Earthy tones: an Autumn celebration

Earthy tones: an Autumn celebration


As you might have grasped by now, we nurture a deep love for coloured gemstones! Not one shade gets discriminated. While most people, it seems, first gravitate towards livelier colours when choosing a gem (and that is totally fine too!) we often see a change in perspective when presenting our clients a “moodier” or darker crystal option.

As the season itself, there is something incredibly compelling about a stone that emulates nature’s fallen leaves palette. From warm greens to rich golden hues and all the way to a multitude of reds and browns.

Picture yourself holding a steaming cup of coffee, standing on a tranquil park bench, early in the morning while most of the city is still at home. Breathe in the crisp clean air and subtle woody scent.

Now close your eyes, can you hear the gentle curves of the wind as it runs through the orange hued trees and fallen foliage? How does this scene affect you? If it makes your heart warm then the following gems are likely for you.

Keep on reading to discover our gemstone picks for the Fall! Deep honey and cinnamon coloured Hessonites might just be the epitome of the “cozy season” in itself!

Notice how its most prominent crimson shade is touched by a shiny orange-brownish hue as it moves through different lighting? A fascinating effect! While they don’t quite match the lucid, fiery red from most rubies, hessonites can be a very adequate alternative if you’re looking for something with earthy undertones.

Bi-colour Tourmalines are also fantastic to mimic the nuances of Autumn. The perfect gradient in a single crystal is surely a special feature. You can encounter many different varieties, but most likely they’ll exhibit variations of green-yellowish to pinkish-reds.

Naturally, we could not leave the unparalleled crimson-tinted Rubies out of this list. Their legendary fame is completely justified. There is something close to magic in the way a fine gem glows with intense red when exposed to sunlight.

But if you’re a fan of golden hues, but not so into the glamorous implications of a diamond, how about the all natural, discreet beauty of another classic? Pearls will never go out of style.
