With it being the final month of summer, we have seen a lot of new pieces of jewellery being worn and new trends that keep popping up! Here at Nova Silver, we try to keep on top of all the jewellery trends that are happening at the moment! And we would like to share with you some of our favourites that we have seen over the summer months that we are obsessed with!

Oversized Beads

Oversized beads were definitely a big thing back in the 80’s, but now they are back and bigger than ever! And no, we aren’t talking about your average string of pearls or long beaded necklace. We are talking about BIG oversized beads that are made to be statement pieces, particularly close to the neck to shape the face.

We have a couple of oversized beaded necklaces, specifically made from amber to give that bit of sparkle and colour for summer! A couple of our favourites that are in our collection at the moment are our Bespoke Amber Beaded Necklace and our Amber Art Tooth Necklace. Both very different vibes and are both unique and beautiful. Our Amber beaded necklace is made from milky lemon amber beads, cognac amber beads, and silver on a leather cord. While as the Amber Tooth Necklace is made from both cognac amber and sterling silver suspended on a smooth snake chain.



Wooden Jewellery

Wooden jewellery can either give off a Boho Chique look or either a modern look, depending on what style of jewellery you go for. Here at Nova Silver, we love the versatility that wooden jewellery has to offer and is very important to consider when buying jewellery. Wooden jewellery has that warmth and earthiness feeling to it which can elevate an outfit or help dress it down, which for summer is a great option to have.

At Nova Silver, we have a gorgeous range of Wood and Amber Pendants in our collection, which if you are after that Boho Chique style for summer, these are perfect to add to that vibe! Some of our personal favourites are our rectangular Amber and Wood Pendant and our teardrop shaped Amber and Wood Pendant. We have more available both in store and online as well!



Everything Floral

The flower and rosette craze is not over yet! If you get the opportunity, definitely get on the trend, even if it is wearing floral jewellery on your ears, neck, ankles, or fingers. Flowers are a perfect way to get into the summer spirit either with the lovely flowy shape of them or the bright vibrant colours they give off, they are definitely a winner for the summer season.

At Nova Silver, we have wide range of flower inspired jewellery, including jewellery with real flowers set in resin! But our favourite flower inspired pieces in our collection at the moment are our simply silver rose stud earrings and our classic cognac amber rose brooch. Both can be styled for either everyday wear or with an evening outfit!

Pearl: The June Birthstone

This month we have the beautiful pearl which is the June birthstone. Pearls are believed to bring luck, wealth, prosperity, and abundance. They are also known to attract success, fortune and fame.  Pearls symbolise purity, balance, and inner wisdom, often associated with divine feminine energy and nature's wisdom. Pearls are available in many colours such as white, brown, pink, black, gold, and blue, depending on the kind of mollusc and water in which the Pearl is found.

There are many fun and trendy ways you can wear pearl jewellery with some lovely summer outfits. One of our personal favourites to wear jewellery is to wear some pearl drop earrings with a strapless top or dress, a type of outfit like this is perfect to wear with our Navajo Pearl Earrings, inspired by the well-known South Western Tribe in the USA, they have a lovely fresh water pearl in the centre with a long dangly feather at the bottom of the earring. They also come with a matching sterling silver necklace too!

Another trend we love here at Nova Silver is Pearl jewellery matched with a black dress. One of our favourite sets to wear with an evening outfit is our Kitten Orchid Pearl necklace and earring set.  This beautiful set is crafted in Sterling Silver with a satinised silver and Freshwater Pearl and would look lovely paired with either a satin or velvet black dress.

Welcome to May!

With it getting closer to summer and the days getting longer, it means that we are getting some lovely warm weather! Here at Nova Silver, we are all getting excited for the warm summer days so we have created a list of some of our top picks to get you into the mood for summer!

Green Amber: The May Birthstone

May’s birthstone is the beautiful Green Amber. Not only is green amber a lovely stone to wear in the sunnier days due to sometimes having a glittery look, it’s a stone that varies in colour and hue. Some cuts of green amber have an orange base and some have a dark green base. The Green Amber stone is a variety of olivine which is a group of minerals. The name olivine comes from Latin and was chosen at the end of the 18th century, as the stone has an olive to bottle green colour.

Whether you are looking for yourself or a birthday gift, we have this beautiful Green Amber leaf pendant which is very sweet and petite and is perfect for a piece to wear every day. Or if you’re a fan of more statement jewellery, we have a lovely range of bespoke green amber pendants including some gorgeous oval shaped dark green amber pendants with a lovely silver setting.

 


Best flowers to pick in May

There is a beautiful selection of flowers that grow in May. However, some of our favourites that grow are roses, heather and the lovely Poppy. We have a beautiful range of pendants and earrings from our Shrieking Violet range that have real versions of these flowers set in resin! One of our personal favourites is this pretty Heather pendant. The green stalk in the middle of the pendant with the flower surrounding it makes it a striking piece! Heather flowers are believed to offer good luck or fortune and to represent independence.
