Gemstone Color Wheel


Gemstones come in a rainbow of strikingly vibrant hues, which our gemstone color wheel makes beautifully apparent.

Gemstone Color Wheel

By placing gems in color groupings for easy comparisons, customers can see their many exciting possibilities and subtle color shifts, when wearing gemstone rings or pairing gemstone jewelry options, such as pendants, necklaces, earrings or even wedding rings.

Our color wheel also helps you visualize the differences between Blue Sapphire and Tanzanite, Ruby and Mozambique Garnet, Emerald and Tsavorite Garnet, Purple Spinel and Purple Sapphire. It also helps our customers coordinate two or more gems for a layout.

So whether you are shopping for semi-precious garnet rings, precious rubies, tanzanite or blue sapphire jewelry, our gemstone color wheel can help you co-ordinate your outfits, style and jewelry collection with a beautiful and striking array of gemstone rings, earrings, pendants and necklaces.

You can also see through the gemstone color map (below), where our genuine gemstones are sourced, based on gemstone type from around the world, as you compare each gem type to our gemstone color wheel.

Apples of Gold Jewelry is committed to ethically sourced, fair-trade practices, and the highest degree of transparency.* Our diamond and gemstone buyers travel well over 250,000 miles, sourcing the stones in our vaults. In all of the countries we visit, we work with trusted sources who have an established record of environmental and social integrity. We back this with our strict sourcing protocols as well as regular visits to our cutters, suppliers, and where possible, mines. This work has led to the introduction of our newest selection: Earth to Market™ gemstones of transparent origins.

*When looking for guaranteed ethically sourced gemstones and diamonds, look for SKU#s on our website that begin with “STL”. If you are interested in a non-STL SKU jewelry item, simply contact us and we will confirm the source for you and give you options for ethically sourced diamonds and gemstones that guaranteed to be conflict free. With many manufacturers and suppliers at our disposal, we are sure to find you the exact gemstone type that you want!
