Pink: the Hot, New Gemstone Color
Over the past three years, pink gemstones have been showing up on jewelers’ best sellers’ lists. Pink sapphire, rhodolite garnet, pink tourmaline, and even pink diamonds are proving to be hot choices this year. Many times you will see the popularity of gemstone colors mimic those of popular clothing colors and palettes.
Peter Franklin Jewelers carries a selection of sapphire, garnet, and tourmaline in rings, pendants, earrings, and bracelets. We also carry the rarest of the pink stones, pink diamonds.
Pink sapphire stones range in color from pale pink to vivid, hot pink. Sapphires are very hardy stones and they can be worn on a daily basis without fear of damage.
Rhodolite garnets are very deep in color. Often found in shades of red, rhodolite garnets also feature deep pink hues when viewed in natural light. Rhodolite garnet is a very affordable gem, making it the perfect way to add a splash of color to your wardrobe.
Pink tourmaline is found in colors ranging from very light pink to a very deep, dark, saturated pink. Unlike a pink sapphire which can have a very bright pink color, the color of a pink tourmaline is much deep and more muted.
Pink diamonds are the rarest color of all diamonds. Surpassed in rarity only by a true red diamond, of which very few exist, pink diamonds are valued for their luminosity. Their color ranges from pale pink, to purplish-pink, to a vivid hot pink. Found throughout the world, the finest quality pink diamonds are produced in Australia.
