Gold, garnet and pearls - the top jewelry trends of autumn 2024
Blue and sky colors have become the legacy of the summer season, so in autumn topazes of delicate and saturated shades of sky and swiss remain the jewelry trend. Earrings with an English lock, rings and delicate pendants with these precious stones look perfect with an autumn range of cozy beige and warm brown shades.
Burgundy or crimson-red shades, represented in the jewelry line by bright garnets, became another color accent of autumn. The most fashionable this season will be massive models with large stones, noticeable rings or pendants.
According to Fomina, refreshing pearls will also add light to cloudy autumn days: this autumn they are worn in feminine looks, and in the style of sports chic, and in the office.
Transparent cubic zirconia and products with crystal tracks are also on trend this fall. The stylist recommends choosing discreet models that will be a profitable investment in a jewelry wardrobe, for example, carnations with crystal chains, basic earrings with an English lock and crystals or drop pendants.
The main metal of the season is gold in a warm yellow or pink shade. The stylist also recommends paying attention to massive bracelets of strong weave or ring earrings with notches.
