The story: Although not tied to a particular era, tutti frutti style jewelry pieces gained popularity from the mid-twentieth century onwards and are characterized by a mixture of at least three different colored gemstones for a harmonious and cheerful multicolored effect. The most common are tutti frutti with bright primary colors and often featuring the 4 traditional gemstones (ruby red, sapphire blue, emerald green and diamond white) and pastel tutti frutti, featuring fine stones in colors ranging from yellow to purple to tangy green and pink.
