:upscale()/2018/01/16/106/n/1922564/df52e29e5a5ea7d33a1059.16791854_edit_img_cover_file_44498164_1515793220.jpg)
Jewelry is all about distinguishing your look, whether you're one for dainty trinkets or bold statement pieces. Unlike handbags and shoes, jewelry trends evolve at a slower pace — especially in the fine-jewelry department, where each piece is a major investment.
Recently, gemstone jewelry has come into the spotlight, as designers are incorporating precious and semiprecious stones into everything from necklaces to earrings to rings. And for 2018, the trend is hitting a multicolored stride, with every shade of the rainbow crafted into a singular piece. In other words, rainbow gemstone jewelry is the look du jour.
As these pieces are beaming with color, we can understand how this trend could sound scary to minimalists. But these cheerful pieces come with a delicate aesthetic, appearing at once fun and refined in ring, earring, necklace, and bracelet form — a worthy investment if you're looking to add pizzazz to your jewelry collection. Whether you're one to pile on the jewels or you prefer to pare it back with a single piece or two, get in on 2018's biggest jewelry trend with our edit of rainbow gemstone pieces ahead.
