Hurray for Autumn!

The nip in the air and nature's rich, warm colors make autumn my favorite season. Rust, ocher, orange, red and brown are fall colors that influence the stones and metals I choose as I create jewelry. Here are a few of my favorites.

Chocolate Jasper - deep browns with just  hint of ocher make this a very versatile stone. It's perfect for the chocoholic - no calories!

Copper, Brass and Bronze - either in their shiny state or oxidized to give them a deeper tone. Earrings, necklaces, and bracelets have a warm glow to accent any fall wardrobe.

Fire Jasper - rich rusty reds with a swish of gray. A stone you won't find everywhere which definitely says "autumn".

Fired Agate - shades of orange from pale to deep make this an ideal stone for fall. Its crackled pattern is the result of heating the stone.

Smoky Quartz - soft, translucent brown makes this stone the perfect accent for other fall-toned stones. It's equally lovely on its own with a touch of copper or bronze.

​Tiger Eye - the shift from deep to golden brown can be mesmerizing, like a tiger's eye seen through jungle foliage.

I enjoy sorting through all my treasures to find just the right combination of metals, gemstones and beads to create a unique piece of jewelry. And at this time of year, I go absolutely wild for all the deep, rich autumn colors.

Have a wonderful Autumn!
