Why we love fall jewelry!

We love fall! The days when a golden light brings glory to all those deep warm colors of the leaves. I am blessed to live in an area surrounded by forests and we love to go for a walk and explore all we can find. Now is the most magical time, with all the mushrooms everywhere. Imagine all that translated to wonderful pieces of jewelry!

My son loves to run, with our dog, ahead of us and be the first to *discover* yet another fabulous mushroom somewhere. Whilst the dog is more interested in finding sticks. She is getting old and the days that she ran like a hare in the fields are gone. But still, whenever we enter the forest, her younger self is showing again and she runs and plays like mad!

Nature…we have done everything to tame it. But we deny that nature is part of who we are. And nature is our source. Whenever you look at artist, it is nature that perhaps is the most common theme and how could it not be?

One of the brands in jewelry that takes fall inspiration to a deeply expressive and extreme realistic level is Hemmerle from München (Munich). Although fall can be beautiful everywhere, if you have ever had the pleasure to see the south of Germany....the large forests and beautiful scenery take your breath away! (whilst the people are much more laid back than up north ;-) ) Hemmerle makes one of the most beautiful collection of jewelry in Germany, in my opinion.

After coming home from our walk this Sunday, I sat down and started to write this blog. Inspired by all that I had seen of course! And my search for jewelry went from mushrooms to acorns and leaves. But leaves…ah, there are so many stunning designs with leaves that I will certainly will dedicate a blog later on about them.  I came across Tiffany’s cufflinks, and Asprey’s fabulous bracelet and I could not leave out, of course, the Hemmerle mushrooms! If you like to read more about the mushroom project of Hemmerle, you can do that here.

I wanted to add also some more affordable pieces and should you really be inspired and wanting something that does not cost you immediately a monthly wage, than you can always turn to Etsy for example. Or turn to a wonderful company like Les Néréides from Paris. I love their imaginary designs and the pieces are really affordable and fun!
