Wire Wrapped Jewelry Designs Photo Gallery: Jewelry For Fall 2014


Happy Fall! This is, without a doubt, my favorite time of year. I love the cool, crisp days, colorful leaves and celebrating the various holidays with my friends and family. It's been beautiful this week in NYC and I've enjoyed taking evening walks around our neighborhood. The leaves haven't started changing, but there has been a slight chill in the air -- and you can feel a shift in the energy that flows after those long, hot summer days.

Anyway, enough with my attempts to wax poetic about the weather. Here are a few of my wire wrapped and enamel jewelry designs that remind me of fall. Many have fall colors or look like typical fall-related things like Halloween cats or rust-hued leaves. You can see the rest of my pieces at Naomi's Designs or MayaGirl Creations. Enjoy!

Beautiful wire wrapped jewelry designs for fall


I've written many times on this blog about how much I love the fall. Autumn is my favorite season for many reasons: I love the cool, crisp air, which is a welcome change after enduring a hot summer. I love the colors of the falling leaves. I love the holidays! Thanksgiving is my absolute favorite holiday -- I think I love it even more than my birthday -- and I look forward to this day all year.

It's not too surprising then that I'm a big fan of autumn colors: oranges, rusts, reds, yellows, golds. They're very warm, happy colors -- and if you think about it, this makes sense because they're all sun or fire colors. So there's a lot of energy behind yellow or orange, especially when you combine them.

I have this gorgeous rust-colored wire, so I combined it with a lighter, almost peach colored wire. I really like the result! By itself, the darker orange looks almost coppery because it's so bright, but the peach tones it down. Meanwhile, the peach looks pinkish on its own, but the orange brings out the richer highlights. They just work very, very well together. I ended up making two bracelets using this color combo. I also made a pair of rust orange heart earrings with yellow crystals:

I still have some wire left in those colors, so I'm going to play around and see what else I can come up with. Meanwhile, only three more days until my craft fair and I'm in good shape for it. Woo hoo!
