Nothing says summer like bold colorful jewels! Whether you are headed to the beach or to the bbq, (or to fireworks on the 4th!) please don some color in the form of jewelry. Designers are doing fabulous work with a variety of colored gemstones. Bright apple green chrysoprase, cool turquoise, parti-colored (watermelon) tourmaline, blue opal, and multicolored sapphires are fresh for summer.
