The story of the design
Candy corn has officially entered fine gemstone territory.
Created for the 2026 Gallery Gems Halloween Collection, this Limited Edition Gemstone Candy Corn Objet d'Art takes one of Halloween's most recognizable icons and rebuilds it in approximately 100 grams of solid 925 sterling silver, 18K yellow gold plating, and natural gemstones.
The classic three color candy corn design is recreated with an extraordinary combination of natural fire opal and zircon. The fiery center is covered in 36.40 carats of orange and red fire opal, creating a rich gradient of glowing citrus, ember orange, and fiery red tones. The golden base continues the design with 24.35 carats of yellow fire opal, while the signature white tip is illuminated by brilliant natural white zircon.
Across the entire sculptural surface, round gemstones ranging from approximately 6.5mm to 2.5mm are individually prong set to follow the curved contours of the candy corn. The result is a fully dimensional gemstone object designed to sparkle from virtually every angle rather than presenting its stones across a single flat surface.
With a stated total gemstone weight of 75.45 carats, this is not a miniature charm pretending to be a collectible. The finished piece stands approximately 3 inches high by 2 inches wide by 2 inches deep and contains approximately 100 grams of solid 925 sterling silver beneath its rich 18K yellow gold verrmeil finish. Its substantial scale gives it the weight and presence expected from a true gemstone objet d'art.
The warm yellow gold finish was deliberately paired with the fire opal palette, intensifying the transition from golden yellow through vivid orange and red before reaching the brilliant white zircon tip. From across the room it is unmistakably candy corn. Up close, it becomes an intricate field of individually set natural gemstones.
Each piece will also have its own character. Because natural fire opal and zircon are used, subtle differences in color, tone, transparency, and overall appearance are expected from one finished collectible to another.
Halloween gave us candy corn. Gallery Gems gave it fire opal, zircon, 18K gold plating, and absolutely no restraint.
