Gemstone Necklaces: Add a Pop of Colour to Your Jewellery Box

We all have the classics in our jewellery box: a plain gold chain, a platinum necklace, or a classic gold bracelet. Adding a genuine gemstone necklace to the mix can only take your style further. 

It can be extravagant yet straightforward, and with the range of colours and settings available, it can add just the right amount of flair to your look. 

At Kumari, we see gemstone necklaces as accents that can take your ensemble to the next level; bold, sharp, colourful, depending on what you’re after. 

Do Gemstone Necklaces Match Everything? (And Should They?)

The short answer: not always. The better answer: they don’t need to.

Gemstone necklaces are made to bring contrast, highlight textures, and shift the tone of an outfit. A ruby choker against a neutral blouse, a green emerald drop paired with a black saree, and even subtle stones like aquamarine or moonstone can break up an all-metal stack and add dimension without trying too hard.

If you’ve ever hesitated to wear a stylistically raw gemstone necklace because you weren’t sure it “goes” with what you’re wearing, flip the script. Let the necklace lead the look.

If you’re still not sure how to style it? You can start with simpler necklines and let one gemstone do the work. Or layer fine chains around a single-colour pendant to ease into the mood. With gemstone jewellery, contrast is often the point.

Types of Real Gemstone Necklaces

Each gemstone brings something different to the table. Whether its colour, symbolism, or presence. Here are some of the most sought-after styles that let the stone take centre stage.

1. Ruby Gemstone Necklaces
   

   Ruby is intensity in its most wearable form. These necklaces bring energy and elegance, whether worn as a solo piece or layered with gold. Ideal for evening wear, special occasions, or when you want your jewellery to do the talking.TheRuby-licious Statement Necklace does just that, with zero apologies.

2. Emerald Gemstone Necklaces
   

   With their unmistakable green hue, emerald necklaces are known for adding freshness and richness to any outfit. They look especially striking against black, white, and jewel tones, making them a versatile addition to any jewellery box. See it in action with theEmerald Forever Statement Necklace.

3. Sapphire Gemstone Necklaces
   

   Sapphire necklaces carry a quiet confidence. The deep blues and vibrant pinks work equally well in delicate pendant settings or structured statement collars. They’re timeless, regal, and surprisingly easy to style with both Indian and Western wear. TheSapphire Sizzle Statement Necklace proves exactly that.

4. Multi-Stone Gemstone Necklaces
   

   Why settle for one when you can wear many? Multi-stone necklaces combine the mood, meaning, and colour of several gemstones in one bold expression. Perfect for those who like their jewellery to be as layered as they are. TheRainbow Confetti Gemstone Statement Necklace is made for that mood.

Gemstone Necklaces by Metal Type

The metal you pair with your gemstone changes the whole tone of the necklace. Here's how to choose combinations that feel right for you.

1. Gold Gemstone Necklaces
   

   Yellow gold brings warmth and contrast to deep-toned stones like garnet, emerald, and ruby. These pieces feel rich, grounded, and classically Indian perfect for festive wear or dressing up a neutral outfit. TheRegal Ruby Statement Necklace is a classic example of gold and colour in harmony.

2. Diamond-Studded Gemstone Necklaces
   

   Adding diamonds to a gemstone necklace enhances the structure and light without overpowering the stone itself. These designs are ideal for formal settings, bridal events, or gifting something that feels extra refined. TheBond of Love Diamond Statement Necklace brings that balance beautifully.

3. Rose Gold & White Gold Gemstone Necklaces

Rose gold brings a softness that complements pinks, greens, and pastel-toned gemstones. White gold, on the other hand, creates a clean, crisp contrast that works well with blue sapphires, aquamarines, and even darker stones like black onyx. TheSerene Sapphire Pendant Necklace sits at that intersection of softness and clarity.

The Best Gemstone Necklaces for Every Occasion 

Not all gemstone necklaces are meant for grand celebrations. Some are designed to be worn on the go, every single day.

1. Everyday Wear Gemstone Necklaces
   

   Think minimal settings, subtle sparkle, and colours that don’t feel too loud. Stones like aquamarine, moonstone, and peridot are great for daily wear. They pair easily with everything and don’t overpower your look. We love theMystical Gaze Pendant Necklace for exactly that reason.

2. Bridal & Festive Jewellery Sets
   

   Whether you’re the bride or just showing up like one, festive gemstone necklaces set the tone. Rubies, emeralds, and multi-stone layouts work beautifully with lehengas, saris, or Indo-western silhouettes. Pair with matching gemstone earrings or go bold with a layered look. Try theSunburst Gemstone Statement Necklace for that instant celebration energy.

3. Office Wear Gemstone Pendants
   

   You don’t need to leave your personality at home when dressing for work. Sleek gemstone pendants in neutral tones or structured settings can add polish without feeling too precious. TheSparkling Aura Pendant Necklace is a go-to for confident minimalism.

4. Gifting Gemstone Necklaces
   

   Gemstones carry meaning, which makes them perfect for gifts. Whether you’re choosing by birthstone, colour, or pure instinct, a gemstone necklace is a personal yet timeless way to mark a celebration. TheEternal Brilliance Gemstone Statement Necklace is a brilliant place to start.

Layered & Statement Gemstone Necklace Styles

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Which gemstones are best for necklaces?
   

   It depends on what you’re looking for. Ruby, emerald, and sapphire are classics that never go out of style. For something softer, try aquamarine, pearl, or moonstone. Multi-stone options are great if you want variety.

2. How do I choose a gemstone necklace for my birth month?
   

   You can refer to a standard birthstone chart, but we recommend choosing based on what you’re drawn to. Sometimes the best stone isn’t the one assigned, it's the one that feels like you.

3. Are gemstone necklaces suitable for daily wear?
   

   Yes, as long as you choose durable stones and minimal designs. For everyday use, look for settings that keep the stone secure and styles that won’t catch on clothing.

4. How do I care for and clean gemstone necklaces?
   

   Use a soft cloth to wipe your piece after each wear. Avoid harsh chemicals and store your gemstone necklaces separately to prevent scratches. For deep cleans, mild soap and warm water work well on most stones.

5. Can I customise a gemstone necklace with my choice of stone?
   

   Currently, we offer a selection of ready-to-ship pieces, but customisation may be possible for select styles. Reach out to our support team, and we’ll guide you through your options.
