A look at some of our favourite October birthstone jewellery designs at W Hamond this autumn.
Autumn. The season of cosy sweater wear, burnt orange woodland walks with a pumpkin-spiced latte in hand and the soft, melting moment of a toasted marshmallow by the roaring fireplace. Also, the season for beautiful jewellery pieces. A playful pair of sparkling studs to pep up your apple-picking adventures, maybe? Or an ethereal opal necklace to mark an October birthday? Here at W Hamond, we have a stunning, curated selection of fall-perfect items for you to combine with your autumnal wardrobe this season. Choose one or two of these versatile pieces, and you’ll always have a quick and easy way to elevate your seasonal cosies before heading out the door each morning.
C W Sellors Love Letters Collection
To help take you from the summer months to autumn, our hand-crafted Love Letters jewellery range is perfect for layering with other items of jewellery, or for adding a subtle touch of luxury to your woollen hats and fleece-lined jackets this Fall. Whether you see the creations from our Love Letters collection as expressions of individuality, or as personal sentiments to gift to a loved one - all perfectly capture the skill and nimbleness of our talented craftsmen, who manage to bring each curve and undulating shape into existence with the greatest proficiency. The calligraphic pendants are crafted from sterling silver or a more indulgent 9ct yellow gold, and incorporate elements of Whitby Jet, Blue John, Moonstone, Turquoise and the classic diamond within their typographic structures, not to mention Opal – the entrancing October birthstone.
18ct White and Yellow Gold Opal Diamond Pear Drop Cluster Necklace FEU-2459
As the leaves start to turn golden, our instinct is to begin accessorising with orange and yellow-coloured gemstone jewellery pieces. But simple, effortless designs help break an outfit up, adding a statement piece to fur coats and layered textures without going overboard. A perfect example is this 18ct yellow and white gold pear-cut opal pendant. Hanging from a polished yellow gold bale, the pear-cut opal stone showcases a flashing display of rainbow colours whilst framed inside a border of scintillating round brilliant-cut diamonds amounting to 0.09ct. The pendant hangs effortlessly at the centre of an 18-inch chain and can be combined with other similarly styled creations from our compelling opal jewellery range.
18ct White Gold 0.66ct Opal Diamond Pear Stud Earrings FEU-1515
Big knitwear is in vogue right now and what better way to add a touch of finesse to thick jumpers and snuggly scarves than a pair of opal and diamond stud earrings? The pear-cut diamond has long been recognised for its enduring, timeless beauty, combining elements of the classic round cut with the captivating marquise style. Yet, when in the form of a piece of opal, the shape takes on an even more graceful presence. These opal earrings feature an 18ct yellow gold post and butterfly fastening but an 18ct white gold pear-shaped setting for the diamonds and opal, allowing both to illuminate when caught unexpectedly by the light.
18ct Yellow Gold Opal Diamond Pear Cut Cluster Ring FEU-1740
To turn heads this year, consider embracing the neutral shades of autumn with soft colours that complement cinnamon, pecan, rust, butterscotch and tangerine clothing accessories. Delectable pieces of jewellery like our pear-cut opal and diamond cluster ring are perfect for such occasions. Beautifully carved into a pear shape, the opal gemstone is like no other stone, capturing a multitude of colours and nuances within its deeply entrancing structure. The gemstone is held into place by a classic four-claw setting crafted from 18ct white gold to enhance the lustre of each magnificent diamond, while the band itself is a beautiful polished 18ct yellow gold metal. Ideal for combining with our other pear-cut opal and diamond creations, the ring is a beautiful gift idea for any lady sharing her October birthday with this birthstone.
18ct Yellow Gold Opal Diamond Round Halo Ring FEU-1713
Layering jewellery certainly adds extra flair to your outfit, but if you want to go simple this autumn, consider a piece of jewellery like this yellow and white gold opal and diamond halo ring. Encompassed by a showering of delicately shimmering round brilliant-cut diamonds, this round opal gemstone adds a subtle touch of colour to the hand, elevating the brilliance and fire of the classic diamond perfectly. Our artisans here at C W Sellors choreograph a stunning dance of light and colour within this design. At the same time, the ring gently nods towards vintage territory, making for one of our favourite opal jewellery designs here at W Hamond.
18ct White and Yellow Gold Opal Diamond Oval Cluster Stud Earrings, FEU-2461
Autumn is the perfect time to experiment with jewellery. It’s also a great opportunity to add a touch of finesse to large, chunky cardigans and cable-knit jumpers. Take this pair of oval and diamond cluster earrings, for example. They’re an ideal companion for the aforementioned round opal and diamond cluster ring design, plus they add all the autumnal charm and opulence you could want in a simple pair of studs. The design marries the classic diamond with the iridescent tones of the opal gemstone, culminating in a naturally rich and enticing design language for every special occasion this season.
18ct White Gold 0.46ct Opal Diamond Round Necklace, FEU-2024
Elevate your outfit for the colder mornings with this elegant opal and diamond round necklace design – perfect for adding to oatmeal tones this season. Imbued with autumn-ready shades, the design is crafted from 18ct white gold but features a warming yellow gold bale that suspends a round piece of opal from its base. Perfect for those with a mix of traditional and modern tastes, the opal combines Art Deco-inspired features with a diamond pave border. As with each and every one of our designs, the diamonds we choose for our creations have been selected by our diamond specialists, in-house here at C W Sellors. What that process does is ensure that our quality standards in terms of diamond cut, clarity, carat weight, and colour are all consistent with the methods and ingenuity we uphold throughout our entire W Hamond range.
