The UAE marks its 55th National Day, Eid Al Etihad, on Wednesday 2 and Thursday 3 December 2026. Schools, offices and families celebrate in the colours of the flag: green, white, red and black.
Head-to-toe flag colours are not for everyone. Jewellery is the quieter, more elegant way to join in. A green stone at the ear, a red clover at the collarbone or a white zircon sparkle against a black abaya says everything you need it to.
How to wear the flag colours with taste
Choose one colour to lead. Pick green or red as your hero stone and let white zircon frame it. Two strong colours in one small piece can look busy; one colour plus sparkle looks deliberate.
Let your outfit carry another colour. A green-stone earring with a white or black abaya, or a red pendant over cream, is enough to complete the palette.
Bring in black through metal. Oxidised silver or black enamel adds the fourth flag colour without another stone.
Green: the colour most people reach for
Green is the most searched National Day colour on our site, and emerald-tone stones in silver look rich without feeling costume.
Silver Green Halo Stud Earrings: a green centre stone in a halo of white Swarovski zircon, which covers green and white in one pair.
Green & White Clover Silver Necklace: alternating dark green and pearlescent clovers on a fine chain.
Green & White Flower Earrings: small floral studs set with green and white zircons for daytime celebrations.
Rose Gold Green Gemstone Hoop Earrings: a warmer take, with green stones on a rose gold hoop.
Green Malachite Four-Leaf Clover Ring: natural malachite banding in a clover ring, easy to stack.
Red: bold and celebratory
Red Enamel Clover Silver Necklace: five glossy red clovers on silver, a statement that still works with daywear.
Red Enamel Four-Leaf Clover Ring: pair it with the necklace or wear it alone.
Ruby Romance Red Heart Earrings and Red Square Stone Dangling Earrings: one sweet, one sharp, depending on your style.
Silver Red Heart Stone Chain: a single red heart, simple enough to wear every day of the holiday week.
Red and green together
If you want both colours in one piece, choose a design built for it rather than mixing two separate statements. The Red & Green Stone Rectangular Pendant & Earrings Set pairs red and green stones with white Swarovski zircon, so it covers three flag colours in one coordinated set.
Looks for every National Day occasion
School or office celebration day: small studs or a single clover necklace. Something you can wear all day without thinking about it.
Family gathering or majlis: a pendant and earring set, or matching necklace and ring, so the look feels finished.
Evening fireworks and outings: longer earrings and a statement necklace. For bolder options, see our guide to statement earrings in Dubai.
Gifting: a green-stone pendant or clover necklace makes a thoughtful National Day gift for a mother, sister or colleague.

Frequently Asked Questions
When is UAE National Day 2026?
Eid Al Etihad, the UAE's 55th National Day, is observed on Wednesday 2 and Thursday 3 December 2026.
What colours should I wear for National Day?
The flag colours are red, green, white and black. In jewellery, green or red stones with white zircon are the easiest way to wear them.
Can I wear green jewellery with a black abaya?
Yes. A black abaya covers the black of the flag, so green and white stones complete the palette elegantly.
Is it too much to wear red and green together?
Not if they are designed together. A coordinated set with both stones looks intentional; mixing two separate statement pieces can look busy.
What is a good National Day jewellery gift?
A green-stone pendant, clover necklace or pair of halo studs. Each is wearable well beyond the holiday.
