Fall is drawing near and I couldn't be more excited. The brisk breeze in the air, falling leaves, sweaters, boots, jackets, pumpkin-scented candles and coffee, apple picking...there is just something about the energy of Fall that feels nostalgic, cozy, and safe. 

That feeling of being grounded is something we all need in our lives. Fall always feels like a rebirth to me...a time when you focus on the things you want to let go of and what you want to start calling more of into your life. It's during this time that I lean on grounding rituals to help me feel rooted. 

You know, things that help you slow down, assess your year up to this point and connect you to your inner world just a little more. 

Things like slowing my morning routine down, lighting a candle each evening and journaling and taking deeper, fuller breaths. One of my favorite ways to ground myself is through the jewelry I wear each day. 

When I first started Fierce Forward, I had completely flipped my life around and became a healthier version of myself. Once a girl who would bundle up in Fall weather to go outside and have a smoke, I became a girl who would bundle up in a cute outfit for a daily walk! 

It was during this time that I started creating the Fierce Forward jewelry as a tool to help me connect to different intentions and energies I was working to embody. My jewelry literally helped me become a different version of myself. 

To this day, every time I'm creating for our community, I always think about how this will help someone on their journey. 

While Fall is right around the corner, I say, let's start planning the jewelry you're going to be rocking that will support you in this season of your life! 

Here is my favorite Fall jewelry that I'm going to be rocking this Fall season: 

1. Grounded & Grateful Tiger's Eye Ring

This ring is grounding just looking at it. The rich brown and golden hue and the fact that it's a solid gemstone ring just feels protecting on its own. 

I love Tiger's Eye because it's a Root Chakra gemstone that helps you feel rooted, grounded and safe within yourself and your body. 

When I wear this beauty, it brings any outfit to Earth. I love pairing it with deeper Fall colors in my outfits like browns and blacks or even making it my main statement ring with a graphic tee and pair of favorite jeans. It works for any Fall outfit, that's why I love it!

2. Still I Rise Mother of Pearl Phoenix Earrings

These earrings...are simply beautiful. As a free spirit myself, I always gravitate towards these Mother of Pearl Phoenix Earrings because they are my reminder that being a free spirit is what I was born to be and that I don't have to feel weird just because not everyone is or chooses to be. I can love being a free spirit and embrace it!

These beauties have a really fun story behind them too! I found these Mother of Pearl birds in a vintage bundle. They were hand-carved in the 1970's. I just imagined some free spirits sitting there together laughing, enjoying the moment while carving them. I launched them and they sold out in just a month. 

I found a way to create them exactly as they were from the vintage bird I had as a model. And today, they're on our shop for what I hope a very long time to be. I love limited edition pieces but I also love giving people access to pieces that I found special and so this was how they came to be in the shop. 

They also have a matching necklace.

3. Love Reigns Chrysoprase & Quartz Earrings

These gold Chrysoprase & Quartz fringe earrings are undeniable. Women will ask you where they can get a pair and tell you how gorgeous they are on you. 

The green Chrysoprase is magnetic and the gold fringe shimmers with every movement. 

I love these so much because they feel regal, grounded and rich. Rich in color, movement and energy. I wear these out to dinner as a statement earring and always feel grounded in gold!

These are one of our most popular earrings this year and I'm so happy you love them so much. Here's what Caitlyn says about them: 

"As the title says, these are THE most gorgeous earrings! They go with everything, and I have gotten a ton of compliments when I have worn them. The green stone really makes the green in my eyes pop. The length is not long enough to be annoying and they are so lightweight, yet such a statement piece. Absolutely love them."

4. Joyful Girl Gold Citrine Fringe Earrings

I couldn't share my favorites for Fall without Citrine, the Stone of Joy! Truly, a Fall gemstone all on its own. These earrings are timeless. Our Joyful Girl Citrine Earrings have been around since the beginning when I first started making jewelry. They are an OG and they will always be with us!

You will literally have these forever in your box of jewels to draw on. 

They are lightweight and elevate any outfit. You can rock them from day to night and they feel like wings on your ears, dusting your neck ever so gently like a cool Fall breeze. 

Truly a Fall must-have💛

5. Soaring High Eagle Necklace

We can't have Fall without an Eagle necklace😃 This beauty, just like the Mother of Pearl Phoenix Earrings, are your reminder to fly free and be who you are. 

To me, this is what Fall always does when I feel grounded...reminds me to settle into who I am, to trust myself and the path I'm on and keep moving fiercely forward. 

I named this necklace Soaring High Eagle Necklace to remind us to let go and soar high in who we are. When we let go of the weight of what can be holding us down and back, we have the freedom to soar high above and see from a bird's eye point of view that it's always our landscape...it's always your life to choose how you'll create it and show up in it. 

And at any moment, you can make a change.

This necklace is a statement and it's the perfect statement to wear this season. 

Bonus: Heart Work Green Quartz Fedora

I seriously can't get enough of brown in the Fall. I literally gravitate towards it! This hat is special. I call it Heart Work Fedora because one of my favorite mantras is: 

I don't follow the rules, I follow my heart. 

This mantra is burnished on the top of the fedora to remind you too. 

This in particular means alot to me, especially when we're talking about the power of Fall energy. It really has the ability to connect you to your heart when you take the time to use the tools and rituals that ground you. 

I hope you'll find some Fall jewels that connect you to the energy you're working to embody this season!!! 

Love, Ashley
