Channel your inner green goddess, with jewellery in every shade of glorious green this spring season.

Time to go green

Green is the colour to be seen in this season. We spotted glorious greens on all the catwalks and jewellery designers large and small have embraced it with gusto. A colour symbolic of hope, nature, spring, renewal and health, there’s lots to celebrate about green. It also evokes images of new life and old glamour, like new spring shoots and the beauty of the classic emerald. 

With spring on the horizon, it’s a great colour to be wearing right now. That's why we're sharing our lowdown on how to introduce green to your jewellery box and embrace your inner green goddess.

Stones and crystals

The obvious gemstone choice when talking about green is, of course, emeralds. A precious stone that has been somewhat overlooked for many years, but is suddenly on the rise once more - and we are totally here for it! 

Said to represent reflection, growth and balance, they even have a ‘cut’ named after them. The ‘Emerald Cut’ can be traced back to the 1500s and is now one of the most popular ways to cut diamonds as well. It’s that old school glamour and vintage nostalgia, along with their glorious deep shade of green, that make emeralds so special.

But if your budget won’t stretch to emeralds, natural gemstones, glass, ceramic or manmade stones also look great. Malachite and Kyanite will give you gorgeous forest greens of nature. 

Swarovski’s Gema collection embraces all the greens through their signature crystals. While Thomas Sabo and Shyla use cut glass to bring out that vintage emerald look, without the hefty price tag.

Shades of green to suit every goddess

From emeralds to malachite and jade, there’s a whole spectrum of green to explore and enjoy. Green stones can come in many forms. We love them all, from the deep emerald green of Shyla’s claw cocktail ring and the soft, subtle shade of Sarah Alexander’s Willow collection. 

The shade of green that suits you best will likely depend on your skin tone - or rather if you have a warm or cool tone to your skin. As a rule, paler skin tones tend to be cooler, but you can tell which of these you are by comparing your skin next to gold and silver jewellery. If the silver looks best, you probably have a cool skin tone. If it’s gold, then you have warm toned skin. 

For cooler skin tones, it’s the bluey-greens that will likely suit you best. Teals, emeralds and aquamarines, for instance. While warmer skin tones tend to suit the yellow-based greens, like soft sages and jade. Malachite and kyanite tend to sit somewhere in the middle, so may suit you whatever your skin tone.

Vintage green glamour

For those of us who can’t afford to add an emerald ring to our collection there are vintage inspired modern designs to look out for. Shyla’s Margot earrings and Swarovski’s Stilla pear cut collection, for instance, use classic cuts to evoke vintage glamour. 

Thomas Sabo’s cut glass emerald ring also uses the classic emerald cut on a more affordable stone. Emulating the kind of vintage glamour of emeralds, without the hefty price tag.

Modern green goddesses 

For those who love more modern styles, there are greens-a-plenty too. Sif Jakobs Roccanova collection places traditional emerald cut stones into modern settings. Giving you instant rock-and-roll glamour.

While Ania Haie adds touches of Malachite, Abalone and teal coloured stones. Scattering them throughout their necklaces and bracelets for texture and a hint of colour.

And if it’s the healing power of green you’re after, we've got that covered too. Daisy London’s Aventurine Healing necklace and bracelet will put you back in touch with your natural self in no time.
