The citrine, peridot amethyst, and rhodolite garnet shown here are made to be used with the pendant on the previous page and the brooch on the opposite page. With this convertible brooch and pendant set, a wide variety of colored stones can be enjoyed. Convertibility is especially convenient when traveling. Is also allows you to effectively use gemstones purchased as souvenirs or received as gifts.

It is also enjoyable to change gemstones to match the seasons, such as choosing aquamarine or peridot for spring and summer, citrine or rhodolite for autumn, and amethyst for winter. Aquamarine and tanzanite tend to match better with white-colored precious metals, such as platinum and white gold, than with yellow gold.

A variety of gemstone choices are possible. You can choose between different shapes such as pear shapes or heart shapes, or different facet styles such as a checkerboard cut (like the peridot shown) or a buff top. Considerations such as the quality of the outline and the proportions of the stone should be discussed with a professional jeweler.
