Many of you said you couldn’t get enough and asked for more recommendations. Of course, I’m happy to oblige!
This time, it’s even more special! I’ve put together a collection focusing entirely on jewelry set with colored gemstones.
These various translucent and eye-catching colored gems look incredibly sweet and charming.
They’re especially atmospheric when worn during spring and summer!
Compared to plain gold or silver styles, colored jewelry tends to be bolder and more fashionable!
Wearing these pieces out gives a unique impression, immediately showing that you’re an advanced jewelry enthusiast who doesn’t just stick to safe choices.
Most importantly, all the styles I’ve prepared for you today are still priced under $4,000, so they won’t put too much pressure on your wallet.
If you’re looking to add some new jewelry pieces to your collection, read on!
Van Cleef & Arpels
First on our list is the Van Cleef & Arpels Vintage Alhambra single motif necklace.
With the growing popularity of the four-leaf clover design in recent years, many women have said they never expected to be captivated by it again after so many years. 🍀
You have to admit, the single four-leaf clover design is classic, elegant, and highly recognizable – no wonder everyone loves it!
Besides the charming rounded flower shape, a major advantage of this series is the rich variety of materials and colors available.
It’s not just the popular white and yellow gold with mother-of-pearl that we’ve seen a lot in recent years. There are also options in onyx, mother-of-pearl, turquoise, tiger’s eye, malachite, and various other gemstones.
While offering a rainbow of colors, each piece presents a unique style!
For spring and summer wear, I especially recommend the purple chalcedony necklace.
Its chain and gold bead frame are made of white gold, which is rare in the four-leaf clover series. Paired with the soft purple-blue chalcedony, it’s like a mystical flower from a fairy tale world, exuding an enchanting aura.
This unique cool and gentle atmosphere complements the girly or artistic style that many Chinese women love.
Worn around the neck, it has a brightening and uplifting effect on the complexion.
No wonder it’s long been a favorite “rich girl necklace” among young women.
Pomellato
When talking about colored gemstones, we can’t forget Pomellato’s Nudo collection.
The special cutting and bare setting techniques make the colored gemstones look like sweet and colorful candies.
Each stone is crystal clear and incredibly tempting!
If you’re interested in this series but worried that large gemstones might be hard to pull off, I recommend starting with the Nudo Petit rings. They feature smaller gemstones and come at a more accessible price point!
The small, exquisite gemstones offer the sophistication of colored stones while being versatile, easy to wear, and full of youthful energy.
When worn alone, these rings have a strong presence and easily catch the eye.
Over time, you can buy more, gradually collecting different colors and styles to stack and wear together. This further emphasizes your unique, fashionable attitude!
Additionally, Pomellato has a more niche Iconica necklace that’s worth checking out.
The gemstone settings are creatively designed in star, triangle, oval, and square shapes, combined with seven vibrantly colored gemstones. It’s like a kaleidoscopic vision come to life.
While looking lively and romantic, it’s also full of childlike wonder!
The small pendant is like a fragment of a rainbow resting on your chest, emitting twinkling light.
Especially when worn with simple, solid-colored clothes, it instantly adds a touch of sophistication to your entire look!
Qeelin
Qeelin, known for its Eastern aesthetics, also offers many jewelry pieces featuring colored gemstones.
Perhaps the most well-known is the red agate version from the Wulu series.
But it’s not just red – the pink Wulu is equally stunning!
The small gourd-shaped design is set with pink opal on the surface and outlined with diamonds.
The color scheme is fresh and elegant, perfectly complementing the gentle romance of spring.
The subtle pink hue gives off a soft and sweet girlish vibe while making the wearer appear gentle.
Not to mention, it also caters to the currently popular neo-Chinese aesthetics.
Wearing it not only brings good luck but also showcases your fashion sense and taste.
Most importantly, the Wulu series is very affordable and offers great value for money!
Even the diamond-set versions are mostly priced around $1200. Combined with its versatility and wearability, it’s truly a worthwhile investment.
Buccellati
The next Buccellati Blossoms series should be familiar to jewelry enthusiasts!
Especially the super popular daisy ring, which is many people’s first choice when entering the world of Buccellati.
Now the daisy family has new options!
If you like daisies but want something more special, consider getting the Blossoms Colour series set with colored gemstones this spring!
The flowers in this series are also made of 925 silver, but what makes them unique is that each flower’s center is set with a colored agate.
Besides the more common red agate, there are also yellow, blue, and pink options in delicate colors.
The vibrant agate, paired with the blooming flowers, exudes a romantic and bright Italian flair!
The blue agate center is especially fitting for spring and summer wear.
Pair it with a dress, and you can easily create a vibrant, youthful look!
It’s worth noting that although the ring is priced in the $800, the quality doesn’t feel thin at all.
Each vein on the petals has been carefully carved, and there’s a gold edge as an accent next to the agate center. It looks so lifelike that you’ll be pleasantly surprised when you see it in person.
Additionally, the Blossoms series includes gardenia-shaped jewelry.
Unlike the daisy version, the center of the gardenia petals is set with sweet pink sapphires.
The flower center is more dazzling, and the design has a more charming, feminine touch.
Messika
Surprisingly, Messika, known for its creative diamond designs, is also skilled at designing colored jewelry! Take a look at the Messika Lucky Move series.
Inspired by lucky charms, it looks like a shiny round shield adorned with various gemstones and diamonds.
For spring and summer, consider this turquoise bracelet!
The bright and colorful small disc is eye-catching when worn.
In daily life, when you casually glance down, seeing such vibrant colors and freely moving small diamonds can instantly uplift your mood.
The key point is, despite its large size and combination of gemstones and diamonds, it’s priced just over 20,000 CNY!
Moreover, this series is relatively niche, so wearing it out will highlight your unique taste.
Boucheron
Next up is Boucheron‘s Serpent Bohème, another niche treasure.
The jewelry design in this series is straightforward yet generous, featuring large pear-cut colored gemstones paired with gold beads and intricate patterns.
It looks both glamorous and slightly vintage!
I especially recommend this sea-blue chalcedony ring. It’s like a crystal dewdrop on a spring flower, naturally exuding a fresh and elegant atmosphere.
The main stone of the ring is over 1 carat and pear-cut, so it appears quite large when worn.
The key is that it’s priced under $2500, looking much more expensive than its actual price.
If you prefer a sweet style, check out the rose quartz version from the same series.
The gentle light pink color and transparent texture don’t look overly sweet or tacky, but instead exude an elegant and understated sophistication!
Well, I’ve introduced so many options to you all at once!
I wonder if you’ve found one that you like?
