For many, the approach of winter is not a time to savour. With the prospect of cold, wet and dreary days and nights, the warmth of summer can seem a distant memory, while the promise of spring is months away. But, bad weather and those long, dark nights aside, winter is also a season of great celebration: office parties, family get togethers, Christmas gatherings, and ringing in the New Year with friends are often occasions that bring a welcome thaw to even the chilliest winter’s day.
To make these special events even more memorable how about gifting or treating yourself to a spectacular piece of jewellery to welcome in some truly festive sparkle? Cheltenham jeweller Martin & Co offers a wide range of beautifully crafted pieces to choose from but if you need some suggestions, here are a selection of ideas that would steal the show whatever the occasion.
For lovers of rubies and diamonds, Martin & Co’s 18ct Rose Gold Ruby and Diamond Flower Bracelet is truly a masterpiece of design. Adorned by 22 flowers crafted from four marquise cut rubies, which together weigh 8.05 carats, this bracelet also showcases a single round brilliant cut diamond between each flower giving a total diamond weight of 1.40 carats. It’s a bracelet that is perfect for any special event and would make a memorable, once in a lifetime gift.
If you prefer to let the diamonds steal the show, an equally stunning bracelet is an 18ct White Gold Diamond Bracelet which features 32 GIA-certified round brilliant cut diamonds, each meticulously selected for its exceptional quality and brilliance. The total diamond weight is an impressive 16 carats which together with its sleek white gold setting, combine to make for a bracelet that is both dazzling and sophisticated in equal measure.
Alternatively, a Platinum Diamond Halo Engagement Ring features a magnificent 1.70ct round brilliant cut diamond at its heart, held in place by four claws. Framing the centrepiece is a halo of meticulously selected round brilliant cut diamonds, all secured to a band of tapered platinum. It could be the perfect engagement ring or simply a gift to celebrate a life of love and commitment.
Another choice, to reflect the wintry season’s ice and snow, is a pair of 18ct White Gold Emerald and Diamond Drop Earrings. Three claw-set pear cut diamonds, sparkling like frost, oversee the centrepiece of each earring – a single octagonal-shaped green emerald, framed by a halo of round brilliant cut diamonds. Each stone is beautifully set off by the white magic of polished 18ct white gold.
Cold and wet the weather might be, but these stunning pieces will banish the winter blues and warm the heart.
