Out of the nine jewellers who I spoke to, over half told me that coloured stones and gems are going to be big business in 2021. Emma Clarkson Webb says she’s seeing a “real movement towards coloured gemstones—from salt and pepper diamonds to tsavorites and tourmalines.”
Similarly, Lucy Crowther, the founder of Minka Jewels, says she’s seen a rise in the popularity of coloured pieces. “I love chunky gold rings with a flash of colour, and this coming year, I think we will be seeing a lot more of them,” she says.
Phoebe Coleman also said that she expects to see an increase in people being more adventurous with their stone choices, “opting for grey sapphires rather than royal blue for example,” she tells me.
