The Romance of Autumn

The Romance of Autumn: Jewellery Inspired by Nature 🍁

Autumn is a season of quiet beauty. The air turns crisp, the ground glows with golden leaves, and the evenings invite us to slow down and reflect. It’s a time of transformation, when nature reminds us that change can be beautiful. Here at RJ Morris, we find endless inspiration in this season, with jewellery that captures its colours, textures, and meaning.

Jewellery Inspired by the Autumn Landscape

October’s landscape is a treasure chest of colour. Deep reds, amber tones, glowing golds, and earthy browns are echoed in the gemstones we love to work with.

• Citrine - sparkles with the warmth of the autumn sun, symbolising joy, positivity, and abundance. Its golden glow feels like carrying a little piece of autumn light with you.
• Garnet - rich in deep red tones, mirrors the fiery shades of turning leaves. It is often seen as a stone of love, strength, and grounding — perfect for this reflective season.
• Amber- with its golden honey hues, is like holding onto the last rays of summer sunshine. Known for its warmth and soothing energy, amber has been cherished for centuries as a natural talisman of protection and renewal.
• Opal - no celebration of October jewellery would be complete without mentioning its official birthstone. Known for its kaleidoscope of shifting colours, opal is like autumn itself: ever-changing, glowing, and full of hidden beauty. Just as the trees transform with the season, opal’s iridescent play of light captures shades of fiery red, golden amber, soft green, and shimmering blue.

A browse our window will bring you a gorgeous selection of citrine and opal jewellery or come on in and take a look at our collection of amber jewellery or this beautiful garnet ring.

Henryka jewellery is all made with beautiful natural gemstones – our favourite is this pretty silver dragonfly brooch with golden and honey amber is a stunning autumnal accent which would be perfect for a blazer. 

The Tree of Life: A Timeless Symbol

Among all nature’s motifs, the Tree of Life holds a special place. Its branches reach for the sky, while its roots anchor deep in the earth — a perfect reflection of balance, resilience, and connection.

In autumn, the Tree of Life feels especially meaningful. Just as the trees shed their leaves to prepare for renewal, this symbol reminds us of the cycles of change, family roots, and inner strength. Whether worn as a pendant, earrings, or bracelet, it is a design that resonates across generations and makes a thoughtful gift filled with meaning.

Styling Autumn Jewellery

Autumn fashion invites layers, textures, and warmth — and jewellery completes the look.

• Pair gold-toned or citrine jewellery with soft knits and scarves to catch the light.
• Garnet rings or pendants add richness and depth against neutral tones like cream, grey, or brown.
• A Tree of Life pendant layered with shorter chains creates a focal point and carries its symbolism close to your heart.
• Leaf and acorn pendants bring subtle seasonal touches that can be worn daily.

We especially love our acorn pendant and Henryka squirrel earrings for a playful autumn vibe.

 Jewellery as a Seasonal Gift

Autumn is a season of thoughtfulness and gratitude — and nature-inspired jewellery makes a meaningful gift. A citrine pendant for joy, a garnet ring for love and strength, or a Tree of Life charm for connection and resilience: each piece carries a story that lasts beyond the season.
