Falling into Colored Gemstones - Colors for the 2022-2023 Season

Updated: Jan 12, 2023



Fall Gem Colors for 2022-2023

Designing jewelry can be challenging enough, but trying to keep up with the current color trends in fashion can be daunting! If you're like me, you make what you like and ignore the trends, but this year was a treat because Pantone chose Very Peri as the 2022 color of the year. It's a gorgeous shade of violet, making it a joy to create collections in gemstones like tanzanite, iolite, lavender spinel and amethyst. But what's up for fall? There are so many yummy choices it will make your head spin! Let's take a look at them and see what gems match and how they can be combined in ways that will make stone-shopping so much fun!


Gemstone colors and consumer demand are driven by the color choices set by the Pantone Color Institute, and industries like fashion, interior design and jewelry all follow those guidelines. Fashion colors are the biggest driver in determining what jewelry people will be buying to accessorize their wardrobes.


This fall will be anything but dull!

Along with the vibrant colors shown above, earthy browns and rust will complement olive and sage green. Grays will always be in style, and violet and purple will carry through to 2023, making it so fun to continue using the purple gemstones!


The possibilities are endless, so make a shopping list and be sure to visit Addiction Stone Exchange for new stones!
