Fall is upon us, and I can think of no better way to celebrate the biggest fashion season of the year than to indulge in a brand-new bauble or two (or 12?!). While I love an indulgent ready-to-wear trend [1] just as much, or most likely more, than anyone else looking to update their wardrobe for the coming Autumn months, there is nothing quite like a piece of jewelry to really up the ante on any look, day or night. From ladylike pearls (though with a modern twist, of course!) to an update on the rainbow beads [2] of our childhoods, these are the eight jewelry trends you need to know for Fall 2019 and exactly how to shop for them today.
Pearls
Whether you're wearing leather or lace, consider mixing in some of your grandmother's pearls this Fall with an infusion of ladylike layers that will bring just the right touch of elegance to the party. Seek styles that have a slightly modern or head-turning aspect, though, be it varying sizes of pearls, sculptural designs, or unusual shapes.

Beads
Throw it back to childhood with an array of brightly colored beads. Elevate the look from the past by opting for the accessory in metal, enamel, or glass to ensure that the whimsical look will grow with your more sophisticated wardrobe. As such, a brightly toned stack will work well with everything from denim to cocktail dresses this Fall.

Oversize Chains
Bigger is better when it comes to your chains this season, especially in tones of yellow gold. Instead of the more dainty chains that you might have reached for in the past, consider supersizing the geometric and instead stocking up on a more exaggerated size when it comes to your bracelets and necklaces.

Punk
Edgy is the name of the game, whether you're reaching for spikes, striking black diamonds, or hardware-inspired objects to link around your neck and thread through your ears. With particular attention to sleek silver (though we love some gold moments, too!), it's an easy way to stand out while still maintaining that woke-up-like-this attitude.

Cuff Braclcets
Cuff bracelets hold among the richest history of any jewelry trend, dating back centuries. They're back and more elegant than ever, with that chunky look-at-me air that is simultaneously bold and classic. Opt for asymmetrical and artistic shapes to really make your cuff bracelet stand out among the rest.

Anklets
The '90s retro trend is back, and we are adorning our ankles as well as our wrists this Fall. Though you might be opting for more closed-toe footwear over sandals for the coming brisk weather, that doesn't mean you have to leave your anklets behind. Clasp them on over tights, above ankle booties, and styled with everything from pumps to loafers.

Chunky Rings
When it comes to your fingers, grab hold of the bigger and bolder trend that's taking over nearly all aspects of the jewelry trends of the season. From the runway to street style, we are loving oversize and chunky rings that really make a statement. Consider them the cocktail rings of the year, but with a sleek and modern twist, made mostly of mixed metals with a rogue stone or two for detailing.
