This year’s jewelry may be all about going all out with large jewels, smart geometric designs, and bold color, but the elegant costume jewelry trend using these various designs shouldn’t make you feel like you are ready for Halloween just yet. With this season’s high fashion, colors, and styles; your jewelry will make you feel classy and chic for the fall season.

 

Precious Metals

2013 has so far been a year with heavy metal styles such as bib necklaces and bright gems. Bib necklaces are a great choice for costume jewelry because they are anything but simple and make a bold statement from day to night; in the office or for a night out on the weekend. Bib necklaces are especially popular with different types of metals including gold, silver, and rose gold which is specifically making a comeback this season in fashion. Turtlenecks are also coming back and a bib necklace can help pull your look together so you don’t have to look too uptight and strict as a stereotypical librarian might look.

Gems, spikes, or animals such as cats and owls can be found with metal statement jewelry as well with just the right amount of details without going overboard. On the runway, designers are showcasing bib necklaces by having their models tuck their hair under, not over the piece of jewelry to show off every single bit of detail that creates a focus on the neckline.

 

Punk Rock

Another popular piece of jewelry that uses different types of metals this fall is the revival of the 90s choker. As a part of the punk glam-grunge look, chokers with chains or studs and spikes made out of metal can be found on the runway.

 

Mismatched Earrings

No, this look is not meant to look like you rolled out of bed and quickly grabbed any earrings to wear to accessorize your outfit. Try wearing two different earrings with similar styles such as the color of the metal or gems to follow this trend. Pair two different studs, two different drop earrings or mix one with the other if you wish. A solid color stud and a drop earring with at least of a bit of the same color go really well together. If you are going for the punk look, wear two different earrings with similar spike styles. If you have multiple piercings; line them up with different earrings from multiple sets instead of sticking to the singular set that you purchased.

 

The More, the Merrier

Too many layers of necklaces, bracelets, and rings may make a person look like they are drowning in accessories. But if you keep it simple and not too overdone, a couple of key pieces to mix and match will help you stand out in the crowd. Several accessories can look elegant if you pair it with a simple outfit. Try to wear a top that is a single color instead of a large graphic design if you plan to layer necklaces. Wear something with short sleeves to show off what is on your wrists and fingers. Avoid bold designs of stripes and polka dots if you wish to wear plenty of accessories so your outfit is not too busy and your look does not lose focus with too many different trends at once that fight for attention.

 

Knuckle Rings

More precisely titled first-knuckle or midi rings, this recent trend is a good way to layer even more jewelry and add to your look. These rings fit just enough to stay secure on the first half of your finger and not worn over the knuckle. These rings are simpler and not extravagant compared to other rings with just a band design or a small stone.

Lace-Inspired Jewelry

Accessorizing with lace does not have to match your grandma’s curtains. Instead of using only the intricate cloth for accessorizing, designers are creating metal jewelry with lace-inspired patterns. Tiny or extravagant detailed pieces with different metals and jewel tones can be found on the runway and real life. Edgy, glam, or girly; many different looks can be created with lace in mind.

Pearls

Another classic look that can be found on the runways are pearls and to be honest, do these gems really ever go out of style? Pearls may remind you of the earring and necklace set that your grandma wears, but no one can go wrong with a classic set of pearls as a part of their wardrobe.

Accessorize White With Color

Despite the popular rule of “no white after Labor Day,” expect to see plenty of it this fall. With a blank canvas, you can spice your look up with plenty of colorful accessories or keep it chic and simple with fewer accessories if you wish. With the freedom of not worrying if you should choose silver or gold and different colored jewels to match the colors of your outfit, you have many options to create a look for any occasion. The only thing that can go wrong with wearing too much white is if you accidently get enough spills of spaghetti sauce to make it look like you are a part of a horror film.

Revolutionizing from the looks of spring and summer 2013, the jewelry trends for fall 2013 are all about elegant costume jewelry designs that won’t go overboard. Make a bold statement with any one of these pieces and you will be ready for the fall season.
