Fall Folklore & Symbols in Jewelry

The Season of Stories, Symbols, and Shifting Light

Autumn isn’t just about cozy sweaters and cooler air. It’s a season rich with symbolism. As the days shorten and the light softens, we enter a time of reflection, transformation, and quiet magic.

At Alma Collective, we believe jewelry isn’t just something you wear, it’s something you carry. A personal talisman, a tiny piece of meaning worn close to the skin. And in fall, the symbols we choose can help us mark this shift in the year with intention.

Why Fall Symbolism Matters

Throughout history, autumn has been seen as a portal season - a time to gather, reflect, protect, and prepare for the inward journey of winter. It’s a moment to pause between light and dark, growth and rest.

The symbols you choose to wear now can act as daily reminders of what matters most.

Meaningful Symbols to Carry This Season

Harvest Moon
A symbol of completion, gratitude, and cycles. The full harvest moon is a reminder to honor how far you’ve come and to trust the rhythms of your life.

The Eye (Evil Eye & Protection Symbols)
Worn for centuries as a symbol of spiritual protection. A watchful eye guards your energy and keeps negativity at bay during seasonal shifts.

Stars
Stars represent hope, guidance, and clarity in the dark. When the path ahead feels uncertain, they remind you that light is always available.

Changing Leaves & Light
A reminder that change is natural and necessary. Let go of what no longer serves you to make space for the new.

How to Wear Fall’s Symbolic Jewelry

Layer with Purpose: Mix and match pieces that hold personal meaning to create a wearable ritual.

Set an Intention: Choose a symbol to guide you this season - protection, gratitude, grounding and wear it daily.

Let the season change you, gently and with intention. Wear symbols that speak to your story and carry the light with you.
