Handmade Jewelry by Autumn Rain

Deseree of Autumn Rain shares her story.


Years ago while making the journey home from Napa Valley to Southern
California, I was struck by the color palette along the California Coast.  The
colors stirred me as I realized how closely the mixture of my Asian & American
heritage flow and dance in harmony just as the colors of nature balance the
Earth.

Mesmerized by the way the surf constantly reincarnates itself from the softest
aquamarine to the darkest of teal, hues to cleanse and cool the body.  The way
the sunset could turn the entire sky an amazing color of mandarin -Relax- to the
most romantic shade of pink   -Unwind-, then to royal purple before it fades to
black -Sleep-. Yellow sunrise, everything is glistening. The sun captured in a
dewdrop lying on a leaf -Refresh-.

My designs are carefully balanced pieces in rhythm with earth. Meta-physical and
Chakra properties are always considered to calm, soothe, and heal. My hope is
that your purchase will capture your heart, for everything I make is made with
an abundance of love and gratitude. Regardless of your spiritual belief, I believe
that each and every being has the potential for enlightenment and many of my
designs reflect that.


Please keep in mind that each piece is meticulously handmade and each
piece may have slight variances.  Organics and Recycled materials are used in
abundance.  We also recycle much of our silver into new findings.  What is not
recycled is Certified Fair Trade from Indonesia and Bali.
