Top up: Gorgeous gemstone recommendations to wear each color-psychology-proven hue.
Wassily Kandinsky, a famed Russian artist, once said, “Color is a power that directly influences the soul.” We couldn’t agree more! In fact, we’d even go so far as to say that the easiest way to bring out the best in you is by adding more color to your life. And what better way to do that than with some colored gemstone jewelry?
At Angara, we truly believe that color changes everything for the better. It brings joy, drama and sometimes, even glints of revelation into our lives. It heightens our emotions and brightens up what would otherwise be a bleached existence.
Need concrete evidence? Well, color psychology, a branch of science that studies how different hues influence one’s emotional responses, has established several associations between colors and the increase in various positive emotions.
Based on these associations, we present to you our favorite hues that are sure to elevate your mood as well as your outfits. Plus, several glittering gems that’ll inspire you to wear these colors; so the next time you want to change your ‘feeling blue’ face to an ‘in the pink’ face, you’ll know exactly what to do. *wink*
1) Stay Carefree With Purple
Picture this: You wake up one morning – there’s no work to be done, no deadlines to meet and most importantly, you have the freedom to do what you want.
Sounds pretty great huh?
While we can’t wave our wands and make your troubles disappear, we can show you the best way to adopt a peaceful mindset. Enter: The purple amethyst. Because of its royal history, this stone is commonly associated with power and by extension, the freedom to live your life the way you want to. So, the next time you feel trapped, flaunt this gem along with your fav sweater or going-out dress and watch the weight lift off your shoulders as you show off your fun side.
2) Step Into Your Feminine Era With Pink
If being comfortable in your skin feels like a dreamy superpower to you, we suggest you start adding pink to your wardrobe. While there’s no denying that you’ll have to put in the work to achieve it, wearing a ton of pink can definitely help as the color is known for its nurturing vibe and can project feelings of kindness and love toward oneself as well as others, according to pink color psychology. Plus, wearing pink guarantees fabulous and on-trend looks, so why hesitate?
We’ve got just the gemstones that’ll give you the perfect pink-me-up when you need it the most. Our pink sapphire rings for her, for instance, are loved by our female buyers.

Quick styling tip: For an ultra-feminine look, flaunt a pair of pink sapphire studs with your favorite baby pink dress.
3) Hop Onto the Greener Side of Life
Ever noticed how going for a hike in a forest or a walk in the park when you’re feeling stressed can almost immediately make you feel calm and grounded? Coincidence…? Well, not really!
Green color psychology says that spending time in nature can actually give you some much-needed R&R. But if you don’t have time to go out and touch the grass right now, then getting your dose of greens in the form of a green sapphire ring or a sunny peridot bracelet should do the trick! Dressed in the hues of nature, these stunners are bound to make you feel calm and gorgeous all in one go.
