Fall Jewelry Essentials from Independent Contemporary Designers
The air gets crisper as the leaves turn warm shades signaling that autumn is here. We break out our cozy knits, our long sleeve white shirts, leather jackets, and our pant suits for going back to work, after a short season of going sleeveless and lightweight on vacations and spending time traveling, sightseeing or chilling by a pool. Spring might be the season of renenwal and rebirth. But it isn’t the only time of year when we can transform, switch directions or making changes in our lives. Contemporary designers are creating looks that signal the start of something new, that give a nod to beauty of reds, rusts, browns and oranges of the changing leaves, or that are bold enough to stand out when we get dressed in our favorite fall fashion staples: sweaters, scarfs and turtlenecks. Here are some of the essential jewels that will elevate your clothes and your existing jewelry wardrobe as you chart your course for a new season and get ready for a new year ahead!
