Get ready to discover jewellery that reflects the season’s natural beauty and aligns with values of sustainability, elegance, and purpose.
The Inspiration Behind the Collection
Our new autumn collection celebrates this seasonal change, capturing the earthy elegance and radiant hues of autumn in each handcrafted piece. Our new collection features raw stones and natural materials, hand-selected for their beauty and compatibility with the season. From the mesmerising shimmer of abalone shell to the raw beauty of amethyst, pyrite, agate, and druzy, these stones are as versatile as they are striking, each bringing its own unique character and story. They’re complemented by Brazilian treasures like golden grass and buriti - a true reflection of nature’s creativity and richness, beautifully crafted by talented artisans.
Raw stones have a timeless appeal, connecting us to nature and bringing a unique, organic feel to our personal style. In autumn, raw stones add a touch of authenticity and elemental beauty that resonates deeply.
Here’s a closer look at some of the stones we’ve chosen for this collection and the qualities that make them ideal for the season:
- Quartz: Known for its clarity and versatility, quartz has a subtle elegance that enhances any outfit. Its soft translucency reflects the misty mornings and frosty evenings of autumn, adding a calm, serene energy to your look.
- Amethyst: This deep purple stone brings a sense of sophistication and mystery. Its rich colour complements the darker tones of autumn.
- Pyrite: Pyrite’s metallic shimmer adds a hint of sparkle, reminiscent of fallen leaves glinting in the sunlight or bonfire embers on a crisp autumn night. This stone makes a striking addition to any seasonal outfit while reflecting autumn’s bold, luminous beauty.
- Agate: Agate has earthy hues that range from warm browns and tans to soft creams and greys. Each piece of agate is unique, with natural striations and patterns that evoke the intricate designs found in tree bark and river stones.
- Druzy Stones: Druzy stones are a beautiful natural wonder, featuring tiny crystal formations on the stone’s surface that sparkle in the light. Their subtle glitter captures the first frost of the season or the glint of morning dew. Druzy stones are perfect for adding a touch of magic and mystery to your autumn style, effortlessly combining rustic texture with refined elegance.
These stones aren’t always polished to perfection; they remain raw and natural, each piece telling a story and evoking a feeling. By wearing them, you carry a piece of nature’s beauty.
While autumn in the UK is marked by warm, earthy tones and cosy textures, our collection brings a unique twist by incorporating natural materials sourced from Brazil, such as golden grass and buriti. These materials are traditionally used by Brazilian artisans, who handcraft each piece with exceptional skill and care. Golden grass, with its vibrant, sunlit hue, brings a burst of warmth reminiscent of Brazilian landscapes, offering a fresh contrast to the deeper tones of autumn.
By blending the rustic beauty of raw stones with the golden warmth of Brazilian materials, this collection offers a fusion of seasonal colours and textures that feel simultaneously earthy and exotic. Each piece is a celebration of the natural world, designed not only to adorn but to remind the wearer of the interconnectedness of global cultures and the beauty of sustainable craftsmanship.
Styling Tips – How to Wear Our Raw Stone Collection This Autumn
Our raw stone jewellery collection is as versatile as it is striking, designed to lift any autumn outfit, whether you’re embracing a casual look, dressing up for work, or attending a special event. Each piece celebrates natural beauty and earthy charm, making it easy to create looks that are as sophisticated as they are effortless.
Here are some styling tips to help you make the most of this collection and incorporate these beautiful pieces into your autumn wardrobe.
Day-to-Day Styling
Autumn is all about layering, which is why our collection lends itself so perfectly to the season’s fashion. Each piece can be easily mixed into casual, everyday outfits to add a touch of earthy elegance without overpowering your look. Here are some ideas for effortless daily styling:
- Layered Necklaces and Chunky Sweaters: Layering necklaces has never been more on-trend, and our collection offers delicate chains paired with raw stone pendants that are perfect for stacking. Try wearing a natural stone pendant on a fine chain with a cosy, chunky sweater for a look that’s relaxed yet refined. Pairing warm, textured knits with a hint of sparkle from raw stones captures the season’s cosiness while adding a touch of sophistication.
- Simple Stone Earrings for a Pop of Colour: A pair of amethyst or pyrite earrings can make a quiet statement, adding a subtle yet vibrant accent to everyday outfits. These stones' natural colours harmonise with the autumn palette, making them easy to pair with neutrals like camel, navy, and grey. Try simple studs for a more understated look, or opt for delicate drop earrings for a touch of movement and light.
- Statement Rings for Everyday Glam: Statement rings are an easy way to add a bit of glamour to any outfit, and they work particularly well with autumn’s layered look. A chunky druzy or pyrite ring can serve as a focal point, catching the light and adding sparkle to an otherwise casual ensemble. Pair a statement ring with minimal jewellery elsewhere for a balanced look that’s both modern and eye-catching.
For the Office or Evening
Our raw stone collection is ideal for the office, adding an air of elegance and professionalism with a unique twist. The collection’s versatility means that it can transition seamlessly from day to evening, adding a polished, refined feel to work attire and a touch of glamour for evening outings.
- Office-Ready Elegance: For office wear, opt for smaller, sophisticated pieces such as quartz or pyrite pendants, which lend a subtle elegance that’s not too overpowering. Pair them with tailored blouses or classic blazers in neutral tones like charcoal, ivory, or olive to let the natural beauty of the stones shine without clashing with the rest of your look.
- Transitional Day-to-Evening Looks: Amethyst earrings or layered necklaces can transition effortlessly from office to evening. For example, a layered necklace with a pyrite pendant can add a subtle sparkle that’s suitable for the office, but still striking enough for an evening out. Simply add a darker lip colour or switch from a blazer to a sleek leather jacket for a polished, evening-ready look.
- Elevated Wrist Wear for Subtle Glamour: Bracelets and bangles featuring agate or golden grass elements are a lovely addition to both work and evening looks. Worn on their own, these pieces add a hint of earthy charm to work attire, while stacking a few bracelets together can create a more statement effect perfect for after-work gatherings or dinners.
Special Occasion Looks
Whether it’s an autumn wedding, a family gathering, or a festive event, our collection includes bolder, statement pieces that capture the festive spirit of the season. Larger stones like druzy or agate make an impact and are perfect for those looking to make a statement and bring a unique, earthy elegance to any special occasion.
- Druzy Earrings for Seasonal Sparkle: The intricate crystal formations on druzy stones add a magical, frosted look, making them ideal for autumn events. Pair druzy earrings with a simple, solid-coloured dress in deep hues like wine, forest green, or navy. This balance of colour and sparkle makes for a striking ensemble that feels sophisticated yet seasonally festive.
- Natural Stone Pendants as Statement Necklaces: A large natural Chrysocolla stone pendant is the perfect choice for those who want a bold yet elegant look. These vibrant yet earthy tones add a unique character that complements autumn’s richness. Pair it with a simple outfit - a sleek black dress, perhaps, or a monochrome jumpsuit - to allow the pendant to stand out and take centre stage.
- Layered Golden Grass Bracelets and Stacked Rings for Festive Texture: Golden grass and buriti fibres add warmth and exoticism, which work well with fall’s festive energy. Try layering multiple bracelets with different textures and raw stones, or stack several rings for a more opulent feel. These combinations add a luxurious and personal touch to any formal look, giving you a unique way to shine at any autumn gathering.
One of the best things about raw stone jewellery is the ability to create your own style through unique pairings. Try mixing and matching pieces for a style that feels completely your own.
