Designer jewellery - Hints of History


Designer silver jewellery is a beautiful gift that is given in a single moment, but is worn to last a lifetime. And what better jewellery to give than designs that have been influenced by history? There is just something so special and magical about a piece of designer silver jewellery that combines the style of a bygone era with the quality and craftsmanship of a contemporary silver jewellery designer. These are just some designs that can make a lasting impression.


Designer Silver Jewellery – Art Nouveau

The Art Nouveau movement of the early 20th Century created some of the most beautiful designs of history, none more so than the work of Charles Rennie Mackintosh, the Scottish artist. His famous rose design translates beautifully to designer silver jewellery, whether on earrings, pendants, brooches or necklaces. These pieces of designer silver jewellery can reflect the colourful designs of the period by combining silver with coloured stones and enamel. They make a stunning gift given as a complete set. 

 

Designer Silver Jewellery – Celtic Charm

Celtic designs have long been popular as an influence for designer silver jewellery. Inspired by the nature around them, Celtic craftsmen produced wonderful designs with spirals, animal motifs and crosses. Designer silver jewellery influenced by the Celtic period looks eye-catching when enhanced with traditional stones like black onyx, opal and amethyst.

 

Designer Silver Jewellery – Swinging Sixties

Designer silver jewellery doesn’t just have to take its influences from ancient history. There are some stunning collections taking their name and designs from the sixties, with dynamic silver settings combined with stones like red jasper, hematite, and onyx. These eye-catching pieces of designer silver jewellery are ideal for fashion-lovers who miss their days of flares and mini-skirts, and want to wear a little piece of sixties style.

 

Designer Silver Jewellery – Gaelic Delights

Ireland and Scotland are great places of inspiration for designer silver jewellery. Their beautiful crosses and gaelic designs have had a strong influence throughout history, and still do over contemporary designers today. Silver rings can be inscribed with beautiful words translating as ‘love’ and ‘friendship’, whilst the symbols of the ancient runes used in pre-Christian times to tell the future can appear on pendants. Rune symbols representing prosperity and creativity are ideal to be inscribed onto designer silver jewellery.
