Fall and Winter Fashion Jewelry

By Kate Pullen


The cooler days and darker evenings means that the style-conscious lady's thoughts are turning towards fall and winter fashion jewelry. But what are the best items of jewelry to wear during the chilly winter months?
 Surprisingly, jewelry can be seasonal! Although many items of jewelry have year round appeal, some pieces of jewelry are better suited to certain seasons. Short sleeved blouses and t-shirts, for instance, look great with delicate bracelets and bangles that might otherwise get hidden from view under jumpers and sweaters. A heavyweight brooch will look stunning on a woolen jacket, yet would pull a light silk jacket out of shape. Almost without knowing it, many people naturally gravitate to specific types of jewelry to fit the season.

Best Types of Fall and Winter Fashion Jewelry

The cooler months of fall and winter are the time to wrap up warmly! Jumpers, sweaters and cardigans replace summer tops and hats, scarves and gloves can be seasonal essentials. Finding the right fashion jewelry that will look great with a winter wardrobe is very much down to personal style. There are a few guidelines, however, that will help create a winter look that is both stylish and practical.

Big and Bold

The fall and winter are the times to think big and bold when it comes to jewelry. Now is not the time to be wearing tiny delicate earrings or pendants. Very small items of jewelry will get hidden under layers of heavy woolen jumpers and scarves therefore for an item of fall and winter fashion jewelry to really show it needs to be relatively large.

Colorful

A few accent pieces of jewelry in bright and vibrant shades can bring a touch of glamor to a winter wardrobe. Many winter clothes are dark or neutral in color - add a splash of red or turquoise for a really stunning effect. A beautiful ring for instance with a bright gemstone cabochon can add just the right amount of contrasting color to lift an otherwise dull outfit and give some added interest to an overall image. There are many naturally colored gemstones that will look great for winter wear. The mauves and purples of amethyst for instance look great with neutral shades as well as darker colors.

Sparkle

Fall and winter fashion jewelry also needs a bit of a sparkle to make it really stand out! Even fairly small earrings or necklaces can stand out from a winter outfit if there is a sparkling stone or bead to catch the eye. Winter is the perfect time to wear stones with a special sparkle and this needn't be just for the Holiday season. One thing to remember, however, when picking fashion jewelry with crystals or other sparkling stones is that less is more! A couple of accent pieces work best and gives a very effective look.

Unusual Jewelry

Winter is also a great time to think about more unusual fashion jewelry and perhaps consider some different ways to wear jewelry, taking advantage of the season. Hats, for instance, create a wonderful opportunity to show off jewelry in a more unusual way. Small brooches or pins can be used to decorate a hat and can turn even a plain knitted hat into something a little special. Strings of beads can be worn around the wrist as a bracelet or small charms hung from bags. Belts also offer an interesting way to add glamor to an outfit and many stylish people can be seen with jewelry charms attached to a belt buckle.
