Colorful Jewelry at Hamilton Jewelers

Color is where fine jewelry becomes personal. A blue sapphire, a green emerald, or a red ruby says something a white diamond does not, and the best stones are chosen one at a time for saturation and cut. Hamilton has been buying colored gemstones for its own cases since 1912, and the pieces here were made around the stones rather than the other way round. Each stone's origin, treatment, and grading is listed on its product page where available, so you know what you are buying.

The selection includes two-stone rings pairing aquamarine or tanzanite with a diamond, three-stone rings with oval emeralds and rubies, and fashion bands set with pink sapphires or emeralds. Earrings range from emerald studs in platinum to sapphire and diamond drops. There are also emerald pendants and a ruby and diamond line necklace. Most pieces are set in 18k gold or platinum, and many combine the two. They suit a milestone birthday, an anniversary, or a birthstone month when a pendant alone will not do. Rose gold flatters pink sapphire, yellow gold deepens emerald, and platinum keeps a sapphire cool. Matching earrings and pendants exist for several of the rings shown.

Color is best judged in person. See the collection in Princeton or Palm Beach, or book an appointment and we will have pieces ready when you arrive. Gift wrapping is included on every order, and our team can help you choose. If a specific stone is not shown, our team can source it.

Gemstone & Colorful Jewelry FAQ

Which gemstones hold up to daily wear?

Sapphire and ruby are hard enough for everyday rings. Emerald, aquamarine, and tanzanite are better in earrings and pendants or in rings worn with more care.

Can a colored stone be a birthstone gift?

Yes. Sapphire is September, emerald is May, ruby is July, aquamarine is March, and tanzanite is a December stone.

How do I clean gemstone jewelry?

Warm water, mild soap, and a soft brush are safe for most stones. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners for emeralds. Our team can advise on a specific piece.

Can a ring be resized?

Most gemstone rings can be sized at our Princeton workshop. Bands set all the way round are harder to adjust, so ask our team first.
