Pearls will always be an essential part of any jewelry collection, but they're popping up in an unexpected way this season. We're seeing a break from traditional pearl jewelry—like long strands and simple studs—in favor of more modern takes that make an edgier statement.

The rainbow jewelry trend made a major splash this summer and colored gemstones are here today. Bright citrine, bold rubies, and a technicolor array of sapphires are adding color to our jewelry collections and are a refreshing departure from classic diamonds.

This statement-making material is reintroducing itself in playful ways this season. Add a pop of color to your jewelry lineup with beautiful turquoise accents.

Beads are back in a big way this season. Add some texture to your wrist or ring stack with a beaded accessory or opt for bead chain front-to-back studs for an unexpected look.

Going bold with gold is the preferred approach to accessorizing this season, especially with wrist, ring, or necklace stacks. Pieces boasting thicker designs are becoming popular and layering them makes them even more eye-catching.

Along with the more daring styles mentioned above, chunky chains are cropping up as a bolder alternative to barely-there numbers. These pieces stand out when mixed in with fall layers like cable knit sweaters and oversize scarves.
