As seen on the runways of Marc Jacobs and Burberry, fall jewelry trends are all about making a statement. From necklaces to bracelets, it's all about big crystals that add shine and bold, accenting jewelry to add a touch of color. This season, bigger is better and these pieces add a fashionable touch to any outfit, whether it's casual for daytime or glam for a night out.
One main trend seen on the fall runways are necklaces with oversized and multicolored crystals. Try a Smoky Quartz Pendant Necklace (Banana Republic, $49) for day or night. For those in search of a simpler version with smaller crystals, try the Gimigliano Necklace (Aldo, $15).
Another great option is a dramatic black crystal necklace such as the Beaded Ribbon Necklace (Gap, $29.50). These bold pieces look great with simple clothes like a strapless dress or a shirt that exposes the neck.
Bracelets are also dramatic this season. Just like necklaces, they can be worn with a casual outfit, either to school or the office. A perfect match to crystal-adorned bracelets, such as those seen in Burberry's Fall Collection, is the Hackwell Bracelet (Aldo, $15). Keep in mind that when wearing crystals, be sure to wear only one bracelet or necklace, otherwise the look will seem cluttered.
If crystals aren't your style, there are other fashionable bracelet alternatives that will compliment your outfit. Bangles look great when they are worn in sets of three or more. The Lacquered Bangle Set (Forever 21, $6.80) is a nice match. For something more glam, try pairing bangles with a crystal animal bangle, such as the Errona Bracelet (Aldo, $40).
Another popular jewelry trend seen on the runways of Ralph Lauren and on celebrities like Kim Kardashian, are stacks of gold bangles. While making a bold statement, the trend looks sophisticated. For this look, try street vendors in Soho for unique selections and be sure to bargain to get the most bangles for your buck.
For rings this fall, it's all about big and detailed rocks. A great match to the black crystal necklace is a black Cabochon Cluster Ring (Banana Republic, $39). For the gold trend in rings, try a gold flower ring (Urban Outfitters, $12) that will complement your set of gold bangles.
From rings to bracelets to bangles, jewelry accents this fall are sure to add some flash to the season of foliage. Although these statement pieces are trendy right now, you can change them up to fit your personal style once they're out of style.
