Jewellery doesn’t need a season to feel special, but Halloween is the perfect time to lean into darker, moodier styles. It’s a chance to rediscover the pieces you already own and see them in a new light.
At Aquila, our jewellery is made for everyday wear but as Halloween times perfectly with the launch of two new stone pendants, we couldn't help joining in with the celebrations this year, curating a collection stylish enough for daily wear, with just the right amount of edge for some Halloween styling; the Aquila way.
Each piece is handcrafted, sustainable, and made to last. Designed to layer, mix, and wear beyond the season, they nod to Halloween’s darker charm without ever feeling like a costume.
Black Onyx and Black Spinel: Everyday Meaning
Black stones aren’t just striking, they carry energy.
Black onyx jewellery helps with grounding and emotional balance, while black spinel jewellery offers protective qualities and catches the light in a way that’s playful but understated.
For everyday wear, these stones act as neutral anchors you can stack, layer, and mix with other pieces. Come Halloween, that same jewellery adds a little mystery without needing to buy costume-only or one-a-year pieces.
Hella: Pendants and Bracelets That Work All Year
The Hella collection is made for layering, stacking and everyday wear, but its dark spinel stones make it a perfect fit for Halloween. The Gold Star Pendant with Black Spinel and Silver Star Pendant with Black Spinel catch the light in a way that feels mysterious and bold, ideal for adding a darker edge to your October looks.
Each pendant is handmade in Thailand from recycled 925 sterling silver, with the gold version plated in 14ct gold vermeil.
Inspired by a small town in southern Iceland, where the Northern Lights move across the night sky, these pieces carry the quiet energy of the season: longer nights, cooler air and moments that feel a little more charged.
Wear one with a black top or dress for Halloween, or pair it with the matching Hella bracelets to build a layered look that feels seasonal without tipping into costume territory. The black spinel stones bring depth and mood, perfect for this spooky time of year.
Earrings That Bring Edge
The Large Organic-Shaped Silver Hoops are handmade from recycled sterling silver, each pair freeform and slightly asymmetrical. Their shape hints at spiderwebs or natural forms, giving a subtle nod to Halloween while staying wearable any day.
These hoops are lightweight, comfortable, and versatile so you can layer with studs or wear solo for a refined everyday look. Because each pair is handmade, no two are identical, a small reminder that individuality is the best accessory.
Udaipur: Inspired by a City of Light and Shadow
The Aquila Udaipur designs take their name from Udaipur in Rajasthan, India, a city often called the Venice of the East. It’s a place of contrasts: ornate temples with pointed spires and stone-carved pillars, narrow streets that open into shimmering lakes, and architecture that glows gold in the evening light.
The earrings and pendants echo the city’s signature pointed arches and intricate window frames, inspired by hand-painted murals, stained glass and carved stonework. Each piece captures the essence of Udaipur’s artistry, the slow, deliberate craft that transforms raw materials into something lasting.
We’re also reminded of Udaipur’s rooftop restaurants that rise above the skyline, their carved walls framing views over a busy network of lights and movement below. That play between structure and energy, calm and chaos, runs through the design of every Udaipur piece.
The Udaipur Detailed Chalcedony Pendant, available in gold and silver, brings a softer kind of magic. Chalcedony is known for its calming, almost ethereal quality, and its pale glow feels especially fitting for Halloween. It holds a quiet, otherworldly energy that pairs beautifully with candlelight and cooler evenings.
For something darker, the Udaipur Detailed Black Onyx Pendant in gold or silver captures the deeper side of the season.
Black onyx has long been associated with protection and strength, said to absorb negative energy and keep the wearer grounded. Its inky sheen and intricate Udaipur detailing make it very fitting for Halloween.
For a pendant that could pass as a nod to superstition, the Lunula Gold Crescent Pendant is a nice choice.
Handmade in Thailand from 14ct gold vermeil, it’s inspired by Ancient Roman amulets once worn as protective talismans. The crescent symbolises lunar cycles, intuition and feminine energy, making it a thoughtful choice for autumn when the nights draw in and the moon takes centre stage.
Jewellery for all Seasons
At Aquila, we love the idea of making your jewellery work harder at different times of year.
Halloween, Christmas and those in-between moments are perfect for getting creative with what you already have. Layer a black spinel pendant you wear daily with something gold and textured, or mix old favourites with new pieces to give them fresh energy.
Every piece of Aquila jewellery is handmade by skilled artisans using age-old techniques and handheld tools. We work with recycled, high-quality metals to create designs that are both unique and perfectly imperfect.
These pieces are made to be reworn and reimagined season after season, offering a lasting alternative to throwaway trends and mass-produced fashion.
We are on a sustainability journey and every design is a step towards a more thoughtful way of wearing and enjoying jewellery, one that values quality, care and connection over excess.
Quick Tips for Subtle but Effective Halloween Jewellery
-
Layer smart: Mix pendants of different lengths for texture and dimension.
-
Mix metals: Black spinel looks great with silver, gold, or mixed metals.
-
Play with shape: Organic hoops or asymmetrical pieces add movement.
-
Seasonally flexible: These pieces work all year, with just enough edge for October.
All in all…
The Hella pendants and bracelets, Lunula crescent, and organic silver hoops are everyday essentials with a fun, seasonal twist. Handmade, sustainable and uniquely yours, they bring subtle Halloween style while fitting seamlessly into your daily wardrobe.
Wear them solo, layer them, mix metals…every combination tells a story. Black spinel and onyx bring mystery, light and meaning, making them perfect for everyday wear and a little spooky fun when the season calls for it.
