5. Amethyst
Next up, we have the mesmerisingly beautiful amethyst. Is it glamorous and captivating? Yes. But we also think its unconventional hue will infuse peppiness even into the most basic summer outfits (Yes. We are talking about your white tee and denim combo). When it comes to amethyst jewellery, try jewels that match the boldness of this ravishing purple gem, like a luxurious bracelet, statement earrings or a cocktail ring. You can even shop for stackable bracelets or necklaces if you want and wear them on date night or brunch. Either way, you’re guaranteed to serve lewks!

6. Opal
Thanks to their kaleidoscopic play of colours (an optical illusion that causes the jewel to showcase different patterns and hues when it comes in contact with light), opals fit right into the summer palette. And even though they don’t sparkle like other gems, your opal jewellery will shimmer beautifully under sunlight, brightening your mood and outfit.
Have a streak of bad luck? Opals can bring happiness and good luck; exactly what you need to feel like your best self all summer long.
