Summer Gemstones
Summer is here, and with it comes sunny days, exciting events and fresh, vibrant outfits to match! As the days shine bright it's the perfect time to add a splash of sparkle to your wardrobe and jewellery box. At each one of our Silver Scene shops, we've interestingly noticed our customers gravitating towards certain Gemstones that perfectly reflect the feel of the sun-soaked season, so we asked our staff for their run-down of their most popular pieces!
Fiona in Brighton, Prince Albert Street - "During the summer lots of blues like Turquoise and Larimar. Citrine and Moonstone too!"
Jenny in Glastonbury, The Gauntlet - "Stones that change colour like Opal, Moonstone and Labradorite. The sun really enhances their beauty! And all the blues seem to be a fave too, especially Turquoise and Larimar."
Kim in Taunton, Orchard Centre - "Turquoise and Larimar 100%!"
Jade in Bristol, The Arcade - "Definitely the two main Birthstones of the summer, Moonstone for June and Peridot for August. Also Opal, because it looks stunning when it catches the sunlight."
Abbi in Totnes, Fore Street - "Turquoise and Moonstone here!"
Lets take a dive into some of these Gemstones, and why they're perfect summer additions!
Opal
Often described as the Kaleidoscope Gemstone, with its dancing, glittering hues of calming blues and greens, to fiery reds and oranges. Enhanced under the glow of the sun, each Opal piece is truly one-of-a-kind. It is also associated with love and releasing inhibitions, which fits in perfectly with the sense of freedom and joy that summer brings about!
Larimar
Also know as the Atlantis Stone, can only be found in the tropical regions of the Dominican Republic, and, on rare occasions in the Caribbean. The patterning within Larimar mirrors tranquil coastal waters with colours ranging from deep blue to light pastel blues, evoking a sense of calm and relaxation. A perfect Gemstone for any beach-ready outfit.
Turquoise
Turquoise, with its rich blue and green shades, is synonymous with bohemian style and carefree summer days. One of the worlds most ancient Gemstones, it is believed to dispel negative energy and bring inner peace and calm. Turquoise is the perfect colour for summer outings, festival outfits and bringing a bit of edge to your every day look.
