As consumers become more design-conscious and confident in experimenting with gemstones, coloured stones are no longer reserved for special occasions\u2014they are becoming an integral part of everyday jewellery collections.<\/p>\n<p>Leading the charge are emeralds, which continue to be the undisputed favourites. From Zambian and Colombian to Russian origins, demand remains robust across qualities and sizes. Prices begin at around \u00a0\u20b94,000 per carat and can climb beyond \u20b950,000 per carat for exceptional stones. Emerald pairs, particularly in heart shapes for earrings, are witnessing strong demand.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_37703\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-37703\" style=\"width: 940px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-37703 size-full lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Mohar-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"940\" height=\"627\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Mohar-1.jpg 940w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Mohar-1-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Mohar-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Mohar-1-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Mohar-1-225x150.jpg 225w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Mohar-1-900x600.jpg 900w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Mohar-1-20x13.jpg 20w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Mohar-1-144x96.jpg 144w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-37703\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mohar Fine Jewels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cUntreated emeralds continue to perform exceptionally well for us,\u201d says Anil Punjabi of Tahilram Tirthdas Jewellers. \u201cAlongside emeralds, kunzites and pink \u00a0sapphires are seeing tremendous \u00a0interest. Consumers are also gravitating towards softer pastel hues that lend themselves beautifully to contemporary jewellery.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kunzites, priced at around Rs.5,000 per carat for good quality stones, are emerging as an attractive option, while small fancy-shaped pink sapphires are adding a fresh dimension to modern jewellery collections.<\/p>\n<p>For Yash Dhamani of National Facets, whose company cuts nearly 150 varieties of gemstones ranging from Rs. 50 to Rs. 50,000 per carat, India\u2019s coloured gemstone market is entering a defining phase.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cConsumers today are far more educated,\u201d he explains. \u201cEarlier, they would simply ask for a \u2018blue stone\u2019.

Instead, they are looking at coloured gemstones as an essential category within contemporary jewellery. As bridal collections mature beyond traditional emeralds and pink tourmalines, designers are increasingly embracing aquamarines, spessartites and a wider variety of tourmalines, offering consumers distinctive looks at accessible price points.<\/p>\n<p>The evolution extends to gemstone cuts as well. While classic ovals, octagons and pear shapes remain relevant, buyers are increasingly favouring trillion, shield, heart-shaped and other organic fancy cuts, particularly for earrings and pendants.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_37705\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-37705\" style=\"width: 940px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-37705 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AG-Jewels.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"940\" height=\"599\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AG-Jewels.jpg 940w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AG-Jewels-150x96.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AG-Jewels-768x489.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AG-Jewels-450x287.jpg 450w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AG-Jewels-225x143.jpg 225w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AG-Jewels-900x574.jpg 900w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AG-Jewels-20x13.jpg 20w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AG-Jewels-151x96.jpg 151w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-37705\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A G Jewels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Dhamani also notes that jewellery originally developed for the US market by his company has found an even stronger response in India, with domestic sales outpacing international demand fivefold.<\/p>\n<p>At Baid Trading Corporation, Aayush Jain reports brisk business in pastel-hued multi-colour tourmalines, commercial-quality Russian emeralds in fancy shapes, as well as morganites and aquamarines.<\/p>\n<p>He also highlights the enduring appeal of Navratna gemstones, a category that continues to enjoy unwavering demand across generations.<\/p>\n<p>Colour is no longer an accent\u2014 it is the defining language of jewellery.
