Guy http://applesofgold.com/jewelry/?p=2311 No color communicates love quite like red, thus it’s no surprise that it’s the color of Valentine’s Day. From red roses to ribbons around boxes of chocolates to valentines, this hue adds a sense of unmistakable romance. Pink, red’s lighter sibling, is also strongly associated with affection, making it an excellent alternative to the classic color of love. Rings and pendants that feature gemstones in either of these colors—from richly-hued ruby jewelry to bold pink topaz pieces—make lovely gifts for your valentine. Here are three gemstones to consider this Valentine’s Day:
