Coloured gemstone jewellery has always been at the centre of fine jewellery design. From sapphires and rubies in royal collections to vivid emeralds and tourmalines in modern pieces, colour has long been what gives jewellery its identity.
The difference between a good gemstone and a great one comes down to colour quality, saturation, clarity and how the cut brings the stone to life once set.
At Argent + Asher, gemstone jewellery is approached through design first. Each stone is chosen for vivid colour, strong saturation, and for how it interacts with gold and natural light in real life, not just how it appears online.
Coloured Gemstones
Fine jewellery designed around exceptional gemstones and unforgettable colour.
If you’re comparing stones or trying to understand what actually matters, these guides will give you clarity quickly.
Understanding Gemstones Before You Choose
Before choosing a gemstone, it helps to understand how stones are classified, how value is judged, and why terms like “semi-precious” don’t always reflect quality.
Colour first, then design because the way a stone is set determines how it actually looks when worn.
How We Choose Gemstones at Argent + Asher
Not all gemstones translate well from loose stone to finished jewellery. Colour needs to hold in natural light, and the setting needs to support the stone rather than compete with it, that’s where the difference between a nice stone and a great piece really shows.
Individual & colour specific - bespoke is where it becomes possible.
Create a Bespoke Gemstone Piece
Bespoke gemstone jewellery allows you to choose not just the stone, but the exact tone, scale, and overall feel of the piece. This is where gemstones become far more interesting, especially when working with stones like tourmaline or bi-colour gems that offer something completely unique.
At Argent + Asher, gemstones are sourced specifically for each design, allowing you to create a piece that feels intentional and personal rather than chosen from a standard selection.
The best gemstone isn’t the most expensive, it’s the one that works for how you’ll wear it.
How to Choose the Right Gemstone Jewellery
The best gemstone isn’t the most expensive, it’s the one that works for how you’ll wear it.
- For everyday wear: choose durability and secure settings
- For colour and identity: prioritise tone and contrast
- For statement pieces: look for presence, not just size
- For something unique: consider mixing gemstones or choosing less traditional stones
The most important factor is how the gemstone looks once set, not how it appears on its own.
