Autumn Alchemy: a November Tale

November drifts by in a whisper and, before you know it, December is at the door often adorned with tinsel and bright lights. At Banwells we try and resist the rush. Instead, we linger in the golden calm of late autumn, celebrating the season’s subtle pleasures: the fiery hues of falling leaves, the hardy violas braving wind and rain, the tactile comfort of knitwear...and the understated glamour of vintage jewellery.

Brooches: The Unsung Style Heroes

Small yet transformative, brooches are the ultimate autumn accessory. Pin one to a scarf or coat, and an ordinary morning outfit becomes effortlessly stylish, a quiet nod to personality and history in equal measure.

Antique Allure

Antique Diamond Drop Earrings

This season, the charm of antique-inspired pieces is irresistible. Seek Georgian-style rub over settings or jewellery with a soft, worn patina that whispers of time and stories past. Every piece carries a sense of longevity and elegance that feels perfectly at home in the cooler months.

Three Tone Gold Bracelet: yellow, rose and white gold

Mixed Metals

Why settle for one? Mixed metal jewellery lets you play with contrasts and layers, offering freedom and flair to complement any autumn wardrobe.

Warm Tones Stones

Autumn is the season of warmth, and the right gemstone can mirror its richness. Citrine, smoky quartz, garnet and fire opal blend seamlessly with the season’s palette.

As the days shorten and the air turns crisp, let vintage jewellery be the final, effortlessly chic touch to your season.
