Welcome to Summer!

It’s finally summer! We are getting warmer weather, more flowers blooming, and longer evenings too! Here at Nova Silver, we are thrilled to finally be in summer and are soaking up all the lovely sunshine while we can! To celebrate being in the new season, we have created some of our favourite summer time jewellery in our collection that is perfect to wear out on a walk, to the beach, or even a sunny summer holiday abroad!

Shells

We have an amazing collection of shell inspired jewellery, including jewellery that even has real shells in it! (Don’t worry we’ll talk about that in the next section!) One of our popular favourites every year is our super cute ammonite stud earrings and matching pendant set! This is a great set for everyday wear and perfect to get in the mood for summer!

If ammonite isn’t your vibe, we also have a beautiful Wentletrap shell pendant and earring set! This set has a mixture of both sterling silver and matt silver which gives these pieces a sparkly look to them! A perfect set to wear out in the evening.

Abalone

We have a gorgeous range of Abalone jewellery in our collection as well, which is indeed a real shell! Also known as the Paula shell in Australia, The Abalone shell is also believed to enhance feelings of peace, compassion, and love while promoting emotional balance.

One of our personal favourites here at Nova silver is this lovely oval abalone pendant which has both matching studs and earrings to go with it. The pendant has three diagonal slices of abalone with pieces of sterling silver separating the parts of shell. With a range of different hues when it hits the light from blue, to green, and to purple, it’s the perfect piece of jewellery to wear in the summer to stay positive!

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.
