Jewelry We Love for Fall: Exciting Styles to Elevate Your Autumn Look

Autumn Jewelry Ideas: Embrace the Season with Stunning Pieces

Ahhh Autumn - The leaves change color, the air turns crisp and the smell of pumpkin spice surrounds you...everywhere. We also happen to think it's the perfect season to refresh your jewelry collection with pieces that capture that incredible essence. Autumn brings with it a unique color palette—those gorgeous rich oranges, deep reds, earthy browns, and warm golds. These are the hues that not only reflect the beauty of the season but also complement the excitement of sweater and leather weather. With the saturated hues of the season, it doesn’t matter if you prefer subtle elegance or bold statements, exploring jewelry for fall offers endless possibilities to enhance the season.

Today we’re going to talk all things colors, trends and pieces for the Fall 2024 season. 

Embracing Fall Colors 

Fall is all about embracing nature’s warm and inviting colors. The most popular hues for fall jewelry include shades of orange, brown, red, gold, and burgundy. These colors reflect the changing leaves and the cozy ambiance of the season, making them perfect choices for autumn jewelry.

Orange and Amber Hues
Orange, in all its shades from burnt sienna to pumpkin, is a quintessential autumn color. Accessories in warm, honeyed tones bring a cozy, seasonal flair to your fall wardrobe. Whether you choose a pair of earrings or a pendant necklace in deep orange hues, these shades capture the warmth and essence of the season. They pair beautifully with natural fabrics like wool, cashmere, and leather, adding a touch of elegance to your cozy fall outfits.

Earthy Browns
Browns, from chestnut to chocolate, evoke the grounding, organic beauty of autumn. Jewelry in these deep, rich tones adds a depth of sophistication to your look. Earrings in these rich brown shades blend seamlessly with both casual and more formal looks and bring an air of refined mystery to the wearer. Earthy browns also serve as versatile neutrals, pairing effortlessly with any autumn palette. One of our favorite ways to wear browns this season is with cameos - they are timeless, yet are full of so much history and flair that they are sure to be a conversation starter. 

Warm Golds
Golden hues, reminiscent of autumn sunsets, are the perfect complement to fall’s rich color palette. Jewelry with gold or golden-toned accents can elevate any fall outfit, adding a radiant, glowing touch. We love a warm gold necklace or ring to create an effortless elegance - during fall or really any other season! 

Fall 2024 Trends 

Animal Prints

Animal prints are a timeless trend that makes a bold statement. From classic leopard and cheetah prints to zebra stripes and snakeskin patterns, these prints add a touch of wild elegance to your wardrobe. As temperatures drop and layers become essential, animal prints stand out as a versatile pattern that can be both edgy and chic. The key to mastering this trend is balance, especially when it comes to accessories.

When thinking about what kind of jewelry to pair with animal print, the goal is to complement the look without overpowering it. Take color cues from the print itself—think deep golds, rich browns, or blacks to mirror the tones in leopard and cheetah prints. For zebra stripes, consider sleek silver or white gold pieces to highlight the monochromatic palette. Jewelry in earthy hues, like amber, smoky quartz, or tortoiseshell-inspired designs, work well with animal prints, adding texture without creating visual overload.

To keep the overall look cohesive, opt for simpler jewelry styles, such as stud earrings or delicate necklaces, that enhance rather than compete with the boldness of the print. This being said, if your vibe is a bit cheekier, we’ve never said no to an animal inspired piece of jewelry atop an animal print. If that’s more you - go for it. 

Denim on Denim 

The "denim on denim" trend, often referred to as the "Canadian tuxedo," has made a stylish comeback for fall, offering a cool, laid-back vibe that's perfect for the season. Whether you're mixing light and dark washes or going full monochrome, denim-on-denim outfits are effortlessly chic and versatile. The key to elevating this look is in the accessories, and jewelry can play a pivotal role in making the denim hues truly stand out.

Incorporating blue stones into your jewelry is a subtle yet effective way to enhance the denim-on-denim aesthetic. A splash of blue in your earrings, rings, or necklaces can complement the tones of the denim, creating a cohesive, polished look. Stones like sapphires, blue topaz, or aquamarine can add just the right amount of color, making the different shades of your denim pop without feeling overwhelming. A delicate sapphire pendant or a pair of lapis lazuli studs can mirror the hues of the fabric and provide a refined touch of sophistication.

However, less is more when it comes to accessorizing denim-on-denim. Overloading the look with too many blue stones can create a matchy-matchy feel that takes away from the effortless style of the trend. Instead, choose one or two key pieces of blue jewelry that subtly highlight the shades of denim, letting the natural texture and depth of the fabric sing while your jewelry offers a complementary finish.

Modern Prep

The "modern prep" trend brings a fresh take to classic, preppy style, blending timeless staples with a bit of contemporary flair. Think crisp blazers, tailored trousers, and pleated skirts paired with polished accessories to create a refined look that’s just a bit undone. While the essence of prep remains rooted in traditional elements, updating this trend with modern twists allows for a fresh and stylish interpretation.

When it comes to jewelry, classic pieces like pearl studs and tennis necklaces are iconic within preppy fashion. However, giving these staples a modern edge is key to pulling off this updated look. Pearl studs, for instance, can take on a contemporary feel when set in unique shapes or paired with metals like rose gold or oxidized silver, creating an unexpected contrast to the traditional pearl. Opt for oversized pearls or mismatched earrings to add a modern, playful touch without losing the elegance.

Tennis necklaces, known for their clean, symmetrical lines, can also be updated for a more current vibe. Layering them with other necklaces, mixing metals, or even choosing pieces with slightly irregular stones brings a fresh dimension to this classic accessory. Pairing these jewelry pieces with modern prep outfits—like a sleek, oversized blazer or a cropped sweater—strikes the perfect balance between old-school charm and contemporary style.

The key to the modern prep trend is keeping the look polished while infusing just enough modernity to make it feel fresh, sophisticated, and distinctly your own.

The Brooch is Back 

One of our absolute favorite fall accessories is the brooch. A brooch effortlessly blends style and versatility. As the weather cools and layers become essential, brooches offer a chic way to add a personal touch to your wardrobe. Whether worn on a jacket lapel, a cozy scarf, or even a handbag, brooches instantly elevate any look, transforming simple fall outfits into polished ensembles.

One of the greatest appeals of a brooch is its adaptability. Pinning one onto a classic fall coat or jacket adds a pop of personality and elegance, while a brooch on a chunky scarf offers a stylish way to secure the fabric while adding flair. For a more unexpected twist, try attaching a brooch to the strap of a leather or wool bag, turning it into a statement piece. Brooches also work beautifully on sweaters, knitwear, and hats, adding a sophisticated detail that captures the warmth and charm of fall fashion.

Tips for Styling Fall Jewelry

When styling fall jewelry, consider the colors and textures of your clothing. Here are some tips to help you create a cohesive look:

Coordinate with Your Wardrobe: Choose jewelry that complements the colors of your clothing. For example, pair a garnet necklace with a burgundy sweater or amber earrings with an earthy-toned dress.

Mix Metals and Gemstones: Don’t be afraid to mix different metals and gemstones. A combination of gold, bronze, and silver can add dimension to your look, while mixing gemstones in complementary colors can create a harmonious effect.

Layer for Depth: Layering necklaces and bracelets can add depth and interest to your look. Try layering fall necklaces with different lengths and styles or stacking rings with complementary colors.

Fall is a season of warmth, coziness, and natural beauty, and your jewelry should reflect these qualities. From soft autumn earrings to bold deep autumn necklaces, there are endless ways to incorporate fall jewelry trends into your wardrobe. Embrace the warm, rich hues of the season with estate jewelry that enhances your natural beauty and complements your autumn style. Whether you’re looking for subtle elegance or bold statements, autumn jewelry offers something for everyone.
