Sherin & Narin Spark the GCC’s Colour Revolution
Across the Middle East, a quiet revolution is unfolding—one that sparkles with individuality and breaks free from the bounds of bridal tradition. Coloured stones are having a moment, and it’s not just about trends—it’s about telling your story through your jewellery. Brides aren’t just choosing rings; they’re curating layered love stories, and nowhere is that more evident than in the hands (literally) of sisters Sherin Marwah (@sherinsbeauty) and Narin Ammara (@narins_beauty)
Meet the Muses Behind the Movement
Sherin is more than just a bride—she’s a beauty and lifestyle content creator based in the UAE, with a growing digital presence and effortless sense of style that her audience adores. Often sharing snippets of her home life, skincare routine, and wedding planning journey, she’s become a relatable yet aspirational figure for many women across the region. Her partner, Ossy Marwah, is a well-known creator and filmmaker with a massive global following and a reputation for heartfelt, cinematic proposals. Together, they make a social media power couple, known for their emotional moments and luxe aesthetic.
So when Sherin debuted not one, but two stunning engagement rings—her original, and a dramatic new upgrade—the internet took notice. What made it even more impactful? It wasn’t just a bigger stone or flashier design. It was a personal, meaningful evolution in her jewellery journey—one that reflected her growth, her story, and her bond with Ossy.
Her original ring was a beautifully classic 4-carat oval yellow-gold solitaire, paired with a matching yellow-gold wedding band—elegant, refined, and timeless. But Ossy recently surprised her with a bold new addition: a 5-carat oval intense yellow diamond flanked with tapered baguettes, set once again in glowing yellow gold. This wasn’t a replacement—it was an _enhancement_. Sherin layered it alongside her original engagement ring and wedding band, creating a trio that felt both rich in sentiment and visually stunning.
On the day of the reveal, Sherin’s overall look mirrored the refined simplicity of her jewellery. Her wedding-day styling was soft, elegant, and timeless, finished with accompanying yellow diamond earrings that mirrored the tone of her rings. The effect was cohesive, personal, and utterly luxurious.
Following in Her Bestie’s Footsteps: Narin’s Blue Beauty
Sherin’s yellow diamond upgrade wasn’t just a surprise—it was a subtle nod to her best friend and long-time confidante and sister, Narin (also known online as Narin’s Beauty). A household name in beauty and lifestyle content across the region, Narin boasts millions of followers across platforms and has built an empire around her distinct sense of style, warmth, and relatability. Her engagement—revealed earlier—had already made waves for its bold departure from tradition.
Narin’s now-iconic ring features a pear-shaped Paraíba tourmaline weighing approximately 6.55 carats, framed with a halo of brilliant and pear-shaped white diamonds, mounted in a clean white-gold setting. The vibrant blue-green tone of the tourmaline is not only visually arresting—it carries a magnetic sense of mystery and calm, contrasting beautifully with the classic diamond surround.
Together, these two sisters are setting a new benchmark for proposals across the GCC. Both said yes to coloured stones. Both styled their rings to perfection. And both embraced jewellery as an extension of their identity—not just a tradition to follow.
From Tradition to Transformation
Historically, engagement rings in the Middle East have centred around white diamonds in yellow gold—a reflection of both cultural values and timeless taste. These rings symbolised status, longevity, and tradition. But today’s brides are choosing rings that reflect who _they_ are. Often, that means colour.
Coloured gemstones offer something rare: a chance to stand out while still honouring elegance. Whether it’s the sunny optimism of Sherin’s yellow diamond or the calm, oceanic pull of Narin’s tourmaline, these stones carry personal meaning—and they open the door to bolder styling choices.
There’s also a practical side, coloured stones often allow for greater size or visual presence without the premium of a large white diamond. A 5-carat Paraíba tourmaline or yellow diamond brings drama and distinction—and speaks more loudly of character than conformity.
What’s especially noteworthy is how both women chose to layer and enhance, rather than replace. Sherin’s trio of rings builds a visual love story—each one marking a chapter. Narin’s pear-cut centrepiece stands alone with quiet confidence, but its supporting stones and mount tell their own tale. These aren’t one-size-fits-all designs. They’re deeply personal, considered choices that grow with the wearer.
Setting a New Standard in the GCC
Bridal jewellery houses across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and beyond are paying attention. More clients are coming in asking for coloured centre stones, bespoke cuts, and full ensembles—rings with matching earrings, bands with matching necklaces. The question isn’t just “How many carats?” anymore. It’s “What does this say about me?” and “How does it reflect my story?”
While Sherin and Narin’s stories are uniquely theirs, they’re also universal in the way they’ve captured the region’s imagination. Their choices reflect a generation of women who want more than just sparkle—they want symbolism. Who want more than size—they want style. And who want more than matching trends—they want matching energy with their best friends, their partners, and themselves.
It’s fitting that Sherin’s upgrade came in the glow of Narin’s already-iconic blue stone. In many ways, the two moments complete each other. Sherin and Narin didn’t just twin in aesthetic—they set the tone for a new type of proposal: one rooted in personal meaning, shared inspiration, and visual storytelling.
A Colourful Future Ahead
The Middle East has always had a deep relationship with jewellery—whether passed down, gifted, or chosen with intention. What’s happening now isn’t about rejecting that history. It’s about expanding it. It’s about saying: this is who I am today, and I want my jewellery to reflect that—boldly, vividly, and with love.
Whether you’re drawn to yellow diamonds, tourmalines, emeralds, sapphires or something totally unique, the message is the same: colour is no longer a rebellion—it’s the new rule.
