Indian Summer jewelry showcases autumnal hues in a channel inlay design, a process by which genuine gemstones are cut into precise sizes and shapes, in order to fit together in a silver setting like a perfect puzzle. The result is a vibrant geometric pattern of color.
Autumnal shades of delicate beads are hand-strung into Indian Summer's intricate necklaces and bracelets. Vintage-inspired pins and earrings feature shimmering, faceted gemstones embraced by a twist rope sterling silver design, a popular element in Southwestern jewelry, symbolizing the eternal bonds of friendship, strength, and loyalty.
Reflecting nature's palette of verdant green, burnt orange, caramel brown, and golden shell, the harvest hues of the Indian Summer jewelry collection complement a warm, autumn wardrobe of suede, leather, and nubby woolens. Inspired by Art Deco styling and traditional Southwestern patterning, the signature channel inlay pendant works beautifully with a gemstone, beaded necklace or one of our sterling twist rope chains. The versatile pendant can also be worn as a fashionable pin. Autumnal colors transition easily into holiday wardrobes. Green malachite and red jasper are natural choices for complementing seasonal ensembles.
As the days of summer become shorter and nights turn cooler, the Southwest landscape transforms its colors to deep green, sunburnt orange, warm brown, and golden marigold. The Indian Summer sterling silver gemstone jewelry collection captures these rich, vibrant hues in genuine gemstones like green malachite, tiger's eye, and red jasper set in nostalgic silver designs. Jewelry designer Carolyn Pollack says, "Indian summer is my favorite time of the year, when the rich colors and warm layers of my wardrobe call for the same bold and autumnal hues in my jewelry."
