Now and Later: 9 Sunny Yellow Jewels for Summer and Fall

In the heat of summer, with the fierce sun beating down and humidity so thick you could drink the air with a straw, there’s something about the color yellow that satiates the need for refreshment. That may seem odd, since yellow is the color of the sun and technically categorized as “warm” where hues are concerned, but it’s light, crisp, and energizing. The sunny color is almost unexpected in jewelry. Sure, you have your yellow diamonds (which obviously, we love), but when a bright yellow beryl or sapphire becomes the star of any jewelry design, its power is mesmerizing. Why stock up on these now, when summer is almost (okay, nearly two-thirds) over? Well, the color is exceptionally appropriate for summer, but transitions beautifully into the fall. Paired with autumn’s browns, burgundies and blacks, your clients won’t be able to resist the resulting pop of color. Proof: 9 yellow (but anything but mellow) designs positively worth coveting, below.
