Gemstones are in! Big, bold and definitely beautiful! Look out for gemstones cut into more unusual shapes, large semi faceted stones for optimum conversation starters!

Pendants are still going strong but again these will be made of larger stones. Keep an eye out for those finished with a twist or unusual detail.

Silver will continue to be popular but you will see it being mixed with gold for a two toned effect.

Bright natural colours and not neon’s are the order of the day. Reds, seawater blues, pinks, plums and silver greys. Go for Amethyst, blue Topaz, Aquamarine, Sapphire, and Iolite.

Natural colours will also feature strongly; greens and neutral shades. Jade and Bronzite.

Yellow is hot! Welcome the summer sun with Citrine.

Whatever the fashion, choose the piece of jewellery that gives you joy and pleasure to wear!
