Our Fall Collection theme, palette & pattern, came from a recent return to our love of painting.  We pulled out the brushes from their spot in storage about a year or so ago and began playing with color and composition and pattern. We found ourselves curled up on the couch or taking a break in the studio, creating little snippets in bright hues--stripes, layers, dots, swirls, florals, geometric gatherings. All whimsical and cathartic and fun. 

They may become postcards, wallpaper, gift wrap, or framed art someday...or they may end up as none of those things, but entirely meaningful as part of our creative process. In the meantime, they became the inspiration for our latest jewels and the backdrops for our fall photo shoots.  Each background you see in the images we use in our fall campaign was hand painted by yours truly, and we hope you like the jewelry (and the painted goodness!) as much as we enjoyed creating it all for you. 

Happy Fall, friends!

Word on the street is you miss our style suggestions...so we're back with some outfit inspiration for the fall season, pairing fun fashion finds with some our favorite Elva jewels.  We'd love to hear what you think...or what you're wearing with your own Elvas, so feel free to comment below!

Tory Burch Popcorn Stitch Sweater  with our Find Your Footing necklace (the bits of pale pink in the African vinyl beads will pop!)

 or with this entire look from Loft:

Use our Dreaming in Detail necklace to dress up this everyday look from J. Crew:

Or wear a silk shirt dress in a playful pattern and equestrian-inspired boots with The Mane Event necklace for a timelessly stylish combination.

 

Pastels (definitely this pretty salmon pink number) still work beautifully in the fall, especially with a gorgeous gray backdrop...and this cashmere sweater is on super sale, which is a bonus.

Jazz up a jumpsuit with our Fond of Feline necklace (and maybe some fun gold shoes, too):

Or bring brightness to an otherwise-basic LBD with our Refresher Course necklace:

 

 And, last, our From the Heart necklace is a simple addition to a navy tunic for pulled-together run-around chic:
