Fall in Love with the Gemstones of Autumn

As the leaves start to fall from the trees and the days start to get shorter it’s time for us to start planning our outfits for the fall. Yes, the warmer days are behind us, but that doesn’t mean we can’t go out and have some fun – and all while looking totally glamorous. That’s where the stunning gemstones of autumn come in. From the warm red shades of carnelian to the creamy, mellow hues of opal, there are many gemstones that have a natural affinity to the months of Autumn.

Add a pop of colour to your seasonal wardrobe with gemstones in glorious shades green. Gemstones such as tourmaline, jade, green chalcedony and malachite look stunning against soft beiges, greys and pastel tones of autumn fashion. It is also believed that many green gemstones carry both mental and physical healing properties – just what you need to keep those autumn blues away!

Warm red gemstones are perfect for the autumn months as they reflect the various shades of nature this time of the year such as the red and orange tones of falling autumn leaves. This season calls for red jasper, garnet, carnelian and fire opals in their various shades from bright orangey-reds to calmer browney-reds. The tones of these gemstones also complement the more muted colours of autumn outfits and your seasonal wardrobe.
