a great complement for the season's simpler, pared-down fashions.
Neutrals have a special appeal
White gemstones are far from bland – they have a fascination all their own. From the virtually colorless (Diamond, White Topaz) to milky white (Moonstone) to flashes of color (Opal), neutral gemstones invite a closer look. They often have subtle undertones that change in different lighting.
White-gemstone jewelry is naturally elegant and pairs equally well with colorful outfits and the more natural-toned looks we often favor in summer.

All-gold jewelry for summer
One of the world's most precious metals, gold has been prized by cultures around the globe for thousands of years. Symbolic of wealth, power, and success, gold is a warm, sunny ore that's inherently uplifting and energizing. Associated with the sun, yellow gold promotes self-awareness and ambition, while white gold balances the influence of the sun with that of the moon, for a softer, cooler energy.

FAQ
Jewelry crafted with Diamonds, White Topaz, Moonstone, and Opal blends beautifully with naturally colored fabrics and is a wonderful complement to brighter outfits.
Yes. Diamond and White Topaz are the birthstones for April. Moonstone is a birthstone for June (along with Alexandrite). And Opal is one of four birthstones for October, along with Pink Opal, Pink Tourmaline, and Pink Sapphire.
Absolutely. People wear gemstones for many reasons, not just because it’s the birthstone for the month they were born. Jewelry is extremely personal and you should feel free to wear any gem that speaks to you.
White Topaz is a neosilicate mineral of aluminum and fluorine, while Diamonds are made of pure carbon. They're both hard stones, making them suitable for everyday wear. White Topaz is not quite as hard as Diamond, though, and should be stored in its jewelry pouch or box to keep it from being scratched by harder gems.
