The story: Although they are not attached to a particular era, tutti frutti style jewelry pieces gained popularity from the middle of the twentieth century and are characterized by a mixture of at least three different colored gemstones for a harmonious and joyful multicolored effect. We most often distinguish tutti frutti in bright primary colors and often including the 4 traditional precious stones (red of ruby, blue of sapphire, green of emerald and white of diamond) and tutti frutti pastels, featuring fine stones in colors ranging from yellow to purple through acid green and pink.
