Coloured gemstone bangles and bracelets have always held a special place in Indian jewellery, but this year’s finalists show us just how bold tradition can look when reimagined. From architectural lines to heritage-inspired enamels, these creations prove that colour is the most powerful storyteller of them all.
Fiery Sophistication
Vummidi Bangaru Jewellers crafts a bracelet where deep garnet baguettes are framed with diamond accents, converging at a striking oval centerpiece. The symmetry is modern, yet the richness of colour gives it a timeless gravitas. It’s a jewel that speaks the language of quiet power.
Ruby Bloom
At Neelkanth Jewellers, clusters of vivid rubies unfurl around a floral diamond motif. The meticulous placement of each stone transforms this bracelet into a blooming garden on the wrist, radiating both strength and femininity in equal measure.
The Phoenix’s Flight
Kirtilal Kalidas Jewellers captures movement in stone with a phoenix-inspired design. Rainbow-hued gemstones trace the bird’s wings, while a fiery central gem anchors the piece. It’s dramatic, opulent, and destined for someone unafraid of centre stage.
Ocean’s Edge
Khurana Jewellery House sculpts waves into jewellery with this avant-garde blue sapphire bracelet. Its undulating design and diamond-tipped crests bring the ocean to life, turning a natural form into wearable art.
Heritage Mosaic
A Jewels by Anmol leans into tradition with a mosaic-like bangle encrusted with turquoise, rubies, and polki. The enamelwork recalls vintage royal adornments, while its bold proportions make it just as compelling for today’s collector.
Colour That Commands
Coloured gemstone bangles and bracelets aren’t just ornaments, they are statements of identity and imagination.
Celebrating two decades of excellence, the Retail Jeweller India Awards 2025 are recognised as India’s most prestigious platform for jewellery design, honouring innovation, artistry and craftsmanship at the highest level.
These nominated pieces prove one thing: when colour meets craft at its finest, tradition doesn’t just live on — it evolves.
