Prolong the Magic of Summer: How I Transition My Jewels into Autumn
As summer fades into fall, I find myself holding onto the magic of sun-soaked days through my favorite jewels. The warmth of the sun might be slipping away, but with the right pieces, I carry that summer bliss forward, no matter the season. For me, the beauty of my jewelry lies in its ability to move seamlessly between seasons—whether I’m layering delicate gold chains over a cozy sweater or letting my talismans peek out from an open button-down.
I want you to feel the same. There’s no need to pack away your summer-inspired pieces. I design them to be worn year-round, reminding you of warm, blissful days while embracing the transformation that autumn brings. Here’s how I transition my favorite jewels—and how you can too!
Get Creative with Layering and Styling
When the temperature cools, it’s time to get creative with how you wear your jewelry. Full disclosure: I often wear the exact same looks over long sleeve looks or bathing suits. See visual evidence below. But Fall fashion allows for unique styling tricks that let you make the most of your favorite pieces, while having fun coming up with new ways to slay.
- The Large Boheme Clicker as Scarf Tie For a fun and clever styling trick, I love to use our Large Boheme Clicker to add charm (pun intended) to your scarf look. Roll your scarf into a skinny rectangle, slide both pointy ends into the large Boheme Clicker slide it up where it comfortably hugs the scarf around your neck. Add charms or wear as is and voila! It’s a creative way to wear your jewels while staying warm, and it adds a little extra sparkle to your autumn layers.
- Add Charms to Huggies My Boheme Clickers are the perfect way to clasp a charm onto your huggie earrings, creating a custom, playful look. You can easily swap out charms to suit your mood or the season!
- Mix Chunky and Dainty Chains Layering different thicknesses of chains is a favorite trick of mine. The contrast between a chunky chain and a more delicate one keeps them from tangling and adds depth to your look. To keep it fresh (pun intended) for Fall, I like to keep them at shorter lengths when paired with a high neckline.
- Bracelets Over Sweater Sleeves Don’t be afraid to wear your bracelets over your cashmere sweater sleeve. It’s a chic and unexpected way to show off your wrist stacks while keeping cozy.
Choosing Talismans for Transformation and Rebirth
Fall is a time of change and transformation, and I find it the perfect moment to wear talismans that reflect that energy. Symbols like the skull, lotus, snake, and the phases of the moon hold deep meanings of transformation, helping me (and you!) embrace this beautiful shift in the year.
- The Skull Yes, it’s a spooky statement, but skulls aren't just about Halloween—Skulls are powerful symbols of change and rebirth, and they have always whispered comfort to me. I wear the FACETTE SMALL SKULL RING everyday on my pinkie, a reminder that beneath it all, we are one and the same. Skulls carry the message of "memento mori"—a gentle reminder to cherish each moment, to live fully, for every day is a gift. My skull charms also remind me of ancestors and loved ones, of lives lived and memories cherished. Worn close to your heart, these charms not only keep the memory of loved ones alive but also encourage you to embrace life's impermanence and live each day to its fullest. I just love Skull's symbolism!
- The Lotus One of my favorite symbols, the lotus is a flower that blooms even in muddy waters. It represents transformation and growth, and I love wearing it as a talisman during times of transition, like the shift from summer to fall, as it symbolizes the beauty of emerging from challenges with grace.
-
The Snake Known for shedding its skin, the snake is a powerful symbol of transformation and rebirth. As the leaves fall and the air cools, wearing a snake reminds me of the power of renewal and personal growth.
These talismans not only complement the season but also bring a deeper, personal meaning as we transition into autumn. Each time I wear them, I feel aligned with the natural cycles of transformation around me.
- The Phases of the Moon The moon, ever-changing yet constant, is another beautiful symbol of transformation. From new moon to full moon and back, the phases represent the cycles of growth, reflection, and renewal. I find that wearing a moon talisman reminds me that just like the moon, we are always evolving, moving through our own phases of growth and introspection. The moon is a powerful guide for embracing life’s natural ebb and flow, a symbol of transformation and inner strength.
Each of these talismans not only complements the season but also carries deep personal meaning. They serve as powerful reminders to honor both the cycles of nature and your own journey of growth and transformation.
The Warm Glow of Summer, Always in Style
Sure, you can spice things up a bit by switching to Fall’s own palette of rich oranges and reds with honey citrines and warm cinnamon garnets. I do that too. But I still find myself drawn to the colors that remind me of summer—sea blues, lush greens, and the lavender fields of Provence. I believe that some treasures carry the magic of summer with them, no matter the time of year. The warm glow of sunny 18k gold is never out of season, and I love how solid recycled and fairmined gold feels against my skin as the days get cooler. I wear a few of my pieces year-round, and they remind me of all the adventures I’ve had while wearing them—and of the many more to come.
One of my favorite gemstones is turquoise. Its striking blue hues remind me of tropical waters, and it always feels like I’m carrying a little piece of summer with me. I wear it all year, and it's no mystery to me why turquoise is the birthstone for December, warming up one of our coldest months here in the northern hemisphere. Much like dried lavender carries its healing scent into the fall, this stone, especially when set in sunny gold, holds the light and warmth of summer, a golden reminder that while the seasons may change, beauty and meaning endure.
Responsibly Crafted, Always Meaningful
Every piece I create is made with intention. I work with recycled gold, and if you’re interested in Fairmined gold, I can craft your piece with that too—just let me know! It’s important to me that my jewels are as sustainable as they are beautiful, so you can feel good about wearing them year-round. Read more about our gold options HERE.
Keep Shining Bright
As we move into autumn, I want to remind you to take good care of yourself. Wear the jewels that help your light shine bright, and carry the spirit of summer with you, even as the air gets cooler. Your jewelry tells your story, and I hope it continues to empower and inspire you, no matter the season.
There’s no need to leave summer behind—prolong its magic with my timeless, responsibly crafted pieces. I’m here to help you layer, mix, and style your jewels for all your fall adventures. Let's keep that summer warmth alive together. Book a zoom consult HERE or email to set up your in-person meeting.
