Color Splash: Popular Gemstones to Look for When You Shop for Jewelry

Your choice of jewelry says as much about you as your choice of clothing or hairstyle. Every piece of jewelry you wear is a reflection of your unique personality, and shopping at a consignment store lets you find those one-of-a-kind pieces you need to complete your look. It’s easy to add a splash of color to your jewelry with different gemstones. Keep reading to learn about a few of the most popular gemstones in jewelry today.

Emerald

Diamonds may be a girl’s best friend, but emeralds are very popular right now with the fashion elite. The stunning green of an emerald looks great in a ring, as a pendant, or in earrings. Emeralds symbolize wealth, happiness, and hope, and look equally at home in a platinum or gold setting.

Blue Sapphire

Did you know that the only stone more durable than a blue sapphire is a diamond? That makes this gorgeous, radiant stone perfect for everyday wear. It symbolizes truth and sincerity, and is often associated with royalty. Keep an eye out at your local consignment store for this coveted gemstone.

Pearls

Pearls are the only gemstone created by a living creature. The highest quality pearls come from oysters, but pearls are grown in other mollusks such as mussels and clams, too. Pearls are versatile and come in nearly every color in the rainbow, from classic milky white to red to black. Natural pearls are rarer and therefore more expensive than cultured pearls, but both are a beautiful addition to any jewelry collection.

Opals

Opal is the birthstone for the month of October, but is worn by all different people because of its unique and fascinating appearance. Opals have a phosphorescent sheen and can contain many different colors in one specimen. This gemstone is rather delicate, so be sure to ask your consignment store staff member about caring for opals.

These are some of the most popular gemstones today, and you can find them at Home Consignment Center of Southern California.

Popular Fabric Choices to Consider for Your New Sofa

Fabric plays a pivotal role in how well your new furniture blends into your existing décor. Before buying a new couch, consider its purpose. Will your sofa become the new centerpiece in your living room or a decorative addition to your spare den? If you plan to sit, recline, or eat on it on a daily basis, your sofa material must be able to handle the inevitable spills and stains. Durable fabrics like leather and microfiber hold up well against frequent use, while more delicate materials like silk or linen are better for show pieces that won’t experience everyday wear. You should also keep in mind your family’s needs. Do you have children or pets? If so, purchasing a sofa with stain-resistant fabric will help to ensure its longevity.

The Home Consignment Center has six Southern California locations for all your home furniture needs. Our sofa selections have something to offer every interior décor style and need. To find out more about our furniture choices, call our Yorba Linda store at (714) 637-1992 or visit our website.
