Autumn is a symphony of colours when every leaf is a flower. It's time for transition and warm spiced fruit tea. Crisp, shivery at times but still bright and clear days are perfectly right to add a little spice to your look as well. Wrapping up in scarves and coats we shouldn't forget to wear jewellery to celebrate this delicious season . Try a subtle scarf pin. It can be with charms to add a personal touch or a simple silver pin but studded with crystals to sparkle up a rainy day. Not a big fan of hats? Add some autumn colours with a romantic hair clip: deep purple, red or black embellished with pearls, flowers and butterflies.

Can't decide on the colour? Choosing jewellery colour for autumn - that's a no-brainer, really . Look around at mosaics of fiery scarlet and burgundy, rich gold, lemon yellow, hot orange and ripe coral, warm hazel-brown and pale silver and many other Nature's breathtaking colour combos that can be used as guidelines to choose a piece of jewellery that will look good with your complexion and style. My personal favourites are lapel brooches in shapes of amber maple leaves. Crystal enamel lizards and exotic multicoloured fire-bird birds look stunning on a jacket lapel as well. Vintage gold or bright purple teardrop earrings, glistening in unison with unpredictable autumn skies, definitely take the cake in terms of what I'll choose to wear today to add more sun.

As autumn's alchemy trails its way delicately through the park near my home, I shuffle along. Hopefully, tomorrow there will be more sunshine and I'll wear a warm amber pendant to go for a stroll in the park and read Basho's haiku:

fragile twigs
breaking off the scarlet papers
autumn wind
