ALL ABOUT
GREEN & RED
GEMSTONES !
Trapped in the wintry bluster at the end of the calendar , ancient Celtic tribes would celebrate the winter solstice by decorating their homes with red and evergreen holly plants to add a little color to their gloomy surroundings .
The tradition stuck and now green and red are forever linked to this most special time of year . But there may be more to the green and red staying power than meets the eye . Speaking of the eye , red and green are found at the opposite end of the color wheel , which makes them complementary colors . When these two opposites are shown together , they create an effect called simultaneous contrast which immediately catches the attention of the eye .
