Sumptuous Brown Gemstones
 
Warm and sumptuous, brown reigns supreme as a must-have neutral. Ranging in color from creamy taupe to chocolate, brown is both timeless and trendy. Understated and humble, brown connects us to the earth and all things organic. Brown, in all its variations, communicates a sense of stability, reliability and friendliness.
 
Brown is frequently associated with food, both sweet and wholesome. Rich cocoa, cozy coffee, decadent chocolates, and sensual caramel are just a few sweet associations. At the same time, wheat, brown rice, toasted almond and spicy cinnamon are wholesome connotations that point to the sensible side of brown.
 
Humankind’s attraction or appreciation for brown objects may go back to the ancient human need for shelter. Mother Nature provided the heartiest shelters in shades of brown – from wood to clay. Today, most people appreciate warm wood furniture or floors, and pottery or a walk on a sandy beach
 
Brown in Fashion
 
The past several years have seen brown, in all its variations, rise to the forefront of fashion. Lovers of brown are down-to-earth individuals who appreciate simple elegance, comfort and harmony. These individuals strive for consistency in their routine. They would prefer a movie night at home verses a night out on the town. If you have interest in brown and the brown family of hues, you are certain to find a gem that fits your desires.
 
  • Warm russet browns and deep chocolates complement bone whites and dusty pastels in romantic creations and Victorian-inspired designs.
