Perfect summer jewellery
Author: Magdalena Kořínková
Warm, sunny days are perfect for ladies to show off their jewellery – especially necklaces and bracelets that were hidden under coats and long sleeves during the colder months. The brighter and sunnier the days, the more vibrant the world feels, and so we naturally crave colourful clothing or radiant, colourful jewellery and accessories. If sustainability is also part of your lifestyle, antique jewellery is a perfect choice for you.
No matter your style, jewellery always completes your outfit perfectly. Minimalist jewellery pairs beautifully with bold outfits, while single-colour outfits can be complemented by statement jewellery that becomes an unforgettable centrepiece. And which gems are the most “summery of summer”? Those adorned with pearls (June’s gemstone), rubies (July’s gemstone), and peridots (the essence of August).
Summer Colours
What colours come to mind when you think of summer? They’re likely vivid and bold – blue, red, green… Especially when you’re heading to the sea, jewellery featuring turquoise, pearls, or coral makes a fantastic accessory. However, each has its specific care needs – pearls benefit from a “return” to the sea, while turquoise is best kept out of sunlight. For tips on caring for your jewellery during seaside holidays, see our article on jewellery that radiates summer.
Cocktail Parties
Summer is full of gatherings, garden or cocktail parties, and evening strolls along promenades. For occasions where you want to shine as the goddess of social events, bold jewellery is ideal. What would we recommend from our collection? Cocktail rings, statement necklaces, and brooches.
Bon Appétit et Santé!
Summer also brings light and fresh delicacies. These treats and their colours have inspired many precious stones. Among those that also feature in our collection are citrine and peridot.
If you’re a wine lover and heading out for a drink with a friend, why not bring a small gift like a fun costume brooch shaped like a bunch of grapes? Although at Antiques Cinolter we offer only one-of-a-kind jewellery, these brooches are an exception – we have enough for all your friends.
We also have another unique piece for a true wine enthusiast: stunning early 20th-century gold earrings with coral shaped like grapes. Can you see yourself wearing them at a wine tasting?
Nature All Around – and on Us
In summer, not only people enjoy life more, but so does the animal kingdom. If you love animals, you might enjoy a ring with a hummingbird, a butterfly or dragonfly brooch, or starfish-shaped earrings.
Are you more of a flower lover? Floral motifs are a timeless staple in jewellery. Flowers, branches, or leaves – you’re sure to find your perfect piece. If you love floral themes, check out our article on jewellery that lets you bloom.
Summer Nights
Is there anything more romantic than a summer night? The warm, gentle air, the beautifully deep blue sky filled with stars that sparkle like diamonds… Become the queen of the night with a hand-carved mother-of-pearl crescent pendant, gold earrings with beautifully dark blue sapphires, diamonds, and pearls, and a platinum ring with sapphires and diamonds.
A Midsummer Night’s Dream
The magic of a summer night even captivated William Shakespeare – and his *A Midsummer Night’s Dream* became one of his most beloved plays. Whether your favourite character is the Amazon queen Hippolyta, the lovelorn Hermia, the elf king Oberon, the jester Puck, or the fairy queen Titania, you can channel any of them through the charm of your antique jewellery or accessory.
Isn’t it true that gazing at a beautiful faun statue sparks your imagination and takes you straight into an enchanted forest?
We wish you a magical summer and look forward to welcoming you in our store on Maiselova Street. Come visit us and select a unique, one of a kind antique for yourself or your loved ones.
