Gemstones To Encapsulate Summer

We're still hoping for a glorious summer in 2024, one where we can enjoy some nice breaks and give our finest summer looks a whirl. Some gemstones are ideally suited to the summer months due to the colour or associations, so here's our pick of Amore Argento pieces to sum up the summer. Peridot is the birthstone for August, and the vivid green is a great colour to match with floral print dresses. The beautiful bright green works really well against tanned skin and it is the perfect colour to wear for garden parties and barbecues, tying your look into the colours of the surroundings. Our Lime Content necklace, earrings and ring are ideal bold accessories for your summer look – the large oval stones sit like leaves on your lobes and finger, while the cubic zirconia studding on the hanging loop of the pendant brings a flash of light to your chest, drawing attention to the large peridot stone. Pick one or two pieces for a daytime look and wear with a sharp outfit. The Duo Vert twosome is a little more subtle, using two smaller stones in a circular and teardrop shape, both set in a smooth sterling silver mount. These pieces provide a little movement and will look fab with a pretty tea dress. Our Daisy Green three-piece is the height of summer; floral inspiration and a bright colour make these pieces your go-to accessories for any sunny event. Larimar is a real summer stone. This gorgeous turquoise stone is only found in the Caribbean and we can't think of a place that encapsulates summer better than the tropics. Our Caribbean Delight earrings and necklace are therefore the perfect pairing for your hottest summer outfits. The cool turquoise blue evokes the tropical sea, while the smooth cabochon cut brings to mind the glassy surface of a calm lagoon, one that invites you to dive right in and cool off. The Salsa three-piece has a bubble edged mount for a fun twist on the style, making these a great choice for evening wear, when the flickering torches and candle light will play off the surfaces of the silver lighting up the cool blue stones. If you're after even more sparkle have a look at our Blue Halo pieces. These combine the bubbles with cubic zirconia to create a light-catching halo for the central stone, making them ideal for night time wear. You don't have to be at a beach bar to wear these, as they'll bring a tropical touch wherever you wear them. Finally, our Dominica earrings and necklace use the same two-stone style as the Duo Vert pieces, but with a smooth larimar as the star of the show. These pretty pieces will look great with virtually anything; if you're going to invest in new jewellery this year then we recommend these larimar pieces that are in their own league in the summer, and which adapt well to the icy colours of winter.
