Once again it’s that time of year that encourages playfully mixing various colours and being creative with outfits and jewellery. If you’re one of those people who love autumn and you feel like surrounding yourself with beautiful jewellery with colourful gemstones that will brighten up any outfit, then this article’s for you. Be inspired and enjoy the autumn with these natural wonders.

Gemstones are just made for autumn

autumn jewellery is all about fresh colours and bold combinations and if you want autumn jewellery with long lasting quality, then look for gold jewellery with precious stones. Blue sapphires, blue-violet tanzanites, purple and green amethysts, green moldovites and yellow citrines are all popular.

If you’re tempted by combinations with a number of stones, a gold aquamarine ring complemented by gold morganite earrings would go well with a multi-coloured autumn dress. The soft colours of these two gemstones would also suit winter types since pale blue aquamarines accentuate blue eyes and pink morganites go well with sun-kissed skin. If you’re a brunette and maybe have green eyes, an emerald gold bracelet would be perfect for you.

A hit in the form of mineral bracelets

You may have noticed this trend in recent years too, but if not, it’s definitely worth paying attention to. What are we referring to? The trend for luxury boho style mineral bracelets. These are the perfect autumn accessory with a touch of glamour. They will likely please all those creative and individual ladies who love colours and unusual patterns.

These bracelets go well with single colour outfits which they liven up and immediately attract attention to. But they also allow room for you to be creative, they stand out with more colourful pieces from your wardrobe and encourage innovative layering with gold bracelets since they really stand out next to these.

A minimalist collection full of warm, modern colours

The KLENOTA jewellery studio has created an entire collection inspired by autumn. It’s called VIOLET and it incorporates the whole palette of colours from reddish-maroon rhodolite through purple and green amethyst and distinctive peridot all the way to pale yellow-green lemon quartz. All jewellery is crafted from 14ct gold and the beauty of the gemstones stands out thanks to their cushion cut. The vibrant colours in the gemstones are accentuated by the classic design of this cut.

The whole collection has a minimalist feel to it, placing an emphasis on details and offering a variety of options for mixing, matching and layering. The jewellery in this collection looks good as solitaires, but it will also allow enough room for your creative expression. You could complement two necklaces with pendants which have different colour gemstones with drop or stud earrings or a gold ring. You also don’t need to be afraid of wearing different colours of gold simultaneously.

Express your personality with jewellery and be seen this autumn

Combining colours and themes is just perfect for autumn and if you take care when doing this, your jewellery won’t just be a nice looking accessory but it will also be a form of self-expression that complements your personality.

Sustainability is an ongoing theme in a world that finally answers the environment’s call to action. From toning down single-use plastics to making subtle yet powerful lifestyle changes, modern society means business when it comes to the green revolution.

The skincare industry, in particular, is pitching in by resorting to clean beauty. From Greece to the Netherlands, Amalia Pavlidou stumbled upon a revelation. As she browsed rows of natural products, the idea for Alternative Therapies began to take shape—a skincare line rooted in nature, yet forward-thinking in science.

The Evolution of a Conscious Skincare Movement

As consumers demand more transparency in their beauty routines, the natural and vegan skincare market is booming. Alternative Therapies finds itself at the heart of this eco-conscious shift.

“When we started, it was not just about creating products—it was about driving a movement that would help put the world on track toward healing,” says Amalia Pavlidou. “I wanted to prove that luxury and sustainability can coexist without canceling each other out.”

This philosophy shines through in every detail, from the company’s recyclable glass packaging to its commitment to avoiding harmful chemicals like parabens and sulfates. One of the flagship products, the vitamin C serum, is a true reflection of this concept, blending 2% natural Vitamin C, ferulic acid, and sea-buckthorn to deliver both radiant skin and a clean conscience.

Alternative Therapies, once a small player, has utilized this trend, entering the competitive U.S. market this year. “There is a deep-rooted connection between nature and self-care in Greek culture,” explains Pavlidou. “We are bringing that tradition to the global stage, blending it with progressive science.”

The Rise of Eco-Beauty

Amalia Pavlidou’s plan for progress in the industry—one where luxury does not compromise ethics—has attracted a growing community of supporters. As Alternative Therapies expands its presence in the U.S., it remains grounded in its mission to redefine beauty standards.

“When I started this, I was hoping to do more than simply build a business—I wanted to build a legacy,” reflects Pavlidou. “Apart from looking good, beauty should be about feeling good and doing good.”

Now the question is not whether the beauty industry will embrace sustainability—it is how quickly it can catch up with pioneers like Alternative Therapies taking the reins. With its commitment to changing the world with mild ingredients, the brand is crafting a greener glow, lighting the way for a more conscious industry. To that effect, it is evident that luxury and beauty can be synonymous.
