Something Bright for Summer Vibe:

I am sure you will agree that it is impossible to witness in any other season the wide variety of bright colours prominent in summer. Mother Nature paints everything around us in extraordinary colours and embellishes the Earth with millions of beautiful flowers, just like women adorn themselves with jewels.

For as long as the enjoyable sunny season has not been substituted by rainy autumn, colourful jewellery remains the hot trend. It perfectly complements any summer outfit and resonates with colourful wristwatches, which I dedicated my previous gallery to. It is said that gemstones have their own emotional charge and are able to absorb the energy of the surrounding environment. Therefore, why not take your sapphires, tsavorites, amethysts, rubies, topazes and coloured stones for a walk by the sea? It is an opportunity not only to dress up during the holiday, but also to charge your jewellery with positive energy. Still in doubt which piece to choose for a summer vacation? Take a look at my selection here and you will surely find some jewellery that you’ll want to wear on an unforgettable vacation this year!
