More My Little Pony than Rainbow Brite

Rainbow bright colors may have taken over jewelry collections the past year for a much-needed energy boost, but you’d be surprised how many compliments pastels can garner. Summer’s end is the perfect time to embrace color’s delicate side. Sure, there are some cool enamel options, but gemstones tell a sweeter story. Soft colors in bold designs are key, and modern takes on classic silhouettes will keep your look fresh.

Emily P. Wheeler’s colorful jewels are at the top of many collectors’ lists, and her one-of-a-kind chubby rings are worthy of moving to the very top. This ring is a romantic’s dream with its soft-hued aquamarine and chalcedony combo.

**Lady Like**

Marie-Hélène de Taillac designs have an equally organic and elegant look. The Paris-based designer loves to use stones in her work because of their broad color palette. “When I choose gems, it is exactly like painting: when together, their colors suddenly come to life." The amethysts on this necklace appear transparent, lending to pastel while still holding its vivid origins.
