The Top 6 Coloured Gemstone Earrings Recognised as the Nation’s Best in Design and Craft 

Colour, when cut into gemstones and set into earrings, does more than shine. It sings. These six nominees turn emeralds, rubies, amethysts and diamonds into wearable theatre, each pair built to make you lean in, click through and try them on for real. 

Ruby in Full Bloom 

In a rush of deep rubies and sparkling diamonds, Khurana Jewellery House crafts petal-like panels paved in gemstones, striped with diamond trails and finished with pear-shaped accents. These are not earrings you wear quietly. They are couture-level studs designed to set the stage ablaze. 

Starburst in Motion 

A crystalline explosion of pink and violet defines Punjabi Saraf Jewellers’ starburst earrings. Shard-like diamond accents shoot across the vivid pink, framing a violet core that glows with addictive brilliance. Geometry this daring doesn’t just light up a look, it commands it. 

Wings of Green 

Mahesh Notandass Jewellers reimagines wings mid-flight with emeralds and rose-cut diamonds mapped across a butterfly silhouette. Bold yet graceful, these earrings channel red-carpet confidence with pavé precision and wings that feel like they might flutter if you looked twice. 

Transformative Florals 

Indriya by Aditya Birla Group brings clever engineering to gemstone design with earrings that shift personalities. Worn as floral studs, they shine in pink and diamond. Clip on the leafy emerald drops and the piece transforms

Garden of Amethyst 

A luminous emerald heart anchors D. P. Abhushan Limited’s blooming design, surrounded by amethyst petals and diamond accents in a grand floral burst. At first glance, it feels vintage. Look closer, and you’ll see modern craftsmanship sharpen every petal.

Emerald Arc 

With its sleek, ear-hugging curve paved in green gemstones, Batukbhai Jewellers offers a contemporary take on gemstone cuffs. Traced with diamonds, the arc hugs the ear in a silhouette that is both modern and opulent. Jewellery engineered to make strangers look twice. 

Precious coloured gemstones are having a big moment, and these six designs show why. They take earrings from accessory to attitude, from nice-to-have to need-to-try. 

Celebrating two decades of excellence, the Retail Jeweller India Awards 2025 are recognised as India’s most prestigious platform for jewellery design, honouring innovation, artistry and craftsmanship at the highest level. 

These nominated pieces prove a simple truth. When colour is this intentional, brilliance isn’t just seen, it is felt.
