Yesterday’s Britt’s Pick, featuring an exquisite peachy brown diamond, has inspired a search for more brown gemstones to soothe the autumn soul.
There’s such a large range of shades of brown, it’s as if the color has its own rainbow. One of earthy tones and neutrals that, while they complement nearly every rich color, deserve a stage all their own.
You can find a brown variation of many gemstones—diamond, sapphire, tourmaline, topaz, quartz—and other stones that occur primarily in shades of brown.
