Elegance with an edge – if this is something that best describes your style, you’ll love what we’re about to tell you. A popular gemstone fashion trend is to sport pieces with eye-catching gemstone shapes. Pick necklaces, rings and earrings adorned with a mix of pear, emerald-cut, oval or trillion-cut gems. You can also choose coloured gemstone pieces in unique geometrical shapes to give your casual and work outfits that edgy look.

Here’s another way to accessorise with gemstones – simply wear your birthstone with any outfit in your closet. personalised jewellery is all the rage, whether it’s in the form of a ring, pendant or bracelet.

6. Play with Warm and Cool Tones
Remember the colour wheel you learned as a kid? Well, it’s time to play around with colours once again. You can stick to cool tones by pairing blue aquamarine pieces with a green top. Or go for all warm tones and accessorise your red, orange and yellow outfits with ruby, garnet, citrine or orange and yellow sapphire jewellery.
Don’t like playing by the rules? Go ahead and mix warm and cool tones for an aesthetically appealing mismatched look. Wear rubies with a royal blue or purple blouse or pair emeralds and blue sapphires with a bright yellow or orange dress (remember, it’s all about being bold and having fun).
7. Gemstone and Outfit Pairings for Every Season
Your gemstone jewellery picks can also follow the change in seasons. So, when you’re wearing those bright green and yellow outfits in the spring and summer, don’t forget to style them with pretty olive-green peridot jewellery. Dressing cozier for autumn and winter? Pair your cardigans, jackets and sweaters with gorgeous garnet and amethyst pieces.
8. Pep up Your Work Outfits with colour
Your almost-neutral weekday wardrobe deserves a burst of colour too. We believe it’s the best way to beat the Monday blues.

Love the monochrome trend? Why not take it up a notch with matching gemstone pieces? Pick an all-purple outfit and pair it with some alluring amethyst jewellery. Or dress up in regal blues and glam it up with sapphire sparklers. You can even accessorise your LBD or all-black outfit with some black diamond or black onyx rings, earrings, bracelets and pendants.
