Why Vibrant Gemstones Are Taking Over the Jewellery Industry
Remember the candy necklaces of your teenage years? Yes, we’re referring to the bold gemstone necklaces that showed up on the spring ’25 catwalks at Zimmermann and Ralph Lauren and have graced the necks of countless editors, buyers, and influencers over the past few months. Additionally, gem-studded hand ornaments appeared in Dior’s latest high jewellery collection, and the Parisian house has also designed a series of inventive Rose Des Vents pieces, including rings connected to bracelets with strands running across the hand with vibrant gemstones. Gemstone jewellery trends in 2025 are countless. There are a million different ways you can wear your gemstones this season – from beaded styles to stones encrusted in matte gold. They are today’s playful yet grown-up equivalent, which can go with everything from a white T-shirt to a little black dress. They have the power to elevate any outfit with a pop of colour. To switch things up, explore a wider range of shades; we’ve noticed particular interest in turquoise and bold red.
One of the main reasons why vibrant gemstones are taking over the jewellery world is their power to evoke emotions and joy. For example, a yellow emerald evokes happiness, while an amethyst evokes tranquillity. In India, these gemstones are also believed to have healing properties and magical abilities, as each gemstone is associated with a different planet and sun sign. So, jewellery with gemstones can make for a meaningful addition to your jewellery wardrobe.
Gemstone Jewellery Trends 2025
The gemstone jewellery trends in 2025 are blowing up. They’re making waves all over Instagram and Pinterest. Whether it is red carpets this award season or in celebrity paparazzi pictures, gemstone jewellery is having its moment under the sun. Bright gemstones like aquamarine, lapis lazuli, amethyst, malachite and garnets are quickly gaining popularity. They’re vibrant and possess the ability to instantly elevate any look. Another one of the biggest gemstone jewellery trends in 2025 is statement pieces. Think bold necklaces, rings and earrings featuring dramatic gemstones in unexpected designs. Some come pre-layered, while others are big enough to make a statement by themselves. Some of our style editor’s personal favourites for this trend are the Emerald Drop Libra Earrings, Riviere Emerald Pearl Necklace, Opulent Gemstone Studs, Fiery Festive Ruby Danglers and Banger Multi Crystal Cross Necklace. Lastly, vintage-inspired gemstone jewels are making a comeback, and we’re here for it. Isharya is known for its Art Deco-inspired style, so there’s no dearth of jewels in our collection when it comes to this trend. Jewels, especially from our Saanjh collection, offer the perfect mix of gemstone elegance and vintage charm. We highly recommend checking out Emerald Flame Studs, Mirror Layered Necklace, Gemstones Charm Necklace, Ruby Rosette Open Statement Ring, Emerald Dreams Statement Cuff and Ruby Oval Hinge Bangle.
Popular gemstones for jewellery
Emeralds, rubies and sapphires have always been popular gemstones for jewellery. But for 2025, the jewellery industry is going beyond the classics. Case in point: Unexpected stones like onyx, obsidian, turquoise, garnet, peridot and tanzanite are becoming the new popular gemstones for jewellery. Our latest Spring/Summer 2025 collection called Bling Things has beautifully made use of peridot stones by pairing them with gunmetal and gold finishes. These pieces are the perfect example of how to wear gemstone jewellery this season. Some of our favourite Peridot pieces from this collection are the Seafoam Serenade Danglers, Seafoam Serenade Three-Layered Necklace and Seafoam Serenade Hinge Bangle. To style these popular gemstones for jewellery, take inspiration from stars like Blake Lively, Iris Apfel and Rihanna.
Best gemstone for rings
They say diamonds are a girl’s best friend, and we can all agree that a diamond ring means something. It holds a special significance in every girl’s life. But this season, the trends urge us to look beyond this glamorous stone. In India, people wear gemstone rings for many different reasons. Some wear it for their spiritual significance, while others wear it for fashion purposes. So, it’s difficult to define what would make for the best gemstone for rings. If you’re wearing it for spiritual reasons, you might want to consider your sun sign and the planet you’re ruled by. If you’re wearing it for style, you might want to figure out your aesthetic. For example, some prefer minimal pieces, while others prefer statement styles. You could even be in between and be inspired by boho chic jewels with gemstones. Swap your emeralds, rubies and sapphire rings for peridot, garnet, and tanzanite rings this season or layer them together for even more impact. More is more is the motto when it comes to gemstone rings this season. You can’t wear just one. The key is to play around with shapes and sizes to create interesting ring stacks. The best gemstone for rings could be any gemstone you want it to be.
Trending coloured gemstones
Several fashion people have been spotted wearing the coolest statement gemstone necklaces, earrings, and bracelets from Mallorca and Copenhagen this season. Although stone-adjacent jewellery was first spotted earlier this year with the overwhelming number of baroque and Keshi pearls during New York Fashion Week, the style came to a head when a plethora of European women was spotted wearing circular, red carnelian bead necklaces all over the beaches of Mallorca. That said, carnelian is not the only trending coloured gemstone that’s having a moment. Stones like topaz, amethyst and black diamonds are also becoming increasingly popular in 2025. This is because women today are more experimental than ever. They’re looking to stand out from the crowd rather than just following each other. Every woman today is in the pursuit of finding their personal style aesthetic, as they should. This means more demand for unique and standout jewels. That’s where gemstone jewellery comes into the picture. It offers endless possibilities to make a statement and build your own signature style. If you’re one of these women, consider investing in jewels with trending-coloured gemstones from Isharya or otherwise.
