Beaded Chokers –
Plump beads mirroring dinosaur eggs and candy-coated gobstoppers came to life in chokers across a variety of fall collections. At Bottega Veneta, Matthieu Blazy’s bespeckled ceramic collars resembled the works of 20th-century jewelers who drew inspiration from nature, such as Angela Cummings, whose unique beads inlaid with semiprecious stones, like lapis lazuli. Whatever your preference, button collars offer a refreshing way to update simple basics, like your go-to crewneck tee or column dress.
Farmers’ Market –
Tory Burch wasn’t the only designer to bring the farm to the catwalk this season. At Balmain, Olivier Rousteing’s cast of models wore full, fruity earrings, featuring watermelon slices, strawberries, and bundles of grapes, a wink to his upbringing in Bordeaux. From demure pendants to 18k gold banana bunches, these juicy novelties prove the fruit stand is not the only place to get ripe produce this season. Whether you’re looking to add a slice of something new to a charm bracelet or want to infuse your ensembles with a citrus twist, these jewels demonstrate that some treats are meant to be worn, not just packed in the picnic basket.
Floral Fever –
While Carolina Herrera showcased cascading golden blossom earrings. At Miu Miu, crisp 1960s-inspired peacoats were adorned with plots of jewel-dusted daisies, which captured a midcentury modern spirit. From Virginie Viard to Wes Gordon, designers fostered their own crops of perennials and posies for Fall/Winter ’24. Chanel’s signature camellias blossomed in pendants, brooches, earrings, and bracelets; you name it. Whether you’re enchanted by petals dripping with precious gemstones or charmed by lacquered florets, plenty of flowers are primed for picking this month.
Drop Earrings –
Earrings have taken on a life of their own, in shoulder-grazing lengths and sharp geometric shapes. Taking cues from the era that hyperbolized camp style, designers from Saint Laurent to Giorgio Armani showcased angular drop earrings en masse, leveraging a mix of textures such as Lucite and onyx. In Milan, Jil Sander’s crystal-covered fringe earrings exceeded the length of a shoulder-length chop, brushing against the collars of pink and maroon capes. Whether you take a cue from Louis Vuitton and don a pair of chandelier stunners or opt for an earthier drop with stone elements, similar to Carven’s, there are plenty of ways to drop it like it’s hot.
Toy Chest Jewelry –
A jewelry box is an adult’s play chest, especially if it includes toy cars. This fall, yours could too, if you manage to snag a pair of the yellow taxicab earrings that showed at Coach. And even as we wait for those to hit the market, the jewelry world has plenty to offer. This revival of a childhood staple rekindles a sense of nostalgia and brings a spirit of play and imagination to the jewelry box. And what better time to be reminded of childlike wonder than long summer days. From an emerald-encrusted slinky bracelet to a robot pendant necklace, we handpicked a few pieces that evoke that youthful spirit.
Cuff It –
If the runways are any indication, cuffing season will take on new meaning come winter. Take a cue from Saint Laurent and complement a sheer pencil skirt with a translucent stack, or embrace Isabel Marant’s rustic flavor of ’80s maximalism, with a mix of wooden domed bracelets and braided metal.
Buttoned Up –
While drop earrings reached new lengths this season, in another camp, a standout class of round button earrings reflected a lexicon of 20th-century artistic movements, ranging from art deco to midcentury modern. anything that allows you to feel more like a mermaid this time of year is surely a good idea, even if you can’t hear the ocean when you wear them! From classic domed shapes to options with a marine twist, our favorite button earrings are here.
And that’s the end:)
