Romantic Pink Gemstones
The softer side of red is pink. Therefore, pink, has a lot of the same attributes and emotions of red, just toned down a bit. Where red is energetic and passionate, pink is sensuous and romantic.
While red can make the heart beat faster, certain shades of pink tend to calm the body. Pink is thought of as a happy color, one of welcome and grace. The pink ribbon is an internationally recognized symbol of hope and awareness in the fight against breast cancer. In Japan, the color pink has a masculine association. There, the annual blooming of the cherry trees, with their pink blossoms each spring, is said to represent the young Japanese warriors who fell in battle during the prime of their life.
Pink in Fashion
Pink has a far-reaching range of hues -- from magentas bordering on red, to corals that touch the orange spectrum to mauve pinks with hints of purple. People who pick pink as their favorite color can be described as talented, gentle and warm. Those who lean toward the brighter end of the pink spectrum are more passionate and dynamic but not as outspoken as the red lover. Ask yourself these questions about design tastes:
- Are you looking for a big and bold piece of jewelry?
- Do you want something whimsical or natural in design style?
- What type of clothing do you want it to go with – blue jeans or a little black dress?
Vintage pinks gained popularity this year, especially when they were set in designs that are romantically inspired. These dusty pinks will also complement nautical-themed designs and curvilinear creations. Ideal gems to suggest would be pastel Pink Sapphire, Rose Quartz, Pink Coral, Morganite or Pink Diamond. Imperial quality Precious Topaz is another vintage pink jewel that will be of interest to those who want something no one else has.
Brighter pinks such as Pink Tourmaline, Rhodolite Garnet, darker qualities of Pink Sapphire or Chatham Created Pink Sapphire look great when set in jewelry that looks hand-made. Mod-inspired creations with bright metals and open geometric designs such as circles and ovals also look stunning when set with bright pink gems. Pink Color Fusion Topaz by Signity® is another pink option.
