The new year is a time for looking back at the past and making plans for the future. I can safely say that everyone in our community has endured some undue stress and loss in the past couple of years and especially the last few weeks. We truly hoping for some positivity and brightness in 2022. That being said, both vibrant and soothing gemstone colors are all on trend.
People are wanting gems and styles with intentional sentiments like love, wisdom, resilience, positivity and authenticity. Warm feminine jewel tones in pinks and reds and the cool blues and greens of the Mediterranean are set to be our go-to’s this year.

Pearls
For many, previous years brought disappointment, anxiety, and – finally – hope. Pearls, a symbol of wisdom and purity, are definitely a gem that resonate with these stressors. Just as a pearl is created by the ‘stress’ of a grain of sand and create something glorious, our stress and lessons learned can also be turned into some thing positive. Pearls simply never go out of style. Whether worn simply or with a bit of panache they’re going to be with us for a long time.
