Fall 2006 Jewellery trends

Eclectic Chains

We'll continue to see long, multi-layered necklaces consisting of mismatched chains and unusual materials. Opt for larger link chains and unique shapes.

Vintage Style Pendants and Charms

Mixing a little 80s punk with a touch of Victorian Revival, necklaces and some bracelets will feature collections of vintage style charms and found objects. Look for birds in flight, old keys and locks, branches and leaves, coins, and symbols of love and luck like cupids and clovers.

Touchable Texture

Rich textures will continue to be a strong trend this season, so opt for pieces that incorporate fabric, ribbon, cording and bows mixed with metals and beads, but with just a little more subtlety than we've seen in spring and summer designs.

Crosses

Whether it’s used as a charm on a bracelet, a pendant or as part of a multi-layered necklace, crosses are a key look this fall.

What Not To Wear

Avoid over accessorizing. Wearing multiple chunky bead necklaces, big chandelier earrings and piling on bangles are tired and done looks. Move on to one show stopping piece and subtle, accentuating accessories. If you're going to wear a heavy chain necklace, pair it with small drop or stud earrings. Look for more delicate feminine pieces this fall and winter.
