Brown With Golden Glitter
Autumn jewelry often arrives in flat orange, and this takes a different route. The base is a deep brown with shimmering golden-orange glitter over it, which is closer to the color of a leaf two weeks after it turns. Against a cream knit or a dark coat that reads as warm rather than loud, and the glitter does the work that a stone would do on a dressier pair.
Barely There on the Lobe
Wood is the reason these can be worn from breakfast to the end of a long evening. The drop has almost no weight behind it, so the ear is not pulled and the earring is not thought about again once it is on. For a day that includes cooking, a drive and a walk through a festival, that matters more than how a pair looks in the box.
Flannel Shirts and Scarves
Layering is the practical problem with earrings in October. These sit at a length that clears a cozy scarf and a jacket collar, so they stay visible when the outfit is a flannel shirt, a sweater and boots. They also coordinate with a girls fall dress, which lets a daughter and a mother wear the same pair to the same dinner without matching head to toe.
Festival, Photos, Small Gift
A fall festival, a Thanksgiving gathering, a school event or an afternoon of family photographs all suit the same pair, and so does an ordinary Tuesday. Because the shape is a leaf rather than a dated slogan, the earrings keep working from September through November. They slip into a card or a small box for a teacher, a coworker or a friend who already decorates for the season.
