You are My Sunshine

Yellow is happy and bright. Yellow makes you smile even when you don’t wanna. Yellow is warm and nurturing. It is the color of the sun in the summer and the bright petals on a sunflower. Everyone loves yellow. Even when yellow can be a little dangerous and send a warning out to you, you are still drawn to it.

Yellow Diamond

Did you know that the yellow diamond is the most common color in diamonds? It’s just that for whatever reason, people prefer the white ones. The diamond is the birthstone of April babies.

Yellow Spinel

This stone is normally a red stone, and they are quite often used as a ruby substitute. However, they are available in yellow, and yellow is a very rare color for these stones. That makes them sought after by collectors.
Yellow Sphene

Cymophane

Cymophane is the name given to chrysoberyl when it is yellow instead of green. They are the third hardest stone and are sought out for their chatoyancy. They are known as cat’s eye stones and this was once the June birthstone.

Yellow Topaz

If you lived in the Middle Ages, you called all yellow stones topaz, but now the word topaz is anything that is siliate regardless of the color. Yellow topaz is also known as precious topaz, and it can be found in Brazil.

Other yellow stones that are commonly found in jewelry include amber, yellow jade, sunstone, yellow beryl, citrine, agate and flourite.

Orange You Glad It’s Getting Warmer?

Orange

Bright, cheerful and powerful. That’s what you see when you look at something orange. It is a brilliant hot color that makes everything around it glow with warmth. It moves and flows like hot lava. It is spontaneous and playful. When you want something that stands out, then select something orange.

Clinohumite

This stone is a cousin to the peridot and can only be found in the countries of Serbia and Tajikistan. It is either transparent or translucent and yellow orange in color.

Orange Garnet

The garnet is more than a red stone; it can be found in some lovely oranges. It’s proper name is the Malaya garnet. The more traditional red garnet is the birthstone of January and the sign of Aquarius.

Orange Spessartine Garnet

Orange Opal

This gemstone is commonly known as the fire opal or jelly opal if the coloring is not so bright. October babies and Libra babies consider the opal their birthstone. The orange opal is not a common gemstone, so it is rather pricey.

Fire Opals

Citrine

The pretty citrine is extremely rare. It is a variety of quartz and is really a yellow or brown color. There are a lot of so called citrine stones on the marketplace that are really heat treated quartz rather than true citrine. November’s child adores citrine.

Citrine against Amethyst

Other beautiful oranges that we see in today’s jewelry include amber, carnelian, peach moonstone sardonyx and agates. These oranges make the pieces warm and exciting.

Here are some brilliant and energetic oranges that are ready for you to enjoy. Buy them all today.
