Put some Spring in your step!

This year has flown by us so fast and Spring is well and truly upon us, so we are inspired by the sunshine and longer days and come up with four gorgeous looks to inspire your own outfits for all your Spring activities. So here we go: 4 looks to spice up your outfits and bring the heat this Spring/Summer.



A Picnic by the Lake

What better way to spend the Spring Season than a picnic on the weekend, with a spacious spread and a beautiful view overlooking the lake. For this look we’ve gone with a bohemian feel, with an emphasis on comfort and effortless elegance.

This outfit features two statement piece necklaces, the Navajo Diamond Pendant and the Islamic Stone Pendant, broken up by the minimalistic Curved Bar Necklace to achieve balance. The Navajo Diamond Pendant immediately draws attention with its bright, textured, silver finish and unique combination of geometric shapes. Whilst the Islamic Stone Pendant, featuring a turquoise stone, provides a vibrant pop of colour to match flowy/ patterned Spring skirts. The Curved Bar Necklace is the finishing touch, acting as a perfect complimentary piece and softening out the statement pieces. Our necklaces are perfect to layer on flowy Spring wear to elevate any simple look. 


We’ve also gone with the Geometric Earrings to tie in the strong lines and symmetrical shapes that the Navajo Diamond Pendant provides. These earrings add a trace of complexity to the look with the skilful way the shapes interact and intertwine together.

In order to leave the spotlight on these beautiful pieces, we’ve kept it simple on the hands. The Plain Rings are incredibly versatile. These were paired with the Silver Hexagon Ring, Textured Medium Ring, Amazonite and Rhodonite Rings. These rings bring together the whole outfit, with the brighter colours you’ll be wearing this Spring.

Walk in the Park

For those days that you just want to go outdoors and enjoy the sun, we’ve put together a look that encapsulates a playful, whimsical aura that doesn’t get in the way of enjoying the outdoors.

For this look, we’ve layered more statement rings with simple Hammered Rings and Twisted Rings that draw the eye by reflecting the Spring sunlight beautifully. For some added interest, we’ve included the Bar Ring Single. It adds depth and shine in its textured designs and appears to floats on the hand. Additionally, we’ve included some playful statement pieces, including the Silver Triangle Ring and the Roller Ring to add both style and entertainment to your outfit.

For the centre piece, we’ve chosen the Oval Pendant with Figure. The Pendant swings gracefully at the end of a fine closed cable chain giving the impression of a figure sitting on a swing. This quaint piece adds extra quirkiness to vibrant outdoor outfits.

The Curve Bar Necklace is back at it again but this time using the shorter length. It’s a staple piece that’s perfect for off the shoulder tops, to sublimely contrast against any skin tone. It draws the eye upwards, towards the Islamic Stone Earrings, another statement piece for this look.

The Islamic Stone Earrings are perfect for Spring as they reflect the light, to highlight the embellished decorative patterns. The semi-precious stones hang beautifully at the base of the piece, allowing movement and flow.

For those especially humid days, we’ve added the Small 2 Piece Hair Pin, available in tear drop or diamond, to keep your flowing locks out of your face. This accessory is a perfect addition to any Spring hairstyle, long or short, as it adds texture and thickness to your hair.

A Day at the Office


It’s hard to concentrate when the weather outside is so lovely while you’re stuck in the office. Instead, you can concentrate on your hands typing furiously away or just being hard at work with this gold or silver accessory set up.


Gold

For this look we’ve made the 9ct Gold Roller Ring the statement piece. This fun accessory is your perfect companion when you need to be hard at work but can’t keep still, as the ring will glide back and forth with the movement of your finger. For added interest we’ve included the 9ct Gold Thin Hammered Ring and the Gold Layering Rings to create a sophisticated style that’s convenient for the office.

We’ve layered two simple reversible necklaces to this Spring office look, the Small Diamond Reversible Pendant and the Large Circle Reversible Pendant. The 18ct Yellow Gold side of these pieces are perfect against light neutral tones of office wear. 

To keep it practical in the office we’ve styled this look with two of our gold studs. The Square Gold Studs and the Small Round Gold Studs keep the warm feel of the look consistent, while the domed shapes capture the natural light from your office window. 


Silver

If you’re more of a lover of silver this Spring we’ve created an office look just for you! 

The look shines with statement rings to create a dainty yet elegant feel but won’t get in the way of your productivity in the office. The Rhodonite Ring adds a warm pink tone to compliment the rosier work wear this Spring.

A Night Out

On nights out we’ve created a look that draws attention to your outfit but is practical and light so you can be ready for any spontaneous activities that you’ll embark on through the night.

The statement piece for this look features the Geometric Pendant. With the two different shapes hanging independently on opposite angles, their gentle movement will really catch the eye. Coupled with the Domed Patterned Earrings Long which incorporates great depth to capture and reflect the night light.

On the hands, we’ve kept it simple: Layering Plain Silver Rings, with Thin Hammered Ring Bands to add a lustrous shine and change up the thickness of the bands. Paired with the Oval Ring with Domes which floats effortlessly in an oval frame to complete the modern yet unique look.

And that completes the final look we have for you guys. Feeling inspired? We hope you are! Tag us #asilvercircle so we can see all the incredible looks you’ll be rocking this Spring.

Stay Warm and Elegant this Winter

With the arrival of Winter it brings the cold, heavy knits and hot cocoa. This can be a time when jewels don’t adorn our bodies like they do in the Summer but our pieces will make you want to elevate your Winter style. This blog post features our new Hair Pins and their versatility when it comes to Winter trends. While our range of Rings, Earrings and Necklaces equally add an extra modern elegance to any outfit. Turn heads at all your Winter events as our styling tips will ensure our jewellery will accentuate any Winter outfit.

Teardrop Earrings with Figure
These statement earrings add a playful element to any winter outfit. Featuring small figurines within an elegant teardrop shape, the sterling silver will stand out against any dark or woollen textiles. Don’t fear these earrings getting lost amongst the layers of clothing as these are a guaranteed talking piece.

Domed Patterned Earrings Long
The simplicity of these earrings express elegance and style. They can be paired with a turtleneck jumper, scarf or high-neck garment where a necklace may not be practical. The discs feature roller imprinted textures, which catch the light bringing depth to the patterns and a lustrous shine to any gloomy winter’s day.

Geometric Pendant
The Geometric Pendant is a stunning statement piece that is eye catching and intricate. The fluent lines flow effortlessly creating contrast against bold clothing colours, which draws attention to finer details and fabrics. The length of this necklace means it can be paired with Winter scarves and full garments where the pendant won’t be lost.

The Branch Pendant
The Branch Pendant is organic and brings warmth to any outfit. Made out of a Native Australian branch, this piece has character, texture and integrity. The rawness of the branch highlights its rich brown cocoa color that balances against gentle neutral colours, wool materials and warm tartan jackets. Pair our Curved Bar Necklace and Domed Patterned Studs with this feature pendant to complete the look.

Hair Pins
Hair Pins are a great accessory for winter that can really elevate a simple outfit and keep your hair out of the Winter winds. The Small and Large 2 Piece Hair Pins can be used to create elegant updos, sleek low ponies, or messy buns. Hair pins work perfectly with scarves as the hair can be pulled back to offset the chunky material or can even be used on the scarves keeping them in place, adding a highlight to the entire Winter outfit.

Rings
It is easy to forget about styling rings in winter! The cold weather means that we are more worried about keeping our hands warm with gloves than looking stylish. A good solution is opting for smaller, daintier rings that don’t get caught on gloves but can still be layered to create beautiful looks.

Silver rings
Our Silver set of rings add a soft touch to any look. The Twisted Rings compliment warm, rugged materials which can be stacked or used as midi rings. Try pairing with our Rhodonite or Amazonite rings for a pop of color that brings warm or cool tones to your hands all year round.

Gold rings
Bring a warm elegant look to cold hands this winter by combining our delicate and fine gold rings. The Gold Plain Rings and Gold Twisted Rings perfectly compliment the new 9ct Gold Roller Ring or 9ct Thin Hammered Ring Band, which are both statement pieces that you need not worry about getting caught on your gloves. Try pairing these with our Round or Square Gold Stud earrings for a sophisticated winter flare.

So warm up this Winter and try these Winter styling tips yourself with our jewels. With our new and versatile Hair Pins and wide range of Rings, Earrings and Necklaces, keeping warm and staying elegant has never been easier!

All things Gemstones

Gemstones are natural treasures that are celebrated for their rich colours, intriguing patterns, and mineral properties which are believed to improve aspects of the body and mind. When used in jewellery the effect is alluring. The natural vibrancy and form of the stones elevate the look and feel of each piece, making the collection of A Silver Circle’s gemstone jewellery so gorgeous.

Green Phantom Quartz

The Green Phantom Quartz is considered a facilitator of self growth and healing. The stone is said to assist in detoxification and removing unwanted energy from the body. The Green Phantom Quartz is visually intricate as it forms through other minerals and leaves a ghost-like illusion where the green mineral is floating within a clear crystal. The Green Phantom Quartz Stone Drop Necklace emphasises the mystic feel of the stone created by the natural colour and form.

Amethyst

The Amethyst crystal is a variety of quartz that is well known for its elegant purple shade that varies in tone, from a deep violet to light lavender. It is used for healing, purifying the mind and clearing negative thoughts, therefore many people meditate with this stone to eradicate feelings of stress and anxiety. The Amethyst Stone Drop Necklace allows for a full appreciation of this stone and its natural beauty. The long, delicate sterling silver chain complements the Amethyst and allows the colour to pop.

Amazonite

Amazonite is known as the stone of hope, promising to soothe the spirit and calm the soul while also encouraging freedom of expression and empowerment. A calming and soothing energy radiates from this stone that benefits the wearer. The colours of the stone are radiant, with shades of turquoise and green running throughout that reflect the colours of the Amazon River. The Amazonite Ring beautifully highlights this, as the stone is set inside a sterling silver bezel that accentuates the shape and natural vibrancy of the stone.

Citrine

Citrine is know as the ‘light maker’ as it emanates positivity and joy. The colour of the stone ranges from yellow to light brown shades as a result of the intense heat it is exposed to. Its properties are linked with wealth and abundance and is also said to activate the imagination and allow for the flow of ideas and creativity. The Stone Bar Necklace highlights the variation of colour in Citrine due to the different shapes a cut of stones used in the necklace.

Red Carnelian

The warm, vibrant tones of the Red Carnelian stone is said to boost confidence and the power of expression. Brown, orange and red hues form in specks and bands within the stone. This crystal’s properties are associated with taking bold action and can activate energy in the wearer’s core to inspire and motivate them. The Red Carnelian Stone Bar Necklace is a very stylish way to reap the benefits of this stone.

Freshwater Pearl

Freshwater Pearl is formed in molluscs as a result of a build-up of sand and other foreign material that finds its way into the shell. This is why it is considered the stone of nurturing and nourishment particularly in regards to faith, loyalty, integrity and purity. It draws a strong connection to feminine energy and can help women connect with their ‘inner goddess’. The soft pink tone of the Freshwater Pearl is effortlessly accentuated through the silver chain used in the Stone Bar Necklace, creating an elegant look and feel.

Aquamarine

The pale blue Aquamarine is the stone of enlightenment, spiritual and emotional awareness. It is connected to the moon and water, with the blue colour indicative of its power to awaken spirituality and emotional intelligence. Additionally, Aquamarine is thought to improve relationships and have the ability to sooth and calm the wearer and those around them. The Aquamarine Stone Bar Necklace is reminiscent of these qualities and brings a cool, relaxed feel to any outfit.

Red Agate

Red Agate is the stone of protection which shields the wearer from negative energies and promotes feelings of calmness and relaxation. It has stabilising and strengthening qualities that are reflected in the layers of colour within the stone. The striking red is accompanied by shades of orange and white, while also being translucent in parts which captures the light beautifully, as seen in the Red Agate Stone Drop Necklace.

How to Style our Gemstones

The Stone Drop Necklaces look amazing layered with the Stone Bar Necklaces. We love styling them together as there are so many colours and shapes to experiment with. Layering these pieces with the Curved Bar Necklaces complete the look perfectly as they add an extra textual element that emphasises the colours of the stones. Each stone has a unique quality that will create a different feel when paired in a certain way.

Pair warmer toned stones such as Citrine, Red Agate, Red Carnelian and Freshwater Pearl together for a bold look. Cooler toned stones such as Amethyst, Amazonite, Green Phantom Quartz and Aquamarine can be paired for a more relaxed feel. Our favourite combo at the moment is the Amethyst Drop Necklace and the Aquamarine Stone Bar Necklace, along with our new Amazonite Ring to embrace the soothing qualities each stone.
