Designers are having a blast these days working with a wide range of gemstones and playing in full color fields to mix and match tones from light to dark. They’re creating beautiful ombré colorations that consumers are often quite entranced by as they learn more about gemology and what nature has to offer.
Customers have a lot to choose from in the ombré trend, from affordable stack rings to over-the-top evening glamour. The color mix can help the price, too, with less fortunate (cheaper) colors getting to sit next to their better (and more expensive) peers.
Click through this slideshow to see 12 pieces of ombré jewelry.
