Muse and Gemfields Debut Earring Collection at Couture
The ongoing collaboration between the fine jewelry showroom and colored gemstone miner is bringing 65 pairs of earrings from over 20 brands to the market.

Las Vegas--Fine jewelry showroom Muse and colored gemstone miner Gemfields showcased a robust new earring collection at the Couture show, which concluded Monday.
The range is comprised of more than 65 pairs of earrings from over 20 jewelry designers, many of whom are represented by Muse, featuring Gemfields’ Zambian emeralds and Mozambican rubies.
The showroom has partnered with Gemfields since 2014, debuting a new collection annually at the Couture show. This year’s iteration underscores the popularity of earrings in the market, from statement pieces to smaller mix-and-match styles that can be worn across multiple piercings.
“I’m particularly excited about this year’s collaboration, as earrings are having such a moment right now,” said Muse founder Jennifer Shanker. “With the added beauty and appeal of Gemfields responsibly sourced rubies and emeralds, it’s a truly winning combination.”
Gemfields CEO Sean Gilbertson added, “We are delighted to support this exceptional group of emerging design talent through the Gemfields x Muse collaboration. The variety of styles and designers wonderfully demonstrates the versatility of these colored gemstones, making it fun and exciting to build a responsibly sourced gemstone collection for everyday wear.”
The earring collaboration features styles designed by: Ana Khouri, Andrea Fohrman, Begüm Khan, Buddha Mama, Elena Votsi, Federica Rettore, GFG Jewellery, Holly Dyment, Julls—a Brazilian fine jewelry showroom with which Muse recently partnered—Luis Morais, Maria Canale, Michelle Fantaci, Nak Armstrong, Nancy Newberg, Nikos Koulis, Polly Wales, Silvia Furmanovich, Sophie Bille Brahe, Stephanie Windsor, Sylva & Cie and Tara Hirshberg.
Styles from the collection are slated to be sold at Bergdorf Goodman, Broken English, Goop, Jeffrey, Marissa Collections, Moda Operandi, Neiman Marcus and Shopbop, as well as on Muse’s new e-commerce site launched earlier this year.
