Wearing Autumn's Juicy Hues

Autumn brings us luscious, warm, juicy colors: ripe blackberry, raspberry, amber, pumpkin, crimson and gold. Autumn colors are a redhead's dream, but even if you don't have red hair you can use these colors to your best advantage in your clothing and jewelry wardrobes. If you have black hair and a pale completion, then choose the deep wine reds - claret, merlot, burgundy - and don't forget to look for them in velvet for the holidays. They will be striking on you. If you have black hair and a darker complexion then look for the undertones in your skin and play them up with your color selections. Without wearing any make up, your skin may edge toward the yellow or the rosy tones - make that your cue to select colors from the autumn palette that will complement your complexion. Blondes can look spectacular in raspberry and gold tones that accentuate your hair color, and brown hair can benefit from selecting burnished tones of copper and amber.

Your jewelry can also reflect the luscious autumn colors. Rhodolite garnet captures the berry tones, amber brings in the yellows, golds, and oranges of falling leaves. Copper is a perfect autumn metal and is now showing up more and more in jewelry as gold has hit new highs in price.

Here is a selection of yummy autumn colors in jewelry from my shop, Elegant Artifacts.
