STORIES - Emerging Gemstone Trends: The Stones to Watch
Diamonds remain a classic, but over the past few seasons we've seen a clear shift: more and more people are choosing coloured gemstones that add character, symbolism, and a personal story to their jewels. At BY JACKY®, we've rounded up the gemstone trends that are emerging now, the ones you'll be seeing more and more of in the coming year.
Sapphire: the versatile classic, reinvented
Sapphire was long known mainly for the deep blue of royal engagement rings, but the stone is now on the rise in surprising shades: soft pink, yellow, pastel tones, and even unusual green and purple variations. This versatility makes sapphire a favourite for anyone looking for a unique engagement ring or statement piece without choosing diamond.
Morganite: soft, romantic, and increasingly popular
This pale pink gemstone, a member of the beryl family, is quickly gaining ground in engagement rings and fine colliers. Morganite pairs effortlessly with rose gold and has a subtle, romantic glow that fits perfectly with the current preference for soft, feminine tones.
Opal: the stone with its own personality
Opal was once an underrated gemstone, but is now valued precisely for its unique, unpredictable play of colour. No two opals are alike, making the stone perfect for anyone who loves jewels with a story and a touch of mystique.
Tourmaline: colourful and symbolic
Tourmaline comes in a remarkably wide colour palette, from deep green to vivid pink, and is increasingly used in custom-made designs. The stone is symbolically linked to protection and balance, which makes it especially appealing to anyone seeking a meaningful piece.
Lab-grown diamonds: conscious and stylish
Alongside natural coloured stones, we're seeing growing demand for lab-grown diamonds. They have the same brilliance and hardness as natural diamonds, but are increasingly chosen for sustainability reasons and a more attractive price point, without compromising on quality.
Why this trend is emerging now
This shift towards coloured, meaningful stones fits a broader movement: jewels are becoming increasingly personal. People want a piece that tells their own story, rather than a standard choice everyone wears. An unusual gemstone, carefully chosen, instantly makes a ring or collier recognisable as something made just for you.
