Five Top Autumn Jewellery Trends to Try This Season

As the temperature drops and the woolly jumpers come out, autumn is the perfect moment to refresh your jewellery. The cooler season brings rich textures, deeper tones and a chance to layer pieces over knitwear and coats. From bold chains to glittering chandelier earrings, the autumn trends are made to add warmth and glamour to a chillier wardrobe. This explainer rounds up five top autumn jewellery trends to try, with ideas from the jewellers of Hatton Garden, London's diamond quarter in the EC1N postcode.

Classic Chains and Statement Pieces

Chains are a perennial autumn favourite, working whether you love a bold, chunky link or a more delicate strand. Chain-link charm bracelets and chunky chain necklaces are easy ways to wear the look over a polo neck or open shirt.

Statement jewellery is an ongoing trend that autumn embraces fully. Big, bold shapes or intricately detailed pieces lift a simple jeans-and-jumper combination, or add instant style to a plain shift dress.

Both trends suit the season's layered dressing, drawing the eye to a single striking piece of contemporary jewellery.

Cuffs and Vintage Charm

Cuff-style bracelets have adorned many a stylish wrist this season. Whether you choose a bright leather cuff with metal detailing or a classic silver or gold band, you will be in very good company.

Vintage pieces remain firmly in fashion too. Whether it is a string of your grandmother's pearls or a characterful old brooch, autumn is the moment to pair genuine antique jewellery with a bold lip for a glamorous, retro look.

Mixing eras like this gives an outfit real personality and a sense of story.

Fun fact: The cuff bracelet is one of the oldest jewellery forms still worn today, with rigid arm bands appearing in ancient Egyptian, Greek and Roman dress thousands of years ago.

Chandelier Earrings for Evening Glamour

For autumn evenings, gem-encrusted chandelier earrings bring all the drama, and the more sparkle the better. Their cascading design catches the light beautifully against darker seasonal clothing.

For a sophisticated finish, diamond and white gold chandelier earrings are hard to beat, lending real elegance to a party look. Coloured stones add warmth for those who prefer a richer palette.

Whichever autumn trend appeals to you, the jewellers of Hatton Garden can help you find the perfect diamonds and pieces to carry your style through the season.
