But that is not all that gems can do for you because with the proper designs gems can be as bold and as wild as you want. Yes my dear reader, gems are not only for the dressy and elegant affairs. Today's modern woman is an emancipated woman, she is independent and she does not need anyone to dictate what she will wear. So the recent trends in jewelry have shown that big, bold and chunky are completely in fashion and avant-garde gem jewelry is being seen everywhere.

So no matter what look you prefer, there are gem jewelry collections out there for you. The classic looks come first to our notice. A pair of diamond stud ear rings and a single solitaire pendant is still considered to be an elegant way to carry yourself at a casual occasion like dinner dates. Simple pearl necklaces and earrings are also popular for their sophisticated look. These are conventional choices that have become classic jewelry items that are a must in the collection of every woman.

Turquoise is another stone that makes for a slightly more bold and colorful statement that catches the eye immediately. These are most popular in the form of a necklace and are mostly worn with casual summery outfits that have softer hues and are made out of lighter materials like cotton.

Gems like purple amethysts, red garnets and blue sapphires have darker and richer colors that go with the heavier looks of the winter. For example, a large purple amethyst bearing necklace will look it's best when worn with something that has a faux fur trimming and has a full volume rather than something that is sleek and body hugging. But this rule can be broken.

For a wild look, you can try a red garnet set in antique looking silver and then team it up with a black or white dress that has frills and trimmings. If you are wearing something that has sheer, the nude look will be best complimented with something that is striking like a blue sapphire or a star sapphire.

For bracelets, you can choose to be bold and select a piece that has a well-shaped piece of amber set in it. Ambers will sometimes have a captured insect that got fossilized when the amber was initially forming, this will make for a wilder look. You can choose a large Topaz ring with things like small skulls around the gem holding the piece in. These are smaller details that will enhance the rebellious yet the seemingly sophisticated look that looks good on many women.

Gemstones are in very high demand and they look gorgeous when set in to the right form. While choosing the piece you must think of the color and the shape. Also look at the material the gem is set in.
