The trend in fashionable jewelry is to design shining, attractive and colorful pieces. People are bored with buying normal pieces or pieces that have been produced in large quantities and can be seen in every shop. Modern women dream of unique and exceptional jewelry so they will look exceptional and different from other women all over the world. Today, the dream is a reality because of many different kinds of colorful gems. Experts say that the trend for colorful gems will last for a long time rather than just for a season or two.

Color is very important in the world of elegant jewelry. These days, jewelry makers are using unique and unusual ways of designing. The talent for innovation is becoming more important than the design and the gem itself. It concentrates more on the color of the gem, which becomes as important as the purity of the gem's rarity and weight. Color is not limited to inlaying the stone with known gems such as diamond, corundum and emerald. It also includes mixing of degrees of colors - between bright and less bright and between the rich and the normal.

It is very important that designers master the color game so they will be able to design unsual pieces of jewelry in unusual styles. The mixing of colors attempts to suggest happiness and brightness. We can give an example of the many kinds of pearls with different colors instead of the limited choices we often saw formerly such as white and black pearls. Today, we see both shining and iridescent pearls, such as nacre, pink and yellow.

It is known that the color depends very much on the way gems are cut and polished. The cutting method, which was applied to transparent material in the past, is applied today on half-transparent and non-transparent materials. The classical forms have changed to become larger and more striking because of mixes of transparent and non- transparent substances.
