Green is taking the jewelry world by storm in 2025, crowned as the color of the year for its vibrant, nature-inspired allure. At Jae's Jewelers, we're seeing a surge in demand for green gemstones like emeralds and peridot, celebrated for their unique beauty and eco-conscious appeal. Paired with lab-grown diamonds, these stones are redefining elegance for modern jewelry lovers. Here's why these gems are stealing the spotlight and how you can style them for maximum impact.

Why Green Gemstones Are Trending

Green symbolizes renewal, growth, and sustainability—values resonating deeply with today's mindful consumers. According to industry insights, colored gemstones now account for a growing share of the jewelry market, with green hues leading the charge. Their popularity stems from their versatility, from bold statement pieces to subtle everyday accents, and their alignment with eco-friendly trends. At Jae's Jewelers, our curated collections highlight two standout green gems: emeralds and peridot.

Emeralds: Timeless Elegance with a Modern Twist

Emeralds, especially those from Colombia and Zambia, are prized for their rich green hues and unique "jardin" inclusions—natural imperfections that tell a story of their formation deep within the Earth. These inclusions make each emerald one-of-a-kind, perfect for those seeking individuality. In 2025, emeralds are a top choice for engagement rings and statement necklaces, often paired with lab-grown diamonds for a sustainable sparkle.

Our Colombian Emerald Pendant features a vibrant 2-carat emerald surrounded by a halo of lab-grown diamonds, offering ethical luxury at a fraction of the cost of traditional diamond jewelry. The contrast of emerald's deep green with the diamonds' brilliance creates a look that's both timeless and on-trend.

Peridot: Affordable Vibrancy for Everyday Wear

For those seeking a more budget-friendly option, peridot is the gem of the moment. Known for its bright, lime-green glow, peridot is formed in volcanic environments, giving it a lively, natural energy. Its affordability—often 80% less than emeralds—makes it ideal for everyday pieces like earrings and stackable rings. Peridot's versatility shines in Jae's Peridot Drop Earrings, accented with lab-grown diamonds for a touch of sophistication.

Styling Green Gemstones with Lab-Grown Diamonds

The magic of green gemstones lies in their ability to elevate any look. Here are some styling tips to make the most of your Jae's Jewelers pieces:

  • Bridal Brilliance: Choose an emerald engagement ring with lab-grown diamond side stones for a sustainable yet stunning centerpiece. The green hue adds a unique twist to traditional bridal jewelry.

  • Everyday Chic: Layer peridot stud earrings with a lab-grown diamond tennis bracelet for a fresh, modern look that transitions from office to evening.

  • Bold Statements: Pair an emerald cocktail ring with a neutral outfit to let the gem's rich color pop, perfect for special occasions or festive gatherings.
