Harvest Golden Tones In Jewellery

With the long summer-sun taking us into Autumn we look at a jewellery harvest to prolong the warm summer glow on our skin.

Yellow gold

The true vintage colour of gold, symbolic of winning and the purest colour of all golds. Its the mosthypoallergenic and can be bought as gold vermeil (sterling silver finished with yellow gold) for a more purse-conscious buy. This autumn gold bangles adorn the wrist as we still enjoy the warm days with a 3/4 sleeve length with long lariat-style necklaces and gold hoop earrings.

Amber

From sunset-yellow to cognac tones let the glowing amber casually adorn your clothes. Known for it’s soothing and healing properties it’s one of the first stone known to be used for adornment. Amber is fossilised tree resin and has such bountiful colours and naturalised beauty, if you are looking for something a bit different take a peak at green amber.

Biagio always has a good collection of Amber jewellery instore with each piece being a one-off.

Morganite

Reminiscent of the swaying fields of autumn this gemstone has such a soft, warm colour especially when set with rose gold and a scatter of diamonds bringing in a smoke-grey for contrast. Biagio often sources large cut Morganite stones for a bespoke design. Discovered in Madagascar in 1910 and named in honour of his friend J P Morgan of the banking community, it has attracted much attention in recent times as inspiration for an engagement ring presenting wonderful rose tones.

Citrine

Citrine, whose name derives from the Latin for citrus – citrinus, is a yellow quartz, much rarer than its cousins amethyst and smoky quartz. Its colour can range from pale yellow to amber, depending on the amount of iron present in the crystal. Sometimes mistaken for yellow topaz, although not as hard, it can also be produced by heating amethysts or smoky quartz to a high temperature. Most citrines today come from Brazil; indeed citrine was once called Brazilian topaz. It has been admired throughout several eras, especially by the Romans, in the 19th century and in the Art Deco period.
