Fall Jewelry Materials

Fall is my favorite time of the year. I love the nip in the air as the days cool down. I love the rich, warm fall colors – orange, rust, red, ocher, and brown. What I see outside my window invariably influences the materials I choose as I work on jewelry. Here are some of my fall favorites.

Bronze – hammered shapes reflect the light adding sparkle to an autumn day.
Citrine – golden to deep yellow, like a ray of sunlight on a crisp fall day.
Colored Copper Wire – incredible colors like tangerine, plum, navy, and magenta make up into colorful rings and earrings.
Copper Wire - it bends and swirls easily. Its warm color looks great alone or mixed with a variety of gemstones.

​Glass Beads - every color of autumn from deep green to darkest rust in countless sizes and shapes.
Jasper – from soft yellows to deep rich chocolate browns, jasper is the perfect fall stone.
Tiger Eye - golden brown; mesmerizing like the eyes of a tiger.

​Blending these materials to create a unique piece of jewelry delights me. I get excited about all the possible combinations and quickly lose track of time. It's why jewelry-making is not only my passion but my obsession.
