Appleby Jewellers takes great pride in sourcing only the most exquisite and rare gemstones, chosen for their extraordinary colour and natural beauty. Each piece is crafted in-house at our Dublin workshop, blending expert gem selection with master jewellery making for truly exceptional creations.
"I absolutely love my ring from Appleby Jewellers, created to mark the birth of my daughter. The team were so helpful in guiding me to the perfect design, and the craftsmanship is exceptional. It’s not just a piece of jewellery it’s a keepsake I’ll treasure forever and one day pass on to her. Every time I look at it, it reminds me of such a special moment in our lives."
A coloured gemstone is more than a striking centrepiece, it’s a reflection of individuality, meaning, and timeless style. Choosing a coloured gemstone means embracing a one-of-a-kind treasure, no two stones are ever exactly alike. Their natural hues are shaped over millions of years, creating tones and depths that can never be replicated.
Whether chosen for its meaning, its rarity, or simply for the way it catches the light, a coloured gemstone transforms a piece of jewellery into something deeply personal — a work of art that celebrates your story in vivid colour.
We travel the world to source sapphires, emeralds, rubies, aquamarines, and other exceptional stones directly from trusted partners, many of whom we have worked with for generations. From the deep, velvety blue of a Ceylon sapphire to the vivid green of a Colombian emerald, every stone in our collection tells a unique story shaped over millions of years.
Our leading gemologist, Gerry Appleby, brings over six decades of expertise and is widely regarded as having one of the most trusted and discerning eyes in Europe.
This is just a glimpse of our exquisite coloured gemstone collection. We can create a bespoke ring that’s entirely your vision, to celebrate the moments, people, and stories that matter most to you. All our styles can be created in either 18ct yellow gold, blush rose gold or platinum to suit your personal preference.
From the very first sketch to the final polish, our master craftsmen will guide you through every step, shaping a one-of-a-kind ring made with love in the heart of Dublin, a heirloom piece to hold your memories for a lifetime.
