Amethysts have been known to be of purple hue ever since. But "new" gem varieties have been coming out and been made use in fine jewelry of late. One of these "newer" varieties include green amethysts; essentially green colored quartz (as amethysts are purple colored quartz). It provides a very different, more transparent, shade of green as compared to, say, emeralds and peridots. And more colors only mean more choices, which is a good thing.

Inset are drop earrings and a cocktail ring of green amethysts and pave diamonds set in rose and white gold.

A concept extension from the previous Bridge Ring, here's the updated version using diamonds and rubies set in white and rose gold.

The diamond pave bar goes across a few fingers when worn and gives the illusion that it's floating. Simple, clean lines. AND looks cool.

Available at Firma Greenbelt 3 as part of the Triad/Futurism collection.

Conventional wisdom states that white, or colorless diamonds, are best. But there are exceptions; and they are known as fancy colored diamonds. Technically any other color than clear or white, and its range of yellowish or brownish tints are labeled "fancy" colors. Thanks to J.Lo's huge pink engagement ring Et al...  we probably have an idea what colored colored diamonds are. But how would one know what they actually look like? The colors will definitely be unmistakable. The combination of the vivid hues and the characteristic sharp brilliance of the diamonds make it truly stunning to look at.

Shown here are rings and drop earrings in vivid yellow, light pink and E-F colored diamonds (over 12 carats in total) in tri-color gold setting. So nice that the ring didn't quite make it to the store display. Oh lucky you.
