Fall Jewelry Trends

For summer, jewelry is one way to add interest to more simplistic, heat-beating outfits. For fall looks, jewelry is about bold statements with layered necklaces, big beads, and chunky chains. Let’s do a rundown of the upcoming jewelry trends for fall.

First up are lariat necklaces. Think of a lariat as the autumnal equivalent of a tassel necklace from earlier in the summer. For a simple gold with a bit of whimsy, there’s the LC Lauren Conrad Gold Blooms Lariat Necklace available at Kohl’s, featuring floral details on the chain and at the center. For something a bit more glamorous, there’s Vince Camuto’s Lariat Chain Necklace at Nordstrom Rack with a linked chain and beadwork. With lariats, be mindful of your neckline; you don’t want the details of this unique necklace silhouette to get lost in a button-up or crew neck. Go for a V-neck to mimic the lariat’s length, or with cold weather, create a blank canvas with a turtleneck.

You can wear a lariat necklace on its own for an elegant look. For something a bit more eclectic, since fall is the quintessential season for eclecticists, wear it as part of a layered necklace stack. Stacking necklaces can be done with pieces you already have; start with a chain that lies on the collarbone, then reach for a pendant that falls to your sternum, and then add longer chains or beaded necklaces. Five “layers” max, so you don’t look too eclectic, verging on kooky, and to give your neck a break. Of course, you can pick up pieces pre-layered, like Free People’s Hailee Semiprecious Layered Beaded Necklace, which also hits the big-bead trend. For something more delicate but still quirky, there’s Loft’s Lucky Clever Layered Necklace Set. Both layered pieces come as one necklace, but you can also pick up “sets” of separate pieces like Urban Outfitters’ Long Lariat Layering Necklace, which just so happens to feature a lariat in the layers. Sets that come in more than one piece let you wear them on their own or mix and match.

Next up, big beads. Beads have been in and out of the trend cycle for so many years now. The latest iteration for the fall moves away from the kitschy friendship bracelets of seasons past and feels a little more mature. Bauble Bar’s Janette Beaded Ring Necklace, available in a variety of colors, feels polished, yet vibrant with resin beads and a round-cut crystal inside the collector ring in the center. Beads have a magical ability to inject fun into outfits that might otherwise feel quiet. And when supersized, they feel a bit more elegant and less crafty.

Beads aren’t the only pieces getting sized up. Chunky gold chain necklaces are another statement piece trending this autumn. Macy’s Adorina Chunky Curb Chain Necklace hits the style nail on the head with its bold chunky links crafted in a lightweight design, so it doesn’t wear as heavy as it looks, but makes quite the impact when worn on its own and even more so when paired with its matching bracelet. Or check out Summit Adventure’s Boho Choker Gold Cuban Link Necklace at Target. This has a bit of a younger feel, so it works best with casual outfits. But really you can wear a gold chain with just about any look.

And lastly, bubble-like dome rings are this fall’s trendiest hand jewelry. I’ve had a NOA Gold Dome Ring from Ana Luisa for several years and love wearing it solo or with its coordinated bangle. However, I haven’t worn it much in the warmer weather. So, I’m very much ready to transition away from daintier rings to this more solid option. There’s also Avaira’s Navia Gold Ring, which you can pick up in silver for a sleeker take on this trend. Or move away from metals entirely with Sahira’s Katy Acrylic Ring in brown, featuring a vibrant yellow stone for all the fall feels.

So, while we’re still in the midst of summer, it’s been feeling autumnal here in the mornings. Time to think about what lies ahead in the fall, style-wise, and what’s more fun than greeting a new season with new jewelry!
