| Once upon a time, where gemstones are concerned, we had to choose between the soul-filling colors of semi-precious stones and the breath-holding brilliance of diamonds. Once upon a time, but not anymore. Increasingly, as you browse through your favorite jewelry stores or leaf through your magazines at the beach, you’ll see diamonds in a virtual rainbow of colors. Yellow, fuchsia, blue and cognac natural diamonds, set into platinum,
titanium, gold and sterling—even steel, deliver
all the brilliance,
beauty and durability you’d expect plus the sensational color of
hues captured from the rainbow. “ A deep yellow princess-cut pendant, surrounded by
cornflower blue round stones and set into 18-karat yellow gold casts its
fire in every direction as it turns to and fro on its matching chain. “ Twin pear-shaped lavender diamonds swing gently
at the tips of long, platinum stiletto earrings and look especially bright
with complementary white diamonds against the earlobes. Pink and yellow
ovals play leap-frog around a sterling tennis bracelet. “ Think of white as just another color, and use rainbow diamonds to surround and showcase large brilliant white center stones. Any way you design them, the colorful brilliance of diamonds sets your style.
