The realm of precious gemstones is ruled by a kaleidoscope of vibrant colors. And it’s not just about the hues—it’s about the emotions in the wearer’s heart that matter.
But have you thought about what influences us to adorn ourselves with trendy designs? It’s the celebs from all over the world. Their job may be acting, singing, or flaunting their captivating beauty at drag races, but they’re the true connoisseurs of gemstone jewelry. Whether you swear by the latest trends or hold on to what you love, your choices are inspired by some celebrity design. Don’t believe us? We won’t waste time—let’s ride through celeb glamor and the world of precious gemstones. Enjoy!
Lizzo
The “Pink” songwriter and flute-playing powerhouse Lizzo is known for her whimsical outfits and vibrant shows. Before landing on her precious gemstone glamor, wait! Don’t you think she’s a total rockstar? Her 2025 Met Gala look says it all.
Amid the scorching brilliance of natural diamonds, she chose the ethical way. Lizzo flaunted a 61.30ct pink and white lab-grown diamond bracelet paired with 9.34ct cascade earrings. Dressed in a black and white ensemble and wielding a long cigarette holder, she stole the hearts of her fans.
She proved that lab-made diamonds are the new “It” fashion in town and they go with everything, just like her lyrics: “Goes with everything. Beautiful, from head to toe…It’s pink.” Or lab-grown diamonds!
Troye Sivan
He drives his fans “Wild” with his out-and-about personality and fresh style. At the 2025 Grammys, Sivan redefined scarf fashion, pairing it with a starburst pin sparkling in yellow gold and diamonds.
And if we take our sweet time back to 2021, it wasn’t “Easy” to pull off that Met Gala look, but he made it effortless with a diamond line necklace and an 18K yellow gold diamond ring. In the end, we’re definitely not “Fools” to fall for him!
Sam Smith
“Near, far, wherever you are,” wait, isn’t that Celine Dion’s iconic Titanic ballad? It is. But what does it have to do with Sam Smith? Everything, when he daringly wore a Heart of the Ocean Necklace at the 2024 BBC Proms.
No, he didn’t sing the song. Instead, he gave a glimpse into his debut album In The Lonely Hour and still managed to steal hearts with his blue topaz heart piece.
We’re not stopping raving about Sam Smith. At the 2025 Met Gala, he appeared wearing a polished sterling silver brooch with malachite cabochons, paired with earrings that echoed the brooch’s vivid green hue.
Whether or not he was playing “Fire on Fire” when he made his entrance with Christian Cowan in that chiffon black skirt, together, they were winners!
Kitten Kaboodle
The “Tourmaline warrior Princess” of Canada’s Drag Race on Crave, Kitten Kaboodle, made a sparkling entrance. It was a full-on precious gemstone showcase, and while she didn’t snatch the crown, she proudly took home the Miss Congeniality title.
From her headpiece to her cape to that bodycon dress, Kaboodle strutted in style with “Two in the pink and one in the tourmaline.”
Elton John
British singer, songwriter and pianist Sir Elton John is the most enduringly successful artist of his generation. But his musical prowess isn’t the only thing that turns heads; his magnificent jewels have long been headline-makers.
Back in 1988, he wore a sapphire and diamond Art déco-style clip brooch that later went to auction in 2008.
At the 2020 Golden Globes, Sir Elton sported a bondage ring crafted from old-cut diamonds. In 2013, he flaunted a floral rubellite brooch adorned with diamonds and pink sapphires.
One of his most iconic pieces is the Queen Elizabeth brooch which he wore during his 2012 New York concert. The design features diamonds, sapphires and black onyx, anchored by a central ruby.
And perhaps the most heartwarming of all is his full-diamond set wedding band. Sir Elton and his longtime partner David tied the knot in December 2014, just after same-sex marriage was legalized in the UK. A glittering symbol of enduring love for a truly radiant couple.
Zooey Deschanel
“Who’s that girl? It’s Jess!” Not quite, it’s Zooey Deschanel and her unconventional engagement ring, that’s just as bubbly as she is. The floral-patterned piece, set with purple and pink sapphires, mirrors her whimsical charm.
The reel-life English teacher and Jonathan Scott from Property Brothers got engaged in 2023 in Scotland, where love stories begin. Do we not love their choice? We absolutely do. Especially when Scott selected such a special piece for our beloved “Jessica Day.”
We also adored her look at the 2024 Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Awards, where she rocked her classic bangs, pairing diamond stack bracelets, earrings and a few chunky diamond rings.
Whether in New Girl or 500 Days of Summer, Zooey remains the same quirky girl we adore.
Emeli Sandé
British singer and songwriter Emeli Sandé got engaged in 2022 to her girlfriend, Yoana Karemova.
Her cluster engagement ring features a 3-carat ruby, framed by eleven round diamonds on a glowing yellow gold band.
She shared her joyful news with a heartwarming caption: “I saw yes!” followed by two heart emojis.
Known more for subtle accessories and elegant watches than precious gemstones, Sandé received a dazzling exception, a bling fit for her happily ever after.
Rita Ora
The “For You” singer finally got hitched to New Zealand actor, comedian and film-maker Taika Waititi in 2022.
Both her engagement and wedding rings are absolute bangers. The first? A whopping 10-carat halo emerald ring set on a delicate gold band. Intriguing, right? Her wedding band features a fine row of round diamonds set in 18k white gold, elegant and timeless.
The couple got engaged and tied the knot in the same year. Just like the lyrics from her song “Body on Me:” “No more, no more wasting time.” And the most surprising twist? It was Rita Ora who got down on one knee to propose to Taika. A dazzling moment for a dazzling couple.
Gillian Anderson
Are you whistling the X-Files tune? Because we are. Dana Scully, aka Gillian Anderson, sparkled at the 2023 British Fashion Awards in ruby-red glamor. She wore rhodolite garnet, pink gold, and diamond earrings, along with a bracelet and a ring. Her red dress amplified the glow.
At the 2014 BAFTAs, Anderson, presenting that evening, paired a sapphire and diamond necklace with a blue ensemble.
Then came the 2024 Golden Globes, where she stunned in an ivory strapless gown and a show-stopping necklace featuring a 10.06-carat pear-shaped yellow diamond surrounded by 29.88-carat white diamonds. She completed the look with yellow pear-shaped earrings, a gold and diamond bracelet and a coordinating ring.
Speaking of a complete look, she was the moment on that red carpet. We just missed Mulder by her side and definitely not a certain cannibal doctor (don’t tell Mads Mikkelsen).
Emma Watson
Actress and activist Emma Watson, aka Hermione Granger, is a proud supporter of lab-grown diamonds. At the 2018 Academy Awards, she made a statement with her precious gemstones.
The Harry Potter star flaunted lab-grown diamonds set in recycled gold, along with a recycled gold sapphire cuff and ethically sourced ring and bracelet.
In 2023, Emma continued her commitment to sustainable style with her Oscar party look, completed by a tennis necklace featuring lab-made diamonds.
From battling “He Who Must Not be Named” to championing responsible fashion, she truly lives up to her Hermione Granger legacy. Some credit, of course, goes to J.K. Rowling, but the rest is all Emma.
Billy Porter
American actor and singer Billy Porter won the 2014 Grammy Award for Best Musical Theatre Album. Known for embracing a proud feminine side, Porter’s majestic presence shines across the stage, screen and red carpet.
In the 2021 Cinderella, he played Fab G, the Fabulous Godmother to Camilla Cabello’s Cinderella. Here, he rocked in a mustard-colored gown with a sparkling necklace that stole everyone’s hearts.
Off-screen, at the 2021 Virgin Atlantic Attitude Awards, he paired a pink suit with a pink sapphire and white diamond mesh statement necklace. Speaking of pink power, on that red carpet, he was its living embodiment in glamorous gemstone style.
Trevor Noah
One of the most successful comedians in the world and the 7-year host of the Emmy award-winning The Daily Show, Trevor Noah, is another enthusiast of precious gemstones.
In 2024, Grammy host Noah flaunted some serious bling on stage with his Bird on the Rock brooch, featuring pink sapphire, diamonds and a 54-carat central citrine.
At the 2023 Met Gala, he showcased a diamond brooch set in 18K white gold.
And at the 2025 Grammys, he paired his suit with a high-jewelry starfish brooch adorned with 115 diamonds weighing over 21 carats. Looking sharp and suave, Trevor Noah!
From mimicking the current president to impersonating countless personalities, his witty jokes are unparalleled, just like his jewelry choices.
Final Reflection
Precious gemstones are not just sparklers that adorn you, they speak your unspoken words, making you an emblem of dazzling sophistication. Whether it’s Emma Watson’s ethical elegance or Kaboodle’s tourmaline princess glam, these inspirations become a second self.
