Herein, expert advice shall be provided on how to choose just the right ring for yourself, as investing in a ring should promise joy over many years to come.

Current Trends in Colored Gemstone Rings for 2024

Bold Colors Take Center Stage

One of the most exciting trends we're seeing so far at Rosec Jewels is how coloured gemstone rings are bleeding toward more vivid and bold hues. The days of subtle, pastel shades just being the trend have passed. In 2024, it's all about intense, attention-grabbing colours that make a statement.

Deep blues, reminiscent of the midnight sky, are particularly in vogue. Our sapphire rings, natural and lab-grown, are flying off the shelves. People are drawn to the rich, velvety tones that seem to hold entire universes within them.

Rich greens are also having their moment. Each emerald is saturated with rich green tones, very much trendy again. These stones symbolize growth and renewal and are ideal for those who would like to make a bold, yet elegant statement in jewellery.

Fiery reds have not been left behind in this trend towards vibrancy. Ruby rings, with their aroused and energetic hue, are thus fast becoming sought after. Whether set in yellow gold for that wholesome classic look or in white gold for that more modern feel, these surely will be head-turners.

Unique Cuts: Reshaping Expectations

While classic cuts like Round and Princess will always be relevant, 2024 is surely seeing high demand for cuts that are anything but ordinary. Here at Rosec Jewels, we offer an array of these fashionable cuts to our sensible clientele.

The cushion cut is gaining more favour because of its soft, pillow-like appearance but gives a whole new meaning to showing off the colour and brilliance of the gemstones. Cushion cut greatly enhances the complexion of sapphires and rubies to show their beauty as naturally as possible.

Another trend that seems to have taken off is pear-shaped gemstones. In a teardrop cut, so very elegant and elongating on the finger, asymmetry lends a quirky beauty to this cut that is perfect for those wanting something a little different.

Rose cuts also boast a flat bottom and a domed top with triangular facets, and they, too, are seeing a resurgence. This cut is a vintage-inspired cut that gives subtle sparkle and a large surface area, ideal for showing the colour of such gemstones as emeralds and sapphires.

Mixed Metal Settings: A Modern Twist

One of the hottest coloured gemstone ring trends for 2024 is mixed metal settings. This innovative approach combines disparate precious metals in a way that creates truly one-of-a-kind, show-stopping pieces.

At Rosec Jewels, we are embracing this trend in creating rings with yellow, white, and rose gold in unique and original ways: taking a sapphire set in white gold to bring out the cool tones of the stone while the band has accents of rose gold in warm contrast.

Yet the trend goes beyond aesthetic appeal as it also has practical real reasons. Blending metals can make your rings exceptionally strong and resilient; on top of that, versatile pieces allow you to wear them with any given metal colour of jewellery.

Custom and Personalized Designs: Making It Yours

The major trend we are experiencing in 2024 would have to be the increase in requirements for custom or personalized coloured gemstone rings. Modern consumers crave pieces that reflect their style and personal account.

At Rosec Jewels, we pride ourselves on special bespoke design services to meet this increasing need. Our skilled craftsmen work in consultation with customers to create items that are unique and precisely capture the vision of every customer. From incorporating birthstones and engraving special dates to creating a unique setting, we are committed to bringing our customers' dreams into reality.

Popular Colored Gemstones for 2024

Sapphire: A Rainbow of Possibilities

We have long believed that sapphires are among the favourites in the coloured world of gemstones and, therefore, include them as an exciting choice for 2024. The really exciting thing about sapphires is their extraordinary colour palette. While blue sapphires remain the most popular colour among this type of gemstone, we are happily seeing increased interest in other hues.

Here at Rosec Jewels, we have to offer sapphires in the following colours:

    • Classic Blue: The eternal favourite, ranging from pale sky blue to deep midnight shades.

    • Pink: Softer, more romantic shades give a different feel from the traditional engagement rings.

    • Yellow: Bright, sunny tones that express warmth and cheer.

    • Green: The rare and highly desired sapphires represent a special alternative to emeralds.

    • White: Translucent and resplendent, these sapphires are highly suitable for those who love the look and brilliance of diamonds but at the same time seek something a little bit different.

We source all our sapphires, natural and lab-grown, very carefully to ensure quality. Particularly, our lab-created sapphires have become super popular because of their excellent colour consistency and eco-friendliness.

Ruby: The Stone of Passion

Interest in rubies has recently been revived and for very obvious reasons: the symbolic meanings of passion, love, and courage carried by these fiery red gemstones make them an excellent choice for anyone wanting to make a bold statement.

In Rosec Jewels, we set rubies into modern designs that are the call of modern taste. Popular styles include:

    • Halo settings, which surround the ruby with diamonds, add brilliance and fire to it.

    • Three-stone rings featuring rubies combined with diamonds for a different look or other coloured gemstones.

    • Vintage-inspired designs showcasing the rubies in elaborate, lyrical mountings.

We have natural and lab-grown rubies available on the market to suit our customers' tastes and budgets.

Emerald: The Return of Green

The emeralds are back in a big way for 2024, with rich green colours that evoke feelings of growth, renewal, and harmony. Here at Rosec Jewels, we're trying to just keep up with the demand for emerald rings, while noting a particular interest taken by both unique engagement rings and statement pieces.

We offer emeralds in various settings, including:

    • Classic solitaire designs that let the emerald beauty be the star.

    • The Art Deco-inspired settings are also matching with the geometric cut of the emerald.

    • EAST-WEST SETTINGS: Emerald-cut stones set in a modern horizontal orientation.

We carefully select our emeralds for colour and clarity so that each stone possesses that deep green colour desired by every emerald lover.

Black Diamonds: A Modern Edge

While diamonds are not typically considered coloured gemstones, black diamonds will also be the trend for 2024 because such a diamond will add an uncommon and hip appeal. Here at Rosec Jewels, we're putting these mysterious stones into modern designs that appeal to people who don't want ordinary jewellery.

Black diamonds work beautifully in:

    • Minimalist settings that showcase their sleek, modern appearance.

    • Designs with mixed metals where the dark stone produces a beautiful contrast.

    • Unconventional engagement rings for couples with uncommon tastes.

Topaz and Amethyst: Affordable Luxury

Both topaz and amethyst strike a good balance between being beautiful and valuable for customers who are in the market for coloured gemstone rings. If there was any doubt that these gemstones would fall from favour anytime soon, the interest in them for their more vivid colours was on the rise at Rosec Jewels.

The clear, bright colour of blue topaz makes it the real favourite of lovers of aquamarine who don't want to spend that much money on it. We have a range of shades, from sky blue to deeper London blue.

Amethyst shines in deep purple shades, ideal for those wanting to have the royal touch without the pretentious price of royalty. We will be embracing amethysts in classic and modern designs, more so in conjunction with diamond accents that add a bit of sparkle.

Lab-Grown Gemstones: The Sustainable Choice

Eating into society's ever-rising awareness of taking care of the environment is the demand for this lab-made gemstone. Rosec Jewels is proud to boast an array of selections including sapphires, rubies, and emeralds in the lab-grown categories.

The advantages of lab-grown gemstones include that:

    • Consistent in color and clarity

    • Less expensive than natural gemstones

    • Ethical sourcing, Reduced environmental impact

For many of our customers, this is very important because they can choose larger, brighter-colored stones and still stay within their budget.

Styles of Colored Gemstone Rings

Halo Settings: Enhancing Brilliance

The halo setting remains one of the most popular coloured gemstone ring settings in 2024. Here at Rosec Jewels, we are creating some stunning halo designs that beautify the centrepiece, adding extra sparkle and perceived size.

Some of our favourite halo designs include:

  • Classic round halos surround the centre stone with a circle of diamonds.

  • Cushion-cut centre stones with square halos hold a more retro look.

  • Double halos create an even more dramatic effect.

The halo setting works particularly well with coloured gemstones of more sombre hues, like sapphires and rubies, because the surrounding diamonds contrast beautifully and tend to elongate the appearance of the centre stone.

Vintage-Inspired Designs: Timeless Elegance

In 2024, vintage and antique-inspired designs will be taken to the next level. We design here at Rosec Jewels where elements from various eras imagine their fusion in their unique and most timeless manner.

Some common popular vintage-inspired elements include:

  • Filigree detailing on the band or setting

  • Milgrain edges, which are textured and interesting

  • Art Deco-inspired geometric shapes

And these designs pair up splendidly with coloured gemstones, elicit their unique colours, and bring out magical cuts, where other contemporary settings just can't do it.

Stackable Rings: Mix and Match

In 2024, the trend of stackable rings is going to continue increasingly, and in fashion, coloured gemstones are playing a very important role. We at Rosec Jewels create sets of stackable rings that allow wearers to intermix different types of gemstones and metals.

Some popular stacking combinations are the following:

  • Alternating colored gemstones with diamond bands

  • Graduating sizes of the same gemstone in various cuts

  • The mix of different metallic colours makes it look eclectic.

That's a great trend; customers can change their look simply by combining rings in variations.

Statement Pieces: Bold and Beautiful

Statement rings featuring large coloured gemstones remain the go-to choice for those wanting to make that real impact in 2024. Here at Rosec Jewels, we are creating bold, eye-catching designs that show off the beauty of larger gemstones.

Some of the statement ring styles we have include:

  • Cocktail rings featuring large, vibrant-colored gemstones cut into unusual shapes.

  • Multiple stone designs with different coloured gemstones combined.

  • Asymmetrical designs with a very modern, artistic touch.

They're statement pieces that could work best for events or special occasions or add colour to daily outfits.

How to Choose the Right Colored Gemstone Ring

Choosing the right coloured gemstone ring is a personal journey. Here at Rosec Jewels, we're committed to guiding you through finding the perfect ring that best fits your style, lifestyle, and budget. The following are several things to consider:

Consider Your Style

Your ring is a matter of your taste. Consider the following:

  • Would you rather have statement pieces, bold, or more delicate, subtle designs?

  • What are the colours you usually wear? Pick a gemstone that will look good with your current wardrobe.

  • Are you more into modern or vintage?

Gemstone Durability

Since various stones are differently hard, some of them are more adapted to being worn daily than others. For everyday wear, harder gemstones like sapphires operate on a 9 on the Mohs scale, or ruby could fit into this category, as rubies operate on a 9. Emeralds and topaz are great choices but rate an 8 on the hardness test and will require more care in handling.

Budget Considerations

At Rosec Jewels, we offer a variety of options that suit different budgets:

  • Consider lab-grown gemstones, as they may offer a more affordable option for such large, high-quality stones.

  • Consider alternative gemstones: for example, blue topaz is much less expensive than sapphire.

  • Keep in mind that the price can be highly affected by the setting and any other diamonds that come with it.
