19 Jewels to Hurry Autumn’s Arrival

Okay, this is getting ridiculous: As I write this, the weather in Washington, D.C. is predicted to hit 88 degrees over the next two days. While the humidity does seem to have tapered off, this is not autumn weather. Where is my season?! Everything

Where is my season?! Everything fits: the date on the calendar, the pumpkins lining the streets, the retail stores hawking cozy sweaters that I increasingly long to wear—everything, except the weather. So if wishes were jewels, I’m making a bunch: 19 pieces of jewelry that have that fall aura, in hopes that perhaps they’ll lure the cooler temps of the season this way (plus, they would just look really good for your customers to wear in the fall and winter, so get stocking!).
