In 2026, jewelry is in full focus. We’ve already charted the major jewelry trends that will define the year—including everything from dome rings to lariats to leather cords—but one category stands apart: colorful gemstone jewelry. We’re seeing more and more evidence that vibrant jewelry will be one of the key accessories to invest in. The styles are finished with blue sapphire, red rubies, green emeralds, yellow diamonds, and even a mix of varying colorful stones. While one specific stone isn’t winning out, we are seeing a big shift to the addition of color in the world of jewelry.
Brands, including fashion insider favorites Jessica McCormack and Dorsey, have been leaning heavily into colorful stones. Whether paired with a simple white T-shirt or styled with an elegant evening dress for a black tie event, the pieces are more dominant than ever among style insiders. Ahead, shop our edit of the best colorful gemstone jewelry to add to your collection.
