WINTER INTENTIONS WITH GEMSTONE JEWELLERY
Winter in Australia brings bright colours through our magical sunrises and sunsets. For this reason we have collated jewellery pieces with musing gemstones to inspire a season of fruitful intention setting.
Amethyst, peridot, topaz, ruby, apatite and pearl are a few gems that compliment this winter season. And while we explore the meanings behind each gemstone in your jewellery collection here are some journaling prompts to inspire winter intention setting emboldened by colour and the way light plays to manifest stunning hues all around us.
Bright gemstones that reflect the stunning hues of Australian sunrises and sunsets to inspire a season of fruitful intentions...
Intention 1: If this season was a colour what would it be?
Go with the colour that comes to mind first and consider where it could be found. In nature, your home or in your work? Think about what this colour means to you and how you would like to emanate it this season. Purple could inspire creativity, ruby a sense of fearlessness, blue could radiate confidence while white can bring peace. Whatever your colour is write it down and notice the places you see it.
Intention 2: What would you like to make more time for this season?
The colour purple inspires an abundance of creative ideas. Surrounding yourself with stones like this allow inspiration to fall into your world. Purple gemstones like amethyst, lolite and rhodolite mixed with complimentary coloured stones like citrine, apatite and rose quartz also enhance authenticity. Is there a creative project you've been meaning to start or a recipe you've been wanting to try?
You could write a list of cosy winter things you'd like to add to your days. A few examples include:
- Baking something new
- Warm beverages like tea and hot cocoa
- Learning to knit and/or crochet
- A sunset picnic
- Game nights with friends
- Journaling or scrapbooking
- A warm bath
- Meditation
Follow whatever inspires you and allow the magic of the season to seep into these colder days.
Intention 3: How would you like to spend more time in nature?
Gently reflecting on the lush green of Australian Landscapes are gemstones like peridot, emerald, apatite and chrome diopside. Naturally they mirror the colours we see on morning walks, rainforest trails and in our backyards. It is proven that time spent outdoors, whether that be in the sunshine, watching the sun as it rises and sets or by a campfire, is grounding and essential to wellbeing.
Write down the ways you would like to connect with nature during this cooler season and consider how these kinds of surroundings make you feel. Record the little things you notice like birds, cloud patterns and flowers.
Purple hues found in amethyst and sparkling clear stones like topaz and diamond pair well with earthy green tones.
Intention 4: Where do you seek more clarity?
Sparkling lab grown diamonds, cubic zirconia and white topaz never go out of style. Paired elegantly with gemstones like creamy pearls and blue topaz a calm, peaceful vibe radiates.
Clarity often brings a sense of calm. Consider where you would like to seek more clarity and how that would support a clearer and more intentional mind. Winter is the perfect time to reset and consider the things that bring most satisfaction and calm.
Some of our favourite jewellery pieces that feature serene energy are Saint Valentine's Cielo Long Pearl Earrings, by charlotte's Wishing Bracelet and Wonder Co's Birthstone Rings for March, June and December. These gemstones feel coastal and calm as they reflect tones of a sparkling ocean with the seafoam of waves coming back to shore.
Intention 5: What are your energy givers?
Sunshine, moving your body, good music, time spent with loved ones, a warm cup of coffee, whatever it is that makes you feel energised write it down. Notice how you feel in the hours and days that follow doing these things.
Like the sun, glowing tones like orange, yellow and white, bring a golden warmth to your style no matter the base of your jewellery. There is something magical about the contrast of bright orange citrine on a silver base like in Wonder Co's November Birthstone Ring. Pairing citrine, warm honey and amber coloured stones with bright cubic zirconia, white topaz and lab grown diamond (for some extra sparkle) is breathtaking.
Expressing yourself through fashion can be an energy giver too, so long as you trust your instinct and apply trends in ways that feel true to you.
Our style tells a story and that is why jewellery that features gemstones is particularly personal. We love to consider all the gemstones within our jewellery collection here at Silvershop and support you in curating a collection that forms part of your everyday. Take a moment this winter to consider what matters most and how that resonates, not only in your style but with all the other daily rituals too.
