As the seasons change and the air turns crisp, it’s the perfect time to refresh your jewelry collection with pieces that capture the cozy elegance of fall and winter. From earth-toned gemstones to layered metals and statement accessories that add sparkle to chilly days. This season’s jewelry trends are all about combining comfort with style. We’ve got you covered on all the top trends for jewelry this fall and winter!
Earth-Toned Gemstones
As summer turns into fall, our colors fade from bright to earth tones. This autumn’s palette will be characterized by deep, warm colors. Think gemstones like garnet, citrine, and quartz, colors that not only mirror the season's natural beauty, but offer versatility and a connection to the changing environment.
Statement Earrings
As our clothing gets heavier, and especially with the addition of scarves and hats, smaller jewelry becomes less visible. Trade in your studs for a drop earring with a fall motif. Nothing is more striking, or always on trend, than a simple pair of hoops. They come in a multitude of sizes, and you can add a little pizazz by opting for a pair of diamonds or gemstones.
Layered Necklaces
One of the best things about fall is all the cozy sweaters we get to wear! Nothing makes a better backdrop for layered necklaces than a chunky sweater. This fall, add dimension to any outfit by combining necklaces of different lengths and textures; play around with various chain styles and consider adding gemstone pendants to achieve a truly layered look.
Vintage-Inspired Pieces
As we shift from summer’s minimalist vibe to fall’s maximalist approach, so should our jewelry choices. It isn’t about wearing more, necessarily, but reaching for that vintage piece may be just the finishing touch your outfit needs. Think Art Deco designs, lots of textured metals, and pieces with engraving and filigree. Grandmothers or estate sales are great places to snag a few time-lasting pieces to complement any fall wardrobe.
Sparkling Gemstones
You know winter has arrived when the jewelry starts to sparkle and shine. Winter is the holiday season, after all, and there are many gatherings and festivities that call for a festive winter spirit. Think shiny and dangly; diamonds that sparkle like snowflakes, but cubic zirconia and moissanite are great alternatives.
Statement Necklaces
In winter, we wear our heaviest clothing and most of it is dark. This season, go big with a bold pendant necklace against that black sweater dress or do the complete opposite and pair dark jewelry against a snowy-white blouse. Choose onyx, sapphire, or emerald to add an eye-catching and sophisticated appeal to any outfit.
Pins and Brooches
Nothing says winter jewelry more than a pin or brooch. When much of your outfit is covered by outerwear, they become essential accessories. Attach them to coats or scarves for a pop of personality and don’t be afraid to lean into seasonal themes, like snowflakes or holiday pendants!
Bracelets
Because of the cold temperatures, wrists are often the only thing that remains visible. Rejoice! Bracelets finally have their time to shine! Just like layering necklaces, don’t shy away from layering textured, bangles, or mixed-material strands to lend a little vibrancy to your winter look.
