It’s
autumn! That means it’s time to refresh your fall wardrobe and update
it with this year’s latest looks. One of the easiest ways to give your
closet a new look is to add a few pieces of artisan made jewellery
to your jewelry box. Necklaces, bracelets and earrings in this season’s
hottest colors and patterns bring a fresh look to even your most dated
little black dress and suit jacket. Not sure what you should buy? Here
are a few of the autumn’s most versatile jewelry looks to consider.
Beads
Gemstone
jewelry is still a big player on the runways, but beads are taking up
most of the spotlight. Fun and funky beads make their appearance in
necklaces, where they’re huge, angled and painted in colors that go with
all of your outfits. Bracelets, on the other hand, sport row upon row
of seed beads shaped into mosaics or randomly wound into bangles.
Shoulder duster earrings are also high on the list of glam fashion
artisan made jewellery, with crystal beads and stamped metal charms
dangling on silver chains.
The Long and Short of It
While
earrings are longer and more ostentatious than they have been in years,
necklaces have definitely shortened. After a few seasons of chains that
fall to the waist and below, this year’s necklaces and pendants hit
just above the breastbone. That makes them absolutely perfect to wear
with both modest necklines and off-the-shoulder styles. They also look
great with suit blazers and unconstructed blazers.
Wrist Action
Bracelets
are all over the runways this season – and all up and down your arms.
Some of the hottest bracelet styles this season are hand-beaded bangle
bracelets in tribal patterns and animal prints and thin bangles worn in
triplets and more. Sleeveless dresses get a major update when you pair
them up with arm cuffs worn above the elbow or strings of beads wound in
a spiral around your upper arm.
Gemstone Rings
Flashy and splashy are the two words that best describe the trend in rings. Gemstone rings
and birthstone rings are as popular as ever, but there are also offbeat
styles making fashion news. Cocktail rings, with huge oblong and oval
stones, worn on the index finger or middle finger call attention to fab
manicures and are the perfect accent for evening wear and hitting the club scene.
If
you’re looking for a quick and easy way to update your fall wardrobe,
spark it up with artisan made jewellery and one-of-a-kind fashion
jewelry finds. It’s an instant update that’s far more affordable than a
whole new wardrobe.
