10 Hot Jewelry Trends for Fall/Winter: Get ready to be noticed!

Designers have been busy showing their fall/winter jewelry lines. In a nutshell, get ready to be noticed! Here’s a look at what came down the runways:

1. Bold and chunky: Forget those delicate, lacy pieces—this season, we’re seeing statement pieces, especially oversized, open chain necklaces.
2. Dramatic: Think statement chains of earrings so loooooong they drape over your shoulders, and outrageous chains in chandelier styles.
3. Layers: Wear strand upon strand of chains, pearls, chokers, and other necklaces.
4. Colors: The brighter, the better! We’re talking hoops, tassels, feathers and other pops of reds, greens, and yellows that go beautifully with that little black dress.
5. Sparkling: Let’s be honest, sparkle is always in style around holiday time. And not necessarily diamonds…rhinestones are also making a comeback, according to Vogue.
6. Lucite: Clear or cloudy, this jewelry is back—think chunky, architectural bracelets and rings.
7. Fringe: It’s still hot, but now with metal chains, pearls, and colored gemstones.
8. Pinkies up: Forget the statement cocktail ring—this season, it’s a statement pinky ring.
9. Vintage: Gucci showed large, vintage-style brooches. Time to look through the back of your jewelry boxes for Mom’s or Grandma’s favorite, oversized pins!
10. Other trends: Pieces in top collections included round pearls in chunky necklaces, cameos, and back-to-the-70s boxy, punk-inspired spiky chokers.
