So I have been doing my research on what will be the hottest trends in Jewelry this fall, and I have found a lot of conflicting reports. However, I have found the trends that every report agrees on and what I found to be the most popular on the runways. (mind you... runways are always over the top but you can take the basic idea and apply it to everyday life of us "normal" or "average" people!)
So here are the Top Trends I found:
STATEMENT CHAINS - Basically big chunky, bold chains. Heavy chains with pendants, adorned links and heavy metals (silver, gold, rose, or oxidized metals) Long or short but it still says "Look at me I'm a Chain and proud of it." Just make sure to think bold!
DUSTER EARRINGS - What do I mean by Duster? I mean they come just a hair above the shoulder, so that they still move freely but long enough to just skim the top of the shoulder. I do not recommend these for everyone. Remember, if you have a long thin face, earrings like these can make your face look even longer. Also these earrings are so long I wouldn't wear a necklace. For one, they may tangle and two, they will compete with each other instead of standing out. Opt for the duster earrings and a statement bracelet!
LAYERS, LAYERS AND MORE LAYERS - The fad of layered necklaces is another of the popular fall jewelry trend. However, this trend is not just for necklaces anymore! Try going bold by wearing a large cuff and a few other chain or beaded bracelets with it. The bolder the better!
MIX MEDIA - We already know that layers are IN, but if you are ready to take that next step in your layers then mix it up! Mix your chains with strands of pearls or gemstone necklaces. Or mix your metals. Silver with gold, copper or gun metal! With mix media you really can't go wrong as long you can have fun with it!
MOTIF - Are you into animals? Or maybe flowers are your thing? Well this season why not add them to your wardrobe? Before I get into trouble with PETA, I don't mean real animals! This season we will see jewelry done in animal motifs, Birds, Snakes, Dragons even Elephants and Butterflies. What better way to "do you" then with the animals or flowers you love! Just do a piece here or there just to personalize your look!
X-LARGE CUFFS - Looks like the cuff, is sticking around for another season, and it looks like they are getting larger! Remember even if you are wearing a large cuff feel free to add to it!!!
LARGE PENDANT NECKLACES - Are you seeing a pattern yet? I am! BOLD BOLD BOLD! Mix them with chains, mix them with beads, just add one and you'll be set!
RETRO or VINTAGE WITH MODERN ELEMENTS - OK, remember as kids we would raid our grandmother's jewelry boxes? You would always find that one piece of jewelry you loved, but it was too old fashioned to wear. Well take it out now and add it to a modern element and you'll be right in style! How about that large antique pin hanging from a chain or even better a leather cord. Use your imagination!
I hope this helps you when putting together that new fall wardrobe, or the edge you need in an old one!
