Jewelry Jewelry Diamond & Gem Guide How Jewelry Works Shopping & Trends From Carly Wickell, your Guide to Jewelry White diamonds will probably always remain the number one choice of celebrities for most red carpet events, but I love the trend we're seeing towards more colorful gemstones. The Scoop on Turquoise I think we often visualize the color blue when we hear the word turquoise, but it's a gemstone that exists in other colors, including my favorite, bright green Orvil Jack turquoise from the Blue Ridge Mine in Nevada. Even blue turquoise is varied though, because you'll see everything from pale shades of the gem to a bright robin's egg color, all with different amounts of the metallic veining called matrix. Turquoise is the December birthstone but it makes a wonderful gift for anyone, and many pieces work just as well for men as they do for women. Read a few facts about turquoise before you go shopping--it will help you understand the different grades of turquoise that are on the market.
