Power of Black in Gemstones Black communicates power and authority and makes a person feel like he or she can take on the world. In Japan, black is the color for boys as well as the color representing the mysterious. The Romans viewed black as a symbol of immortality. In ancient Egypt, black was the color of fertility and renewal. Black in Fashion Many people love wearing black because it makes them look thinner and feel confident. In fashion, black is timeless. That is why black clothing tends to be a good investment and can make even a simple pair of blue jeans appear dressy. If you want a piece of jewelry that mixes well with your wardrobe and communicates assurance and style, any jewelry set with black gemstones or diamonds is ideal. Brightly colored fashions and ethnic-inspired fabrics will look fantastic with black gems such as Black Diamond, Onyx or Black Spinel. These crisp blacks will also attract attention when set in geometric designs and classic art deco creations. As gray has come to the forefront of the fashion scene lately, softer black gems will be an ideal complement creating a sleek, achromatic look. Colorful Black Opal and iridescent Black Cultured Pearls -- including Tahitian, Akoya and Freshwater -- are softer blacks that go with anything and are perfect for fun, business or black-tie affairs. These suggestions can help guide you as you select the perfect black gem. Keep in mind that these are not hard and fast rules, just ideas to spark your own creativity and help you think of color first when buying gemstones and gemstone jewelry.
