Red, White and Blue for Summer

Three cheers for the red, white and blue! As we head into the major summer holidays, and break out the red white and blue in our fashions and home decor, think about putting these all-American shades together in your gemstone palette. My first thought was ruby, diamond and sapphire, but that could get a little pricey and a little too dressy for a summer backyard party! So, think outside the box when looking to create this patriotic look. My friend Carolyn Pollack who designs Sincerely Southwest for us, calls turquoise, mother of pearl and carnelian the Southwestern version of red white and blue. If you prefer faceted gemstones, turn to garnet, white topaz and blue topaz for a sparkling red white and blue effect!
