The clothes: So long as each shade is truly a jewel tone, this pairing should work every time; when in doubt, look for pieces in luxury materials, like silk or velvet. Since the colors are already quite regal, fancy fabric will enhance the effect.
The accessories: I like the way black that makes the crimson/purple combo a little more causal, but any sort of metallic will also work--especially for black-tie occasions. Tans, creams and "nature-y" hues in general, however, should be avoided.
