Green is the Color of the Year

Green is the Color of the Year
Author: 
Rachel Haneschlager
Trends in fine jewelry often shift with the seasons, and 2025 is all about the rich green hue of emeralds. Known for their striking vibrancy and storied symbolism, emeralds bring both luxury and meaning to any collection. As this year’s leading color, emerald jewelry offers a refined way to bring fresh energy to your style, whether through statement rings, elegant earrings, or heirloom-worthy necklaces.

A Gemstone with Centuries of Meaning
Emeralds have long been celebrated as one of the four traditional precious gemstones, alongside diamonds, sapphires, and rubies. Their vibrant green color originates from trace elements like chromium and vanadium, resulting in the unmistakable depth that has captivated jewelry lovers for generations. Historically, emeralds were associated with growth, renewal, and prosperity. A symbolism that still resonates today.

Throughout history, emeralds have adorned royalty and luminaries, prized not just for their beauty but for the sense of harmony they are believed to inspire. This enduring appeal makes them a natural choice for modern jewelry collections, particularly in a year where green has taken the spotlight in both fashion and accessories.


Why Emerald Jewelry is a 2025 Must-Have


The versatility of emeralds allows them to transition seamlessly from casual wear to formal occasions. The vibrant green pairs beautifully with both yellow gold, white gold, and even platinum, giving wearers a range of design options.

Emerald Rings
Emerald rings remain a timeless statement piece. A classic emerald-cut ring emphasizes the stone’s clarity and linear facets, while oval or round cuts soften the look for those seeking a more traditional design. Hannoush Jewelers emerald rings include both minimalist solitaires and intricate halo settings, making it easy to find a style that reflects your personality.

Emerald Necklaces


For those who want a striking centerpiece, emerald necklaces bring a rich pop of color and timeless elegance to the neckline. From delicate pendants to bold statement designs, these pieces instantly enhance both everyday outfits and formal attire. Pairing an emerald necklace with matching earrings or bracelets creates a coordinated, refined look perfect for special occasions or bridal ensembles.



Caring for Emerald Jewelry
While emeralds are durable, they require mindful care to preserve their beauty. To keep them looking their best:

Avoid harsh chemicals: Perfumes and cleaning agents can dull the stone’s surface or damage settings.


Store properly: Keep pieces in a soft pouch or jewelry box to prevent scratches.


Clean gently: Use a soft cloth and mild soap with water—avoid ultrasonic cleaners, which can damage the gem.


Schedule annual inspections: Professional jewelers can check for loose prongs or wear over time.



Styling Ideas for Emerald Jewelry
Emerald jewelry offers endless versatility for different occasions:

Casual Wear: A simple emerald pendant adds color to everyday outfits without overpowering them.


Professional Settings: Emerald studs or understated rings add a confident, refined touch to office attire.


Special Events: Statement emerald cocktail rings or chandelier earrings provide drama and glamour for formal occasions.


Bridal Jewelry: Emeralds serve as meaningful accents for wedding-day looks, symbolizing new beginnings and enduring love.


Add Emerald to Your Collection
Green’s rise as the color of the year highlights a shift toward timeless yet bold pieces in fine jewelry. Emeralds, with their deep symbolism and undeniable beauty, embody this trend perfectly. From rings to earrings and beyond, these gemstones enhance both modern and classic styles alike.

Celebrate the color of the year with a piece you’ll treasure for decades. Browse emerald jewelry at Hannoush and find the perfect design to mark life’s most meaningful moments.
