The first day of Autumn can often bring thoughts of darker evenings and drizzling rain but it is also a beautifully fresh and colourful season. To complement this, here are our top picks for Autumn statement pieces and colourful jewellery.
1. GLOWING, CRISP ORANGES
Falling leaves epitomise this season and lend it a stunning palette of gold, bronze and copper colours. What better colour for your Autumn jewellery collection than a crisp fiery orange with complimentary lighter and darker tones all within one large organic gemstone?
GEMPORIA RECOMMENDS…
Baltic Amber rings capture all the warmth and vibrancy of the season and often feature chunky tangerine and green gemstones that really glow with autumnal splendour.
2. VERY COLOURFUL JEWELLERY
With so many natural tones pervading through the days of Autumn, it’s the perfect time to show off your more striking colours and pieces. With it’s reputation for rain and glowing seasonal sunshine, you may even catch a rainbow in the sky. For a gemstone that offers a striking array of colours that compliment each other perfectly, you need look no further than one of October’s birthstones - Tourmaline.
GEMPORIA RECOMMENDS…
Rainbow Tourmaline has it all, the complimentary pink, yellow, green and brown tones of the gemstone sit perfectly with the cool grey of the silver. It brings to mind the colours of the exceedingly rare Watermelon Tourmaline.
3. CHROME DIOPSIDE
As we face the inevitable turn in the weather, it’s important to remember the evergreen trees that stand their ground - the pines, spruces and cedars that lend the season some of the most vibrant greens nature has to offer. Coupled with the grassy greens, the holly bushes and the mosses that arrive with the damp, Autumn reminds us that gorgeous greens aren’t just the reserve of Spring and Summer.
GEMPORIA RECOMMENDS…
Chrome Diopside in sterling silver is just as happy in formal settings as it is in a more casual scenario. The use of silver pushes the deep vibrant greens of the Russian sourced Diopside front and centre.
4. FIERY DEEP REDS
Is there anything more essential to a jewellery collection that a pair of simple stud earrings? Timeless, classic and always on trend, they add an effortless touch of elegance to any outfit in any scenario. As well as the oranges and greens of the season, we mustn't forget the deep crimson reds to be found in falling leaves, crackling log fires and shimmering low sunsets.
GEMPORIA RECOMMENDS…
Tarocco Red Andesine earrings in 9K gold balance the headline colours of crimson red and blood orange against hints of tawny and pumpkin orange. The soft tones of the 9 karat gold play perfectly off the deeper tones of the Andesine and combine to make visually striking earrings.
5. SERENITE
We mustn’t forget the subtle side of Autumn. For every bold red and fiery orange there are perfect complimentary tones in the pastel range, and often they sit very well in more classic designs. Pastel yellows conjure up images of misty Autumnal mornings, with their crisp fresh feel and invigorating atmosphere. No gem captures this emotive part of the year better than Serenite.
GEMPORIA RECOMMENDS…
Serenite is an exceptionally fine gemstone in both hue and clarity - a subtle but empowering visual appearance. Yellow gold and Serenite were destined to work perfectly together and they effortlessly display a freshness that exudes style and class.
