The jewelry trends for fall 2023 and beyond have officially landed. We've been keeping our eyes trained on the latest and greatest jewelry debuts over the last few months, and this roster of sparkling beauties is brilliant.

Fall Jewelry Trends for 2023

Charms

Charms, such as talismans and amulets from the Bronze Age and Ancient Egypt, have long made their way onto the wrists of their collectors. Today, charms still hold their playful appeal. Whether worn as a way to commemorate one's travels, to remember a special moment, or just collected and passed down from family member to family member, charms come back to the forefront as one of the most personal pieces of jewelry one can have.

Take Verdura's initial charm bracelet, for example, where initials of loved ones or pets can adorn this twisted link chain for an elevated way to remember your crew.

Jewelry Timepieces

Timepieces that have a more jewelry-like bent to them are rising to the top. Whether it's watches that feature gems around the case or on the bracelet, show interesting stones on the dial, or are just more decorative in appearance, these timepieces are a glamorous way to tell time.

Piaget's Limelight high jewelry watch features turquoise on the dial with a hand-engraved bracelet, whereas Van Cleef & Arpels's Ludo Secret watch boasts a totally gem-set look until the top is opened to reveal a watch beneath.

Amethyst

Amethyst has been around since as early as 2,000 B.C., when the stones were used to keep the wearer quick on their feet, and English royals used them to signify their status during the Middle Ages. While amethyst has been quiet on the jewelry scene the last few years, it's making a strong comeback this fall.

Maybe it's the shift to cooler temperatures and richer colors, but whether in statement pieces or done in more subtle ways, the pretty purple hue is a colorful addition to your jewelry box. Take Elizabeth Locke's amethyst cushion-cut ring—it's fit for royalty, indeed.

Beads

Beads have been used in jewelry since practically the beginning of time—first to trade, and then as a status symbol for kings, priests, and others who were considered to have a high stature. Beads have been slowly resurfacing in a bigger way in jewelry design over the last few years, with a thoroughly ancient and collected feel.

Here, Ileana Makri's white pearl necklace features antique beads collected by the designer herself to create a one-of-a-kind piece that will serve as a layering piece for years and years to come.

Petrified Wood

The interesting tones and colors found in petrified woods are appearing in jewelry once more, lending a natural, earthy look to the pieces they grace. Petrified woods lend a neutral canvas, meaning they pair really nicely with other materials—like in these earrings from Assael where petrified wood lives beautifully with Fijian pearls, or in this chic link necklace created by Aletto Brothers with 18-karat yellow gold and leopard palm wood.
