Fall Jewelry Trends: Colors, Gemstones, and Styles to Know

Fall is here, and you know what that means! Time to swap out summer accessories for cozy layers, warm hues, and bold jewelry that warms you on those crisp, colder days. As a jewelry maker (and jewelry lover), but someone who is known to stick to the same couple of tried and true pieces, I’m always excited to see how the changing season will inspire me to try new styles.

Fall jewelry trends are often all about earthy gemstones, nostalgic charm details, and versatile layering pieces you can wear from pumpkin patches to holiday parties.

I put together this guide to help you know what’s you can never go wrong with when it comes to colors, gemstones, and styles, and how you can make them your own with handmade jewelry that feels personal and meaningful.

Fall Jewelry Colors

The fall seasonal palette is cozy, bold, and a little moody (in the best way). Think rich jewel tones paired with grounding neutrals. Here are the colors you’ll see everywhere:

• Deep Amber & Burnt Orange – Perfect for capturing the glow of autumn leaves. Carnelian and mango agate beads are the gemstones for this shade family. Check out these beaded necklaces that help bring out that warm, glowing orange tone that instantly feels fall-ready.

• Forest Green – Green jewelry always seem to be trending, especially with gemstones like moss agate, jade, and chrysoprase. They’re grounding and earthy, ideal for fall layering.

• Golden Neutrals – Gold can, and should, be worn all year long, but once we hit the 'ber' months, it’s showing up in chunkier chains and mixed with playful charms. My gold-plated stainless steel chains are a perfect example of how to wear this look daily.

• Smoky Black & Charcoal – Black tourmaline and obsidian are trending for both their grounding energy and edgy style. Pair them with fall textures like knits, light neutrals like cream and beige, and leather for an effortless look.

Gemstones to Wear in the Fall

Fall is all about gemstones with character. The kind that feel like tiny works of art in themselves. Here are my top picks:

• Carnelian – A fiery orange stone that embodies motivation and confidence. You’ll find it in my chunky carnelian necklaces, which look incredible with fall neutrals.

• Moss Agate – With its green inclusions that look like tiny forests, this stone is not only perfect for nature lovers, but great for the fall with its dark green hues. My moss agate earrings add a subtle yet earthy pop of color.

• Black Tourmaline – Not only protective in a spiritual sense, but also chic for styling! I’ve paired it with a tarot charm for a piece that feels both mystical and modern.

• Ocean Jasper – This stone comes in soft swirls of green, cream, and brown, making it a perfect complement to cozy fall layers.

Styles You’ll See Everywhere

Beyond color and gemstones, the way jewelry is styled this season matters. Here are the looks worth trying:

• Chunky Chains with a Twist – Think bold gold chains with playful charm add-ons. 

• Layering Magic – Layering isn’t new, but this fall it’s all about mixing textures. Pair a delicate gemstone strand with a chunky chain for balance. Try combining one of my gemstone chokers with a longer stainless steel chain for that effortless layered look.

• Sleek and Minimalist Earrings – Fall fashion is often cozy and minimal, with sleek and small earrings so that beaded necklaces can be the star of the show. My stainless steel hoop earrings are must have staple!

• Charm Storytelling – Jewelry that tells a story is big EVERY season, from personal symbols to seasonal motifs. My ALS Necklace Collection is a perfect example of jewelry with meaning, where every piece gives back to ALS research.

How to Style Handmade Jewelry This Fall

Here’s my favorite tip: let your jewelry do the talking. If your outfit is simple (think cozy knits, jeans, and boots), go bold with a chunky necklace. If your outfit already has a lot of pattern or texture, balance it with a delicate ALS charm necklace or stainless steel hoop earrings.

And don’t be afraid to mix metals and textures! Gold chains with beaded gemstone necklaces really are the perfect pair.

Fall jewelry in 2025 is about bold colors, earthy gemstones, and playful yet meaningful details. Whether you’re drawn to glowing carnelian, grounding moss agate, or mystical black tourmaline, this season’s styles are about expressing yourself while staying cozy and chic.
