Lucky Jewellery for 2026: Fire Horse Energy, Colours & Meaning - A Hong Kong Perspective
Anastasia Gardner
The Year of the Fire Horse begins on 17 February 2026, bringing with it bold, fast-moving energy, ambition and intensity. Fire Horse years are known for independence, passion and momentum - but when the fire runs too hot, balance becomes essential.
In Chinese culture, jewellery isn’t just decorative - it’s symbolic, protective and deeply intentional. Choosing the right gemstones, colours and metals helps channel the Fire Horse’s energy in a way that attracts luck, stability and long-term prosperity.
At Valentina Fine Jewellery, based in Hong Kong, we see this interplay of symbolism and craftsmanship every day - especially as clients become more conscious of meaning, investment value and heirloom design.
Zodiac Luck Snapshot for the Fire Horse Year
Horse, Tiger and Dog are naturally aligned with the Fire Horse and tend to enjoy strong momentum and opportunity in 2026.
Snake and Goat can do well if they pace themselves and avoid overextending.
Monkey and Pig benefit from grounding and steady energy.
Rat, Ox, Rabbit and Rooster may experience a more challenging year and are advised to add calming influences, particularly blue and green stones to balance the intense Fire energy.
Even the luckiest signs can feel the heat of a Fire Horse year, which is why balanced, intentional jewellery is relevant for everyone.
Lucky Jewellery and Gemstone Colours for the Year of the Fire Horse 2026
❤️ Red Gemstones: Passion, Power & Vitality
Red is the purest expression of the Fire element. It enhances confidence, courage and momentum - perfect for a year that rewards bold moves. Lucky red gemstones for 2026 are rubies and red spinels. Rubies in particular are timeless symbols of prosperity and protection, especially when set in solid gold.
💚 Green Gemstones: Growth, Renewal & Balance
Green introduces the Wood element, which feeds Fire in a grounded, sustainable way. It represents growth, opportunity and regeneration - essential for long-term success. Lucky green gemstones are emeralds, jade and tsavorite garnets.
In Hong Kong, jade and jadeite jewellery hold extraordinary cultural significance. For centuries, it has symbolised protection, longevity and good fortune, passed down through generations as a family treasure. Unlike trends that come and go, jade remains deeply woven into Chinese heritage, and today, we see it reinterpreted in modern, bespoke designs that honour tradition while feeling contemporary.
💙 Blue Gemstones: Calm, Clarity & Emotional Balance
Fire Horse years can be exhilarating - but not every zodiac sign finds them naturally lucky. For those experiencing volatility, pressure or emotional intensity in 2026, blue stones are strongly recommended to introduce calm and clarity. Recommended blue gemstones are blue sapphires, Paraiba tourmalines and aquamarines.
At Valentina Fine Jewellery, we’re already seeing blue stones surge in popularity for 2026 jewellery, particularly in engagement rings featuring Paraiba tourmalines as centre stones and toi et moi sapphire and diamond designs.
And of course, blue is not only energetically calming, it’s also one of the most elegant, wearable colours trending in fine jewellery right now.
💛 Yellow Gold in 2026: Beauty, Stability & a Smart Investment
Gold plays a crucial grounding role in Fire Horse years, symbolising wealth, strength and stability.
We work exclusively with solid 18k gold - the ideal balance of purity, durability and longevity for fine jewellery that’s designed to be worn, lived in and passed down and we love to create fun cute pendants that truly reflect your personality and style.
Why 18k Gold Matters in 2026:
- Gold prices were 2,500usd per ounce early 2025 and now have reached 5,000usd per ounce in January 2026 with no signs of slowing down so far.
- Gold continues to be viewed globally as a long-term store of value
- Solid gold jewellery is both wearable wealth and emotional heirloom
Unlike plated or lightweight pieces, solid 18k gold jewellery is made to endure - becoming something to cherish now and pass on later.
Lucky Gemstone & Precious Metal Pairings for 2026
Some of the most harmonious combinations for the Fire Horse year include:
- Ruby + 18k Yellow or Rose Gold - passion, confidence and prosperity
- Emerald or Jade + Yellow Gold - growth, longevity and grounded success
- Aquamarine + Gold - emotional balance with quiet strength
- Blue Sapphire + Gold - clarity, protection and elegance
These pairings work beautifully across rings, pendants, charms and bespoke one-of-a-kind jewellery designs.
Custom Horse Jewellery Made to Order in Hong Kong
The horse symbolises freedom, momentum and victory. For 2026, we can custom-make horse-inspired jewellery on request, including solid gold or carved cameo pendants, charms and brooches.

At Valentina Fine Jewellery, we love creating bespoke pieces designed and made truly for you.
Balanced Designs for Modern Life
The most considered jewellery for 2026 balances fire with calm is yellow gold for stability, red or green gemstones for energy and growth and blue stones for emotional clarity. These thoughtful combinations create jewellery that supports you - energetically and aesthetically, every day.
