Sterling silver gemstone jewellery in a range of colours

Some popular gemstone colours include:

- Blue – from larimar to lapizlLazuli, there are lots of blue toned gems that look great set in silver jewellery. Turquoise is a classic, while chrysocolla is on-trend and has unique patterns.
- Green – if you want green gems, look for jewellery with green amethyst, atlantisite (a combination of serpentine and stichtite), peridot and green pyrite, or a faceted piece of labradorite for a bold look.
- Yellows and oranges – if you like autumnal tones, choose a yellow pyrite, Sonora sunrise chrysocolla or citrine.
When we create our beautiful jewellery, semi-precious stones finish off each piece perfectly, and there’s a rainbow of colours to choose from.
If you’re wondering how to co-ordinate your gemstones with your outfits, simply choose one of the primary colours in the clothing you’re wearing, then pick a similar coloured gem to accentuate it. If you’re wearing black, white or neutral tones, then pretty much any coloured gem will co-ordinate well, although reds and greens can look particularly striking.

Silver jewellery with semi-precious stones is easy to co-ordinate
One of the key things to remember when choosing which piece of semi-precious silver jewellery to wear is to find pieces that co-ordinate nicely. If you wear sterling silver gemstone jewellery from Silver Australia, each piece is slightly different, while still co-ordinating, so people can see that it’s genuine, natural jewellery. It’s the slight imperfections and patterns in each stone that make it completely unique and beautiful, and this makes each piece of jewellery even more eye-catching.
