Colorful gemstones—from green emeralds, ruby reds, royal purples, and jewel-toned turquoises just to name a very select few, are a bold and timeless statement piece that belongs in pretty much everyone’s permanent jewelry collection. Whether you prefer to correlate your gem pickings based on your favorites colors, birthstone gems, or like to have one of each on deck, there’s a chic and infinitely timeless gemstone piece to complement anyone’s accessory lineup.

Gemstone earrings are one of the best ways to showcase these dazzling gems, offering a semi-subdued way to wear bolder colors that still stand out, make a statement, and compliment your outfit—- and, without competing with it. From fine jewelry selections to chic, cocktail jewelry pieces, and everything in between, there’s something out there for every taste and budget. Go bright and bold with a dazzling drop earring, or keep it subtle and colorful with modest stud—the options for gemstone earrings are limitless. Ready to add a pair to your own collection?
