Diwali 2025: Why Coloured Gemstone Jewellery Trend Is On The Rise

The Diwali season is here giving us all the reasons to sparkle. From Diwali outfit ideas, to buying jewellery ahead of Dhanteras, and luxury Diwali gifting, the festive fervour is high on the high-streets and inside the glistening walls of the showrooms.

As we just count days for Dhanteras, jewellery takes precedence. While gold jewellery is considered for investment purposes and its traditional look, coloured gemstone jewellery is becoming a trend this season as it’s lightweight, comes in bright shades, and speaks a more intimate and expressive language in contrast to traditional gold and silver jewellery. They’re personal, symbolic, and full of story and can go with casual as well as couture ensembles.

Moreover, it’s fronted by celebrities at red carpet events and this year’s Diwali bashes. From Aishwarya Rai Bachchan turning heads with a spectacular layered necklace crafted with 500 carats of Mozambique rubies and uncut diamonds at Cannes 2025, Janhvi Kapoor dazzling in  Jadau and gemstone jewellery from Golecha’s Jewels for Homebound’s Cannes screening, to Gauri Khan looking like a vision in Ruby Rush necklace from Zoya at Manish Malhotra’s Diwali bash last night, celebrity-style is all in for coloured-gemstone this season. With its rise luxury jewellery brands are also tapping on the trend bringing coloured-gemstone jewellery collections. Recently, Isharya made some noise with its bold, and playful gemstone pieces for its festive campaign cheekily promising to make you “show up dripping in Botox gemstones this Diwali.”

So be it pulling off an opulent look for a Diwali card party, gifting minimalist jewellery on Dhanteras, or simply taking celebrity-style inspiration for Diwali soirees, try these coloured gemstone jewellery pieces for the festive season.
