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

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

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.

Oversized Drop Earrings

Another major fall 2023 trend according to Cosmopolitan’s recent post "The 5 Biggest Fall 2023 Jewelry Trends to Wear as Soon as Humanly Possible" by Danielle Flum published on September 8th, 2023 are oversized drop earrings. These attention-grabbing earrings are an effortless way to elevate any outfit.

Pierced Hammered Bronze Arabesque Flower Earrings

At over two inches long, these bronze beauties certainly qualify as oversized. The hammered bronze has an exotic, floral shape sure to turn heads. A protective coating prevents tarnish so you can enjoy their shine.

Make these boho earrings the focal point of your look by pairing them with simple hairstyles and makeup. They’re perfect for date nights, parties, and anytime you want to make a dramatic statement.

Large Hammered Bronze Teardrop Earrings

A wider, more triangular shape gives these teardrops a modern vibe. Hammered bronze adds mesmerizing shine. At over two inches long, they demand attention.

Let these substantial earrings do the talking by keeping the rest of your look minimal. Pull hair back to show them off and use them to elevate basic fall staples like jeans, sweaters, and leather jackets.

Pierced Large Oval Hammered Aluminum Drop Earrings

Pierced Large Oval Hammered Aluminum Drop Earrings

At three inches long, these lightweight aluminum earrings make a seriously bold statement. The hammered finish catches the light beautifully. Their hypoallergenic stainless steel wires ensure comfortable wear.

These earrings work perfectly for day or night. For day, let them add some edge to feminine dresses and flirty skirts. At night, use them to amp up the drama of your going-out looks. Their versatility makes them an effortless way to shake up all your fall outfits.

1 3/4 Inch Wide Hammered Stainless Steel Cuff Bracelet on Woman's Wrist

Wide Cuff Bracelets

What better way to accessorize fall’s focus on sleeves than with wide cuff bracelets? These substantial bracelets lend both texture and color to complete seasonal looks.

Both Bazaar's August 24th, 2023 "Arm Cuffs Like Cleopatra" and Cosmopolitan's September 8th, 2023 trend piece cited wide cuffs as a top trend for fall. Whether layered with delicate bracelets or worn solo, wide cuffs make wrists impossible to ignore.

Brushed Anticlastic Bronze Cuff Bracelet

Brushed Anticlastic Bronze Cuff Bracelet

At almost two inches wide, this brushed bronze cuff epitomizes the wide bracelet trend. Its unique anticlastic design and uncoated bronze will develop a patina for more personalized wear over time.

Make this cuff the star of your wrist stack by pairing it with complementing thin bangles. Its versatility also allows it to be worn alone for a bold singular statement. Let it ground flowy peasant blouses or complement the sleeves of chunky knits.

1 3/4 Inch Wide Hammered 14K Gold-filled Cuff Bracelet

Hammered 14K Gold-Filled Cuff Bracelet

This 14k gold-filled cuff brings all the richness of gold without the expense. At 1 3⁄4 inches wide, the hammered finish adds appealing texture. It comes in sizes for all wrists and is easy to slip on and off.

Elevate your fall style by layering this luxe gold bracelet with thinner gold bangles. Or wear it solo to let it command attention. It dresses up any long-sleeved fall outfit, from turtlenecks and blazers to cocktail dresses. The gold tone also perfectly complements fall’s array of blacks, grays, browns, and jewel tones.

Wide Aluminum Bark Cuff

Aluminum Bark Cuff

Hammering and metal chasing bring this aluminum cuff’s eye-catching bark texture to life. The organic look is offset by the sleek silver tone of the aluminum. At 1 1⁄2 inches wide, it makes wrists impossible to overlook.

This cuff’s nature-inspired look works beautifully for fall. Contrast it with the sleeves of your favorite chunky sweaters or let it add interest to solid colored tops. Its textured look also pairs effortlessly with fall’s popular plaids, tweeds, and prints.

Fall into the Statement Jewelry Trend

This fall, it’s all about standing out with statement-making jewelry. Bold gemstone necklaces, dramatic drop earrings, and substantial wide cuffs are this season's top trends. Jewelry is one of the easiest ways to refresh your fall style.

Rather than blending in, let your jewelry speak up with vibrant colors, interesting textures, and eye-catching proportions. Pick one showstopping cuff or choker and let it take center stage. Or get creative mixing various oversized pieces for a more eclectic dimensional look.

Whatever your personal style, these fall 2023 jewelry trends offer countless options to help you make a memorable fashion statement.
