Autumn Inspired Jewelry

 Fall is my favorite time of the year. Things are so peaceful and colorful. And a sweater held close gives the best comfort.
Starting off I did not have that much fall inspired jewelry. Now I at least have enough to get to winter. Gold and brown were an excellent start.
 Here is a multi wrap bracelet with brown leather cord and gold plate tube beads.

 A gold plate horse charm on black leather. Very simple, yet shows a free spirit.









A bracelet made with three glass leaf beads, leather cord and flat braided leather. The leaves each have a hand wrapped bail, where the wire crosses to make a double loop at the top.








A little something for Halloween. A 14mm swarovski heart and silver plate pinch bail. Simple, and could be worn on any occasion, but put with black clothing and hanging from a choker, rather intimidating.

 

These earrings are antique copper oak leaf charms and gold plate ear wire and cuff.
I have found that I enjoy working with copper. I dreaded it for many years of my life, thinking that I could never wear copper, even rarely do anything with gold. I preferred to work with silver. This coming fall challenged me to create with copper, as well as gold. These earrings were just the start.
