Fall 2023's Bold Jewelry Trends: Chunky Necklaces, Oversized Earrings & Wide Cuffs

The leaves are changing colors, the weather is getting cooler, and it's time to transition our wardrobes to richer fabrics and textures. As we pack up the linen and pull out the wool, fall 2023 jewelry trends are providing the perfect accessories to complete our fall style.

This season's jewelry is all about making a statement. While dainty jewelry will always have its place, this year it's out with the delicate and in with the dramatic. Bold, attention-grabbing jewelry in warm metallic tones and earthy gemstones help reflect fall's natural beauty.

Chunky Beaded Gemstone Necklaces

No trend screams fall 2023 more than chunky beaded gemstone necklaces. These substantial statement pieces featuring colorful stones and ornate details are the accessory for fall.

According to Bazaar's recent post "These 5 Fall 2023 Jewelry Trends Will Complete Your Wardrobe" by Tara Gonzalez published on August 24th, 2023, chunky beaded necklaces are perfect for fall layering. A bold necklace over your favorite turtleneck or under the lapel of a blazer amps up any autumn look.

Jewelry designer John S. Brana has some particularly striking gemstone necklace options that capture this trend beautifully:

Square Carnelian Beaded Gemstone Necklace

This necklace features a mix of carnelian, freshwater pearls, carved carnelian flowers, amber, and 24k gold vermeil beads. The clustered strands cascade over six 1.5 inch carnelian beads for an eye-catching look. At 20 inches long, it's the perfect length to stand out over fall layers.

The combination of smooth round beads and intricately carved flowers makes this a go-to statement piece for fall. Pair it with neutrals like black, gray, and camel, or go bold with rich burgundy and emerald green.

Keishi Cornflake Pearl Beaded Gemstone Necklace

Exotic Keishi pearls give this necklace irresistible texture. Lavender, white, cranberry, and light blue Keishi pearls combine with coordinating freshwater pearls. Sea glass, Austrian crystals, and fine silver beads add shimmer.

At 21 inches long, this substantial necklace commands attention. It works as well with business attire as it does with cocktail dresses. Let it take center stage against a simple black turtleneck or make it pop against bold fall hues.

Crystal Quartz Onyx Amber Beaded Gemstone Necklace

Graduated crystal quartz beads give way to freeform amber, glass, onyx, buffalo horn, and lava beads. Scattered 24k gold vermeil beads provide a touch of shine.

Twenty-three inches of mixed natural stones and textures ensure this necklace makes a statement over all your fall layers. It's bold enough to hold its own yet versatile to complement any fall palette.
