03 Jul Red, White, and Bling

Holidays are the opportune time to embellish your outfit in a specific manner, and investing in the right jewelry can immortalize a particular staple look. After all, clear-cut color schemes make for convenient outfit decisions and easy color coordination between friends and family. Jewelry itself might not immediately come to mind when you think of the Fourth of July, but with the right sparkling pieces you’ll be ready to rival even the brightest of fireworks.

Ruby Red

Fun fact: the Bible mentions rubies on four different occasions, all in reference to  wisdom. And what better way to exemplify your own style wisdom than to wear rubies on Independence Day? Rubies are not only a beautiful red statement piece to complete your July Fourth ensemble, but they’re also the most well-known birthstone for the month of July. Rubies of considerable size are harder to find and more expensive than most other gemstones, but a small statement necklace or pair of earrings inlaid with this gorgeous stone is all you’ll really need.

Pearl White

Not only are pearls classic and easy to dress up or down for any occasion, but they’ll add the perfect pop of white against the red-and-blue-decked celebrations you attend. Particularly if you’re attending a more conservative gathering, pearls are an easy way to convey pride in both your country and your appearance. Patriotism never goes out of style, and neither does the class associated with pearls.

Sapphire Blue

One of the hardest stones on the Mohs scale, sapphire is the perfect jewelry accessory if your Fourth of July celebration will include firecrackers, fireworks, or a night involving various physical activities. A staple and a statement, sapphire will be complementary to any outfit and any activity you have planned.

If Independence Day plans snuck up on you, there’s no need to panic and jump ship. Exercise your freedom of style by stopping in to Hemming Jewelers and picking out the perfect piece for you!
