As the blooms arrive to herald a – hopefully – long hot summer, many of us will be looking forward to enjoying nature’s very own pageant of colour throughout the next few months. From delphiniums, to dahlias, begonias, gladioli, bougainvillea, roses of course, and, what many see as the star of the summer– hydrangeas, which can still be putting on a stunning show even in late summer, there will be plenty of opportunity to enjoy Britain in bloom. But even the longest lasting flowers will eventually wither as summer wanes and the colder weather of autumn approaches.
Preserve the summer magic
The good news is, choosing floral jewellery as a gift to a loved one or as a present to yourself, can help to preserve that summer magic all year long. Cheltenham jeweller Martin & Co stocks a wide range of floral jewellery where nature provides the inspiration.
What about an 18ct Rose Gold Ruby and Diamond Flower Bracelet, for example, featuring a delightful floral motif with each of the 22 flowers adorning this luxurious bracelet crafted from four marquise cut rubies. If Jasmine appeals, then these 18ct White Gold Diamond Jasmine Flower Earrings will not disappoint; each set with 0.75cts of glittering pear and round brilliant cut diamonds.
Delicately crafted flowers
Rose gold provides an exquisite backdrop to the diamond floral display of an 18ct Rose Gold Diamond Flower Eternity Ring, set with scintillating marquise and round brilliant cut diamonds. Or, there’s the dynamic colour contrast of an 18ct Rose Gold Ruby and Diamond Flower Ring, representing two delicately crafted flowers: one bloom is claw-set with four marquise-cut rubies totalling 0.77 carats, radiating vibrant red hues, while the other sparkles with four marquise-cut diamonds totalling 0.55 carats.
Ruby petals
Alternatively, an 18ct White Gold Ruby and Diamond Flower Pendant shows off a central round ruby encircled by nine pear drop-shaped ruby 'petals', meticulously arranged to evoke the natural beauty of a flower. Why not choose an 18ct White Gold Flower Shaped Pendant where a brilliant-cut white diamond sits at the heart of the flower, surrounded by six pear-shaped rubies, totalling 1.10 carats, and arranged to mimic the natural grace of flower petals.
The beauty of nature’s summer flower show might be seasonable, but Martin & Co’s floral jewellery range will keep those images fresh in the mind long after the flowers have disappeared.
