Indian Summer Night

I made these earrings with my head full of New England’s Fall scenery. I thought back to when I was lucky enough to enjoy one of the most beautiful Fall landscapes while driving from NYC to Boston in October almost 10 years ago.

I can still remember all of the trees with all of the colors, shades of colors, the feeling of the air, the scents. I used these memories to draw my inspiration for these earrings and then borrowed from Mother Nature to make them.

I used gemstone beads, Mother Nature’s artwork, in shades of the Autumn landscape during October, when the trees are full with all colors: green, gold, yellow, orange, rust.

I made them with green faceted nugget prehnite, a serene energy stone which helps to bring harmony with nature.

The beauty of Autumn and the crisp air makes me feel such a connection to nature and such a grounding that I feel a sense of calm and at the same time an energy and inspiration to create because of all the beauty that surrounds me.

I also used a carnelian stone in a rice shape, jasper, sodalite, goldstone gemstone, handmade tiny lampwork headpins, antique silver chain and charms.
