I love blue gemstones, but I had no idea there were so many! I thought they were just aquamarine, topaz, and sapphire. I didn’t know a single thing about any of the other stones. I also didn’t know that some were harder than others. This was all new information to me and it was certainly a lot to take in, especially while I was jewelry shopping.
Blue gemstones are known to have different hardnesses, making some ready for jewelry and others only for collecting. Their rarity depends on how easily accessible they are, where they come from, and whether or not they can be faceted.
If you’re curious to find out about blue gemstones, how to wear them, what they’re good for, and how expensive they may be, keep reading. There’s a lot of information to be taken in below. You’ll learn all about the Mohs hardness scale and which gemstones are the best to be worn all of the time, occasionally, or not at all.
What Is The Definition Of A Gem?
A gem can be defined as a precious, semi-precious stone or pearl fine enough for use in jewelry. It may also be defined as a jewel, a valuable stone, or something highly valued, such as an emerald or diamond.
How Are The Quality of Gemstones Judged?
Gemstones are judged by the 4C’s of gemstone grading. These are cut, color, clarity, and carat. Jewelers use this grading system to determine how much a gemstone costs and its value.
Cut
One of the most important factors in grading gemstones is the cut. It has a great effect on the gem’s appearance and is one of the most difficult qualities for a non-professional to judge due to variations.
Color
The color of the gemstone is important. Gemologists describe gem color by referring to hue, tone, and saturation. The basic hues of a gemstone are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet, and purple. Black, white, and brown are saturations. The tone of a gem refers to how light or dark it is and saturation refers to the intensity of the hue.
Clarity
Clarity affects the rarity and price. The clarity refers to the tiny markings within the diamond. Flawless is the rarest and most expensive. A diamond that has inclusions is less clear and therefore will cost less.
Colored gems will be graded on if they’re eye-clean (with inclusions that are visible to the naked eye). Any visible inclusion will lower a gem’s value. However, emeralds are special cases. They won’t be as clear as a diamond or other stones. If you want an emerald without an eye-visible inclusion, you’re limited to small stones.
Carat Weight
A carat is divided into points. ¼ carat is 25 points, ½ is 50 and so on. The more points the stone has, the more carats it has, and ultimately the more it’s going to cost. The effect of carat weight on gemstone value will vary by gemstone type and color. Aquamarine stones are easy to find in large sizes, but rubies aren’t, so rubies are going to cost more.
Blue Gemstones: List, Colors, Meanings, and More
What Do Blue Gemstones Mean?
Blue gemstones symbolize communication, and clarity, and correspond to the throat chakra. Each type of blue stone has a different meaning, but a lot of them are used for conflict resolution, speaking from the heart, and achieving mental focus and clarity.
What Do Blue Crystals Mean?
Blue crystals are known as the crystals of trust. People will use these crystals to become more sincere, trustworthy, faithful, and responsible. It’s believed that blue crystals give individuals the focus they desire. Blue crystals also connect with Neptune and Mars and shimmer at the throat chakra (if you’re into that kind of thing). It stands for intuition, wisdom, and the ability to keep a calm head.
Blue Gemstones for Everyday Wear
All of these gemstones are ideal for everyday wear because they score highly on the Mohs Hardness Scale. They range from 6-9 (only a diamond is a 10). They’re durable and scratch-resistant.
Dumortierite
Dumortierite is known as the “blue denim stone”. It’s believed to be a stone of self-reliance and discipline. It has also been credited for promoting insight and aiding memory. They’re formed in metamorphic rocks that are aluminum-rich in high temperatures. Some of the stones will have large specks of orange or gold.
Dumortierite is a 7 on the Mohs Hardness Scale, so it’s perfect for everyday wear. It’s fairly scratch-resistant and very durable. It’s best worn as a necklace or bracelet, but you can also wear it as a gemstone ring.
Hawks Eye
The Hawks Eye stone is also known as the Blue Tiger Eye or Falcon’s Eye due to its blue-gray to blue-green opaque coloring. It’s a type of fibrous quartz that aids in reducing stress, increasing calm, and easing anxiety. It’s used for eliminating negative and restrictive thought patterns. Some use it to relieve depression as well.
You can wear this stone on a daily basis if you want to relieve tension, have a mysterious glow, meditate to gain insights into metaphysical secrets, and more. It’s a fantastic stone to put into your Third Chakra to make you more aware of everyday activities. Since it’s a 6.5-7 on the Mohs Hardness Scale, it’s great for necklaces and bracelets.
Blue Jadeite
Blue Jadeite is a symbol of peace and serenity. It’s used to calm and restore the body and is very spiritual. It comes in a variety of colors such as mid-blue and pale bluish-green. Some people even use it to temper emotional upheaval and restore equilibrium. It’s a gorgeous stone with a lot of spiritual meaning.
If you find yourself in constant angry situations, you can wear the blue jadeite every day to help resolve disputes that may come from family dynamics, work, and everyday life. It can also be used as a professional support stone for doctors, nurses, veterinarians, and all other healers. Being a 6.5-7 on the hardness scale makes it a durable stone to wear all day either around your neck or wrist.
Sapphirine
A sapphirine gemstone is extremely rare. There are only small gems faceted for collectors. It’s known for its blue color, but it can be found in a red-orange variety. As far as I can tell, there’s no spiritual meaning behind it and it’s not used in any type of chakra practice.
Sapphire
Blue sapphire is one of the most beautiful gemstones on the planet and the birthstone for September. It is a stone of mental focus and order as well as psychic awareness and inner vision. It has been used with the throat chakra to communicate visions to others. Additionally, sapphires have always been associated with royalty, prophecy, and power.
Sapphire can be worn every single day whether you use it for healing or just like to wear it. It’s a durable stone that measures a 9 on the Mohs Hardness Scale, so it’s extremely scratch-resistant and durable. I like them in a ring setting more as opposed to a necklace setting.
Tourmaline (Indicolite and Paraba)
Tourmaline is a beautiful stone with many meanings. The light blue version of tourmaline is indicolite. If you’re using it as a healing crystal, it will bring you open, clear, and honest communication. When it shimmers, it’s similar to the flow of water. It also scores a 7-7-5 on the hardness scale.
Paraiba tourmaline on the other hand is an extremely rare gemstone that you won’t be using for chakra. It’s so rare due to its neon blue coloring and scores a 7-7.5 on the hardness scale. Since it’s so rare, you may not be able to get one and I honestly wouldn’t wear it at all if it’s worth so much.
Aquamarine
Aquamarine is a symbol of happiness, hope, and everlasting youth. Aquamarine was thought to protect men at sea and make sailors fearless and safe from the rough open waters. Accordion to ancient lore, it’s the treasure of the mermaids.
It’s the birthstone for March and has a hardness of 7.5-8. This is similar to an emerald, but it’s durable and scratch-resistant. I love aquamarine stones because they seem to sparkle more than others. They can be a gorgeous light blue, blue-green, or pale-green color that goes with just about any outfit you could imagine.
Spinel
Spinel has been used in jewelry since ancient times. It was often called corundum since they are often located in the same mines. They can look strikingly similar to rubies and sapphires but were less valuable. However, in their natural form, they are rare and beautiful.
Spinel shares the August birthstone month with peridot and sardonyx. The most valuable spinel colors are bright red, cobalt blue, and vivid pink and orange. The pale lavender is more affordable, but they all are 7.5-8 on the hardness scale, making them perfect for everyday wear.
Turquoise
Turquoise is a greenish-blue stone that can be semitranslucent to opaque. Sometimes it’s mottled and has dark splotches. It represents wisdom, tranquility, protection, good fortune, and hope. The ancient people believed that it had a profound power to protect. In ancient cultures, it was a symbol of wealth and opulence.
According to Native Americans, whoever wore the stone was protected from harm when fighting battles and riding animals. Even though turquoise stones only rank a 5-6 on the hardness scale, it’s still a durable gemstone that can be worn best as a ring or necklace. It also shares the birthstone month of December with tanzanite and zircon.
Blue Diamond
A blue diamond is a regular diamond with blue coloring that hasn’t been treated or enhanced to get its color. One of the most famous blue diamonds is the Hope Diamond which weighs 45.52 carats. Blue diamonds are a symbol of faith and trust. They are said to help protect against misunderstandings and unnecessary arguments.
Blue diamonds are among the rarest with violet, pink, and red stones. It can be difficult to tell the difference between a sapphire and a blue diamond. The only true way to tell the difference is to have it examined by a gemologist. Blue diamonds are a 10 on the Mohs scale, so they’re great for everyday wear, but I don’t suggest it since they’re so valuable and expensive.
Chalcedony
Chalcedony is a cryptocrystalline variety of quartz. There are many varieties, but the main colors are blue, gray, and white, but blue is often the most common to wear. It symbolizes stability and balance and is named the speakers stone. It’s said that public speakers, orators, lawyers, and politicians wear this stone to help bring diplomacy to the tip of their tongues.
Furthermore, chalcedony has been used to ease pain in your neck, clear up throat issues, and upper respiratory and sinus infections. It can also ease some discomforts of OCD, Tourettes, and Asperger’s as well. Since it ranks 6.5-7 on the Mohs hardness scale, it can certainly be worn on a daily basis as a ring, necklace, or even a nice pair of earrings.
Jeremejevite
Jeremejevite is a rare mineral of the borate class and is hard, making it perfect for jewelry use. However, since it’s so rare, it’s not often seen in the gem trade. It can be confused with gems of similar color. It can be colorless, yellowish, and light blue to slightly purplish-blue.
This stone has no cleavage, it’s not brittle, and is so rare that there’s virtually no data from goldsmiths or setters. This stone, however, can be polished without an issue and shows no reaction to heat. Due to its rarity, it’s almost impossible to replace it if it were to get damaged. This is why even though it’s suitable for jewelry, I don’t suggest wearing it every day. It’s better off being worn on special occasions.
Blue Gemstones For Occasional Wear
Blue gemstones for occasional wear are either so rare they should be on display, or they have a hardness of 6 and below. Anything under a 6 is more than likely to scratch and break easily.
Larimar
This is a very calming stone that resembles the ocean. It belongs to the silicate emineral family and is a rare blue variety of the mineral pectolite. It’s popular in sterling silver jewelry and is said to have the power to make you feel confident about yourself and takes care of your chakra health. If you’re stressed, wearing larimar jewelry and having faith can heal.
Larimar also has the ability to help cure phobias and disorders related to excessive anger and fear. If you want to get the maximum advantage from this gemstone, keep it directly in contact with your body. Since it only has a hardness of 4.5-5, it’s only suitable for occasional wear since it can be easily scratched and broken.
Benitoite
Benitoite is an extremely rare mineral that is well-known for being the official gemstone of California. Because it’s so rare, gemstones and mineral specimens of benitoite are expensive. It’s rarely seen in jewelry or gem and mineral collections. It has a very similar appearance to sapphire due to its blue color and pleochroism.
This beautiful gemstone is known for the joyful and positive energies that they give off. They work closely with a person’s third eye chakra to help stimulate untapped levels of a person’s consciousness. It has remarkable implications for health, relationships, and the spirit. However, since it’s only a 6 on the Mohs hardness scale and rare, it’s not suitable for everyday wear, only occasional wear.
Labradorite
Labradorite is a feldspar mineral with labradorescence, which is the meaning behind its name. It has a pearly sheen and some specimens even have a schiller effect. It’s known to convey courage and mysticism. It teaches people how to bring life-giving energy to all areas of the soul, from the body to the mind.
It’s known for helping with the respiratory system, helping with healthy digestion, and clearing anxiety. It’s a beloved stone to use in jewelry. Wearing it is one of the best ways to make use of its potent and powerful healing properties. It ranks 6-6.5 on the Mohs scale, making it great for occasional wear.
Sodalite
Sodalite is known for stimulating the mind and consciousness to create enhanced intuition, creativity, and powers of analysis and observation. It’s a gorgeous royal blue silicate mineral with white streaks of calcite. They only have a hardness of 5.5-6, so they aren’t meant for everyday wear, only occasional.
They are easily scratched due to their relatively low hardness. Other popular jewelry stones, such as quartz and topaz, will scratch them as well as household dust. You should always store sodalite jewelry separately from other pieces to avoid contact scratches. You can clean the gems with a soft brush only with mild detergent and warm water.
Sillimanite
Sillimanite is a rare and exquisite gemstone and is often referred to as Fibrolite. It is a grayish-blue prismatic crystal but can be found in multiple hues including blue, green, brown, gray, white, and yellow. It has a hardness of 6.5-7.5, making it ideal for occasional or even everyday wear. It’s beautiful when set in sterling silver and worn as a ring or necklace.
It has famous healing powers and the ability to bring joy, peace, and prosperity to those who wear it. Even though it can be associated with all the chakras, it’s especially connected with the heart chakra. It can bring prosperity and wealth to your life in many different ways. In addition to this, the stone is useful for you if you have indigestion or suffer from other stomach issues.
Shattuckite
Shattuckite is a copper silicate hydroxide mineral that forms in fibers, masses, and acicular crystal. It usually forms near malachite, chrysocolla, turquoise, and ajoite. Its colors range from a light sky blue to dark, deep blue. It only has a hardness of 3.5, so it can be easily damaged. It’s best if worn occasionally and kept separately from other jewelry and dust that can scratch it.
Shattuckite has intense healing properties. It’s a gemstone of intuition, mediumship, and psychic abilities. It’s a great stone to wear for people who are talking in front of an audience or is in some line of work with a lot of public speaking. It pairs well with sodalite when you want to increase communication skills.
Tanzanite
Tanzanite gems are said to represent the heart and intellect combined with intuition and purity. They are a symbol of dignity, truth, judgment, and longevity. It’s said that they have the ability to stimulate the throat chakra, third eye chakra, and the crown chakra. This means that they can activate psychic abilities and facilitate communication with higher spiritual dimensions.
The only issue with tanzanite gemstones is that they’re rarer than diamonds. The chances of finding one naturally occurring are slim and their global supply is said to be depleted in the next 25 years. Tanzanite is a great investment gemstone and beautiful when put into jewelry. Since it only has a hardness of 6-6.5 so shouldn’t be worn all of the time.
Moonstone
Moonstone is a gorgeous, feminine stone that has a positive impact on hormone balance. It has been said to help with physical conditions like psoriasis and hair loss. It has also been used to ease pain during childbirth. It has a pearly sheen or schiller effect. This is where light reflects off the two types of feldspar. The two minerals grow together in alternating layers.
Since moonstone only has a 6-6.5 hardness level, it should only be worn occassionally. However, it’s vulnerable to scratching and chipping if accidentallyhit against a hard surface. Wearing a moonstone ring during sports isn’t recommended, but you could get away with wearing a moonstone necklace more often.
Lolite
Blue gemstones such as lolite are highly sought after because they often represent royalty, wisdom and loyalty. Most people choose to purchase sapphires, but they’re expensive. Lolite can be a great substitution for a sapphire as it’s relatively cheaper. Lolite stones also carry spiritual meaning and healing properties, so they have their own unique value.
Lolite stones can vary in color, ranging from light blue to deeper blue with a purplish tinge. The deeper the color, the more valuable the lolite is. Fortunately, lolite is easy to find, but finding fine lolite stones weighing over 5 carats is rare. The average price of lolite per carat is between $100-$150. Even though its hardness is 7-7.5, its toughness is only fair, so it should only be worn occasionally.
Apatite
Apatite is a naturally occurring gemstone, not relatively known to the public, but cherished by collectors. Apatite can come in many forms and colors, but the most common gem variety is a translucent to transparent semiprecious stone that is increasing in the jewelry trade. Unfortunately, it’s not good for jewelry as it only has a hardness of 5 at best.
However, rather than being worn as jewelry, it can be used for healing. It’s said that apatite is to be a stone of truth, helping to reveal hidden knowledge and hidden talents. It has also been used to promote healing on physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual levels.
Grandidierite
Not only is grandidierite a gemstone, it’s also one of the rarest minerals on earth. They’re blue in color, but the more iron they contain, the bluer they appear. They’ve also been known to display strong trichroic pleochroism, meaning they have the ability to reflect three colors depending on the angle they’re viewed from.
Since grandidierite is such a rare stone, the prices can be quite high. The finest quality grandidierite stones can cost upwards of $20,000 per carat. It does have a hardness of 7.5, which would make it resistant to scratching, making it ideal for jewelry use. But since it’s so rare, it’s not recommended to wear all of the time.
Blue Akoya Pearls
There’s not much to say about blue Akoya pearls. They typically range from 2mm to 11mm in diameter. They’re soft, only coming in at a 2.5-4.5 on the Mohs scale. Because they’re so soft, they’re easily damaged, so they’re not meant to be worn all of the time, only occasionally. Additionally, since they’re so rare, they’re also extremely expensive for a pearl.
Azurite
Azurite is a deep dark blue-colored mineral found all around the globe. It has been used in jewelry and other items since ancient times. Today, it can be used as a pigment or dye. Unfortunately, it’s a soft mineral, only a 3.5-4 on the Mohs scale. This is why it’s not for everyday wear. It can be easily scratched and chipped.
It will lose the intensity of its color over time if exposed to light, heat, and open air. When you aren’t wearing it, you should store it in a sealed container away from hard stones that could scratch it. This will help keep its brilliant color.
Kyanite
Kyanite is an aluminum silicate material that is difficult to facet due to its perfect cleavage and variable hardness. It can be cut on various axes, leaving different hardnesses. When cut on its long axis, it has a hardness of 4-4.5, but when cut perpendicular to its c-axis, it has a hardness of 6-7.5.
Since they have such a variable hardness, a kyanite ring should have protective settings. They’re much better for earrings, pendants, and brooches. For those interested in healing, kyanite treats the urogenital system and aids in disorders of the throat, brain, and muscular system.
Zircon
Zircon is one of the oldest known gemstones in existence. It comes in a variety of colors such as blue, brown, green, orange, pink, red, white, and yellow. It has a high refractive index and strong dispersion, which means it’s actively brilliant. Even though it does have a rating of 7.5 on the hardness scale, it’s not durable. Long exposure to UV lighting can change its color and sharp knocks can damage it.
Zircon makes for a great piece of jewelry if you plan to wear it on occasion. Crystal healers use zircon to alleviate physical ailments. Other beneficial properties include fever reduction, soothing pains, relieving stomach and lung issues, and pains from menstruation. It also helps people deal with loss and grief. Fortunately, it’s relatively affordable and readily available.
Lapis Lazuli
Lapis Lazuli is one of the most sought-after stones in use since the beginning of time. It’s said to be the symbol of royalty and honor, gods and power, spirit and vision. It’s also one of the oldest spiritual stones used by healers, priests, and royalty. It represents universal truth. You’ll find that a lot of them will be a deep blue with gold streaks or specks throughout it. It’s truly stunning.
Unfortunately, since it only has a hardness of 5-5.5, it’s not recommended for daily wear as it can easily chip and break. It’s almost too soft to use in a ring, cuff links, or bracelets. It’s better when worn as a necklace, but not all of the time. It’s especially fragile when the top of the stone is raised above the top of the setting or bezel.
Topaz
Blue topaz is a symbol of loyalty and righteousness. It’s also associated with true love, which is clear-sighted, trust, relationships, and communication. It’s a relatively inexpensive gemstone that also serves as the birthstone of December. There are several shades of topaz, but blue has become the most preferred, swoon-worthy type.
Natural blue topaz is very rare to find and is usually pale in color. Because of this, it’s heat treated and irradiated to produce the more vibrant hues we’re used to seeing. There are three types of vibrant topaz including London Blue Topaz, Swiss Blue Topaz, and Sky Blue Topaz. Even though blue topaz is an 8 on the Mohs scale, it’s susceptible to scratches and fractures because of its perfect cleavage, which is why it shouldn’t be worn all of the time.
Blue Opal
The blue opal is a common form of opal. They are sourced in Peru, Oregon, and Indonesia. They are said to represent hope and innocence. It is the official birthstone of October and comes in common and precious varieties. Precious opals show play-of-color, which common opals don’t. Regular opals have a value of roughly $1 per carat.
They also offer a lot of spiritual healing. They are powerful emotional healing stones, offering serenity and wisdom. It corresponds with the throat chakra and can help balance or open it. It’s best when worn as a necklace since it only has a 5-6.5 hardness. It can chip or fracture easily if in a ring setting and worn all of the time, which is why it should only be worn occasionally.
Lazulite
Lazulite is a stunning dark blue gemstone. The mineral is widely accessible, but the gem-quality rough is limited. These gemstones are prized by collectors, but can also be faceted with care or cut into cabochons for jewelry. It only has a hardness of 5.5-6, making it mediocre for jewelry use, which is why it should only be worn on occasion.
It can sometimes be mistaken for azurite, turquoise, and blue tourmaline. Facet gems will range from 0.5-2 carats, anything larger will be extremely rare. Lazulites are fragile, so when they come in contact with harder stones such as garnet, quartz, topaz, etc., they can get scratched. If used in a ring, it should have a protective setting.
Blue Collectors Gemstones
Some gemstones are so rare that they aren’t usually used in jewelry. These may be hard to find, extremely delicate, or just plain expensive.
Smithsonite
Smithsonite gemstones, although magnificent, are very rare. It exhibits a semi-transparent bluish-green color with unmatched luster. These crystals have been used to help heal the reproductive organs and balance the endocrine system. It can boost energy and the immune system. These are only minerals. Finding a smithsonite faceted gemstone is extremely rare.
These gems are too soft to be used in jewelry, however, they make fantastic collector’s pieces. They only have a hardness of 4.5 and a specific gravity of 4.4 to 4.5. The price per carat for a faceted smithsonite gemstone can range from a few hundred dollars to a few thousand dollars per carat.
Hemimorphite
The unique thing about a hemimorphite stone is that each end of the stone is a different shape. It’s common to be found in the upper layers of zinc deposits, but not common to be seen as a faceted gemstone. A faceted gemstone has a hardness of 4.5-5 and a specific gravity of 3.475. It’s an extremely delicate stone and not often found in jewelry. This is why it’s such a popular collector’s item.
The blue coloring of a hemimorphite is exquisite. It can come in a variety of colors including white, colorless, pale blue, greenish, gray, yellowish, and brown. When used in crystal form, these rocks activate and align the upper four chakras and is a stone known to heal the emotional body, enhance communication abilities, and more.
Scorodite
Faceted scorodite is rare and unusual, which is why collectors love them so much. Unfortunately, it’s just too soft for jewelry use. It only has a score of 3.4-5 on the Mohs hardness scale and imperfect cleavage. This makes them susceptible to scratches and fractures.
This stone can be identified by its blue-green color in daylight and blueish-purple or grayish-blue color in incandescent lighting. There may also be a greenish-white streak in the stone as well. There are currently no known gemstone enhancements for scrodoties. These stones, although beautiful, are expensive, costing thousands per stone.
Cavansite
The cavansite gemstone is relatively rare and unusual. It’s loved by collectors due to its vibrant blue color. It has a vitreous to pearly luster and good cleavage. Cavansite is so rare because only trace amounts are found, making production and excavation limited. This makes it even more sought after and valued.
It’s been called the stone of revelation. It is a stone of spiritual elevation, perseverance, and clarity. Unfortunately, it’s not meant for jewelry since it only has a hardness of 3-4. This makes it only a collector’s item. However, if one were to be brave enough to make jewelry out of it, it probably wouldn’t last long since it can be easily scratched or chipped.
Vivianite
Vivianite is literally so fragile and soft, that any faceted gemstones would be difficult to handle safely as it only registers as a 1.5-2 on the Mohs scale. This also means that they’re impossible to make into jewelry. Gemstone collectors have to handle this stone very delicately to retain its value.
These stones can show gorgeous dark shades of blue and green while displaying intense pleochroism. Depending on which way you view it, stones can show up to three colors including yellowish green, olive-green, blue-green, and indigo.
FAQs
How To Tell White Stone Is Your Birthstone?
Some choose the modern birthstone and some choose the traditional birthstone. Traditional birthstones were just one stone per month, but the more modern birthstone can be one of several. You can find your birthstone on the gem society website. These are the original birthstone colors:

This list can vary if you’re going off of the modern birthstones.
Are Gemstones Different Than Diamonds?
No, gemstones aren’t different than diamonds. Diamonds are considered to be a gemstone since they fall under the same category. Diamonds and gemstones both are naturally formed crystals produced from compound/elements. The one thing that makes a diamond different from other gemstones is that diamonds are formed from a single element.
How Expensive Is The Average Blue Gemstone?
The average blue gemstone can cost anywhere from $100 to upwards of $1,000 or more depending on the 4C’s. One of the cheapest blue gemstones is zircon because it’s readily available and durable. Since all gemstones are different, you can’t really pinpoint an exact price on a gemstone without having it appraised.
What Goes Well With Blue Gemstones?
Blue gemstones will work well with other blue materials, yellow, or black. They are the most beautiful when set in white gold or sterling silver. However, the right stone paired with yellow gold can look stunning. All blues will also work with solid metal pieces.
