Fall Jewelry Essentials: Must-Have Pieces for Your Collection

As the season begins to change from summer to fall, something that a lot of people tend to overlook is just how important a change of jewelry can be to emphasize a transformation of style. Your favorite pieces from summer or classic pieces you might turn to every day might not be entirely suitable for the fall, but those who don't have much experience in building a seasonal wardrobe and accessories collection might not realize some of the small personal style details that can really make a big difference. 

If you are looking at your jewelry collection and you aren't sure which you can call out as being essential jewelry pieces for autumn, then you have come to the right place! Fall fashion is all about combining timeless style with signature pieces that really evoke the changing tone of the season. It just so happens to be our favorite time of the year too!

To help out with both your everyday wear and formal wear choices, here is a list of some of the must-have pieces of jewelry you need this fall. From things that can add that touch of extra sparkle to essential pieces that deserve a place in your jewelry box that you should never go without, keep reading for a variety of options for a wide range of tastes. Some might even prove to be great conversation starters!

Layered Necklaces 

Tempera Color Pendant - 18K White Gold

The trend for layering jewelry transcends all seasons so it's a great look for fall. The art of layering a chain necklace with another classic necklace of a different length and in a different style is something that takes a little bit of trial and error to perfect, but when you get the right combination it is style magic!

Don't assume that this kind of look only works with traditional chain necklaces, as there are plenty of great layering looks like incorporating a pearl necklace and other bold necklaces too. It is more about experimenting with the lengths of the necklaces than the actual design fluidity between them.

Hoop Earrings

The pair of earrings that you reach for during the fall should always be classic gold hoop earrings! There is just something about a pair of gold hoops that screams autumn, and the dusty gold hue makes them the perfect pieces to reflect the beautiful natural colors of the changing leaves.

Compared to something like a pair of diamond studs, gold hoop earrings just feel more 'warm' and inviting, which is exactly the kind of vibe that you should be aiming to achieve when it comes to putting together the perfect fall ensemble. It's all about those neutral color palettes with a touch of jewelry shine where possible.

Bracelets

 1.00 CT Diamond Tennis Bracelet - 14K White Gold

There is no doubt that a bracelet can be a real statement piece, and this is even more so the case in the fall when longer sleeves are starting to become the go-to garment choice. You want something to add to your outfit that can help to put a stylish period on the end of your wrist and sleeve, and even an everyday piece like a bangle can do the job when selected carefully.

Of course, you can always go in the other direction and opt for a real investment piece like a diamond tennis bracelet. Those are always in fashion no matter what time of the year it happens to be!

The great thing about bracelets, charm bracelets and bangles in particular, is that there is such a variety of metal colors to choose from. There will always be something to complement every kind of fall outfit.

Watches

People forget that watches are a jewelry wardrobe staple even if you choose to look at the time on your cellphone.

Watches are essentially practical pieces of fashion jewelry, so take pride in picking out your timepiece whether it is for a casual outfit or a little black dress event!

The right watch really can provide that all-important finishing touch to a fall ensemble, and on the practical side, you never have to worry about forgetting the time when you have your autumn errands to run.

For maximum style purposes, we recommend opting for a mechanical watch over a smartwatch, as the variety of leather and metal strap options make it much easier to combine the timepiece with the rest of your fall jewelry choices.

Brooches And Pins

Another area of style that people tend to overlook, but things that we think should be part of any essential jewelry collection, are fabulous brooches and pins.

If you look back at any of the Golden Age of Hollywood and vintage fashion photographs, something that the likes of Audrey Hepburn, Coco Chanel and many others had in common was their love of accenting an outfit with a fitting brooch or pin.

If you consider yourself a dedicated jewelry lover but don't have as many pins and brooches in your collection as you should, then fall is the perfect time to dip your toe in and start experimenting.

This is the season where people are going to be wearing jackets and blazers, and nothing accents a blazer quite like a beautiful brooch!

Cocktail Rings

A fun way to show off your personal sense of style all year round, but especially during the fall, is through wearing a number of cocktail rings across your fingers.

The great thing about cocktail rings is that there is such a wide variety of shapes, colors and sizes to explore, it allows you to really experiment and be bold with your choices to accent an autumn outfit choice that might be a little bit more sedate than what you have been wearing during the summer.

Cocktail rings are the ideal accent pieces that don't take up too much real estate on the body like a big necklace pendant might, for example. They provide the perfect opportunity to showcase some of your personality in a small but statement way, especially if you are the kind of person who does a lot of talking and gesturing with their hands on a day to day basis.
