Christmas is an annual holiday that is accompanied by many traditions. From trimming the tree to wrapping gifts and singing tunes that represent the meaning of the holiday, there are many happy moments that December brings every year. In addition to those longstanding traditions that many of us have grown to love, there are also certain colors that will forever remind us of this precious holiday. Among the most popular are, of course, red and green. Other classics include silver, gold, blue and even white.

If you love to adorn yourself with the colors of the season, you can easily incorporate a variety of gemstones (simulated or genuine) into the perfect accessories that will leave you feeling festive. Silver is a popular color for the holidays as it's found in gift wrap, icicle strands for trimming the tree and even ornaments. If you want to decorate yourself with silver, you can do so easily and affordably with the help of genuine sterling silver. If you want to add some color to your jewelry wardrobe, consider the following options:

Red. This is one of the most popular colors of the holiday, and can be celebrated with garnet, ruby or a simulated version of either. From the color of Santa's suit and a certain reindeer's nose to the twinkling lights on the tree, red has a very special place in the hearts of all who love the holidays. Cubic zirconia is available in a variety of colors, including red. From rings to earrings and even necklaces, this is the perfect color to add a very festive feel to your wardrobe.

Green. It's the color of your perfect Christmas tree, a stunning wreath that you use to adorn your front door and it's also a popular choice in gift wrap. Green is one of the traditional colors of the holidays, and you can create your own cheer with the help of peridot, emeralds or a simulated version of either. Because both of these natural gemstones can be quite pricey, an affordable alternative is cubic zirconia designed to simulate these popular jewels.

Gold. If you love gold ribbon, bows, gift wrap and holiday ornaments, you can decorate yourself affordably with the help of simulated champagne diamonds and either genuine or simulated citrine jewelry. In addition to being a popular winter color, these gems are also a smart pick in terms of the current jewelry trends.

Blue. We all love blue; it reminds us of the perfect afternoon when the sun is out and there isn't a cloud in the sky. But, we also love blue for its significance during the holidays. Snowflakes are often associated with the white and blue color combination, but blue is also a beloved decoration in terms of ornaments, gift wrap, ribbons and bows. What does this mean for jewelry lovers? Blue topaz and aquamarine, or a simulated version of either, will be the perfect compliment to your winter wardrobe.

White. The icy cool color of snow translates beautifully into the crystal clear cubic zirconia or white topaz gemstones. Reminiscent of the beautiful icicles that form on your window on a cold winter morning, either of these are a perfect example of just how beautiful a colorless feature can be. Both of the aforementioned gemstones will give the appearance of a flawless diamond, which is always the perfect compliment to any wardrobe and a traditional choice for every occasion.

If you're looking to add the colors of Christmas to your very own jewelry wardrobe, those mentioned in this article will serve you well during the upcoming holiday season and for many years to come.
