How to Choose the Right Piece and Size from Augusta Bohemian Jewellery

Updated

Augusta Bohemian Jewellery is a small independent studio based in Somerset that makes everyday pieces inspired by the moon, the sea and nature, posted to your door in eco-friendly packaging. If you are deciding what to buy, the practical questions are usually the same: which category fits the look you want, what material suits daily wear, and what length or size to pick. This guide walks through those choices using the product details the studio publishes, plus the one discount worth knowing about before you check out.

Start with the category that matches how you wear jewellery

The studio groups its range into a few clear collections, and each one answers a different need:

Collection What it is for Example from the site
Talismans & Amulets Symbolic, meaningful pieces —
Waterproof Jewellery Pieces intended to handle water exposure —
Earrings Statement earrings or dainty studs and huggies Oxalis Earrings, Evil Eye huggies
Gold Vermeil Semi-fine gold plated sterling silver —
Charm Necklaces Statement necklaces with dainty charms, offered in a wide range of chain lengths —
Gemstone Jewellery Pieces built around semi-precious stones Moonstone Raindrop Earrings, Larimar Necklace, Chunky Strawberry Quartz Necklace, Herkimer Diamond Necklace

If you want one piece that works with everything, the gemstone and charm categories are the most flexible starting points. If you are buying for someone whose style you know well, the earring range splits cleanly into bold statement pieces and small everyday studs or huggies, so you can match the gift to how they actually dress.

Choosing a size: anklets and necklaces

Sizing is where most orders go wrong, so check the product page before adding to cart.

Anklets. The featured Bobble Chain Anklet is made from gold stainless steel and comes in two lengths, each with a 2 inch extender:

  • 8 inches, extending to 10 inches
  • 10 inches, extending to 12 inches

The extender means you get roughly two inches of adjustment, which covers most of the gap between the two sizes. If you are between sizes or buying as a gift without a measurement, the shorter option with its extender is the safer choice for a dainty fit, while the longer option suits a looser anklet or a larger ankle.

Necklaces. The studio states that its charm necklaces are offered in a wide range of chain lengths so you can get the look you want. Because lengths vary by design, the length you need depends on where you want the pendant or charm to sit — a choker-length chain reads very differently from a longer layering chain. Check the individual product page for the lengths available on the specific necklace you are considering rather than assuming one length applies across the range.

Earrings. These are generally one-size, so the decision is about style and weight rather than measurement: statement earrings for impact, studs and huggies for everyday wear.

Materials: what suits everyday wear

The site describes its output as everyday jewellery, and the materials listed support that:

  • Gold stainless steel — used for the Bobble Chain Anklet, described as perfect for the beach.
  • Gold vermeil — semi-fine gold plated sterling silver, sold as its own collection.
  • Semi-precious stones — moonstone, larimar, strawberry quartz and Herkimer diamond appear in the gemstone pieces.

If you want something you can wear without thinking about it, the waterproof collection and the stainless steel anklet are the most relevant. If you want a finer, more traditional jewellery feel, gold vermeil is the plated sterling silver option. For colour and meaning, the gemstone pieces are the ones to browse.

Check stock before you fall in love with a piece

Availability moves. On the page captured, the Moonstone Raindrop Earrings were marked sold out, and the Bobble Chain Anklet showed only 2 left. Several items carried a "selling fast" label. The site also offers an email notification option — "Email me when this is available" — so if a piece you want is out of stock, you can register to be told when it returns rather than checking back manually.

Get 10% off your first order

The studio's newsletter signup offers 10% off a first order. You enter your email address to join, and the signup notes you can unsubscribe at any time. If you are placing a first order, signing up before you check out is the simplest way to reduce the total.

A quick decision path

  1. Decide the occasion and how often the piece will be worn — everyday, beach, or a gift.
  2. Pick the category: waterproof or stainless steel for daily and water exposure, gold vermeil for a finer finish, gemstone or charm for a statement.
  3. Check the product page for the specific size or chain length, and use the extender range on anklets to cover uncertainty.
  4. Confirm stock, and use the email notification if it is sold out.
  5. Sign up to the newsletter for 10% off before ordering.

Reviews on the site (78 in total at the time captured) repeatedly mention service and design, with one customer noting she bought three pairs of the Oxalis Earrings as gifts. That is a useful signal if you are buying multiples or choosing a present — the earring range appears to be the most gift-friendly part of the catalogue.
