Colored Gemstones for Spring 2016

Fashion trends in clothing and jewelry revolve around Pantone's color forecast every season.

After taking a good look at the color forecast, I like to make my own predictions for gemstones that I believe would be good choices to use in jewelry this year.   

Here are a couple of charts showing this spring's fashion colors...

And here are your gemstone choices that compliment spring's color... 

Rose Quartz (color of the year) -  Rose Quartz, Pink Opal, Dyed Pink Chalcedony
