The three most popular coloured gemstones in the jewellery market are highly saturated rubies, intense blue sapphires and deep green emeralds, however springtime calls for more tempered hues. In fact, these dominant gem varieties also form in pastel shades, including pale yellow, purple, pink, grass green and pale blue. Furthermore, jade, amethyst, aquamarine, turquoise and coral typically appear in shades befitting of an Easter egg, while opal can display all of these colours in one stone. Reminiscent of spring blooms, these jewels would make a perfect complement to any lady's springtime attire, or a welcome surprise inside an Easter basket.
