Colour in jewellery has always been about more than beauty. It is memory, mood, and meaning captured in stone. This year’s nominated rings prove just how far imagination can take coloured gemstones, transforming them into miniature sculptures of luxury. From peacock grace to gemstone gardens, each design reflects a bold new face of Indian high jewellery.
Peacock in Motion
Charu Jewels crafts a peacock-inspired multi-finger ring that is pure spectacle. Paved in blue sapphires with a pear-shaped sapphire drop, the piece captures both elegance and strength in its form. It flows across the hand like feathers in motion, making it a signature of statement design.
Nature in Full Bloom
Popley Diamond & Gold Plaza turns colour into poetry with its multicolour tourmaline cocktail ring. Shaped like a blooming tree, the ring balances cabochon tourmalines in shades of pink, green, and brown with a dazzling diamond core. It’s not just a piece of jewellery but a celebration of nature itself, crafted to sit on the hand like a story unfolding.
The Shape-Shifting Floral
At Kirtilal Kalidas Jewellers, innovation meets artistry in a transformable floral creation. This spectacular piece shifts from ring to pendant to brooch, with vivid blue and pink gemstones layered into intricate petals. Every configuration reveals a different face of the design, proving that high jewellery can be as versatile as it is breathtaking.
Flight of Sapphire
Khurana Jewellery House presents drama with its sapphire masterpiece. Pavé-set blue sapphires form a sweeping silhouette, from which a diamond bird takes flight. The design feels alive, as if captured mid-movement, and makes the ring as much an art form as an adornment.
A Crown for the Hand
Kalamandir Jewellers reimagines grandeur through a crown-inspired ring that glitters with cabochon sapphires, rubies, emeralds, turquoise and diamonds. The lavish use of colour and layering evokes the magnificence of royal treasures, where each stone feels deliberately placed to command attention.
Why These Rings Matter
Precious coloured gemstones are having a big moment, and these five rings show why. They take jewellery from ornament to identity, from accessory to attitude.
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 one truth: when colour is this intentional, brilliance isn’t just seen, it is felt.
