Autumn/Winter jewellery trends

So the Autumn season is almost upon us, but what are going to be the key jewellery pieces? I've trawled the AW10 London, New York, Paris & Milan catwalk shots courtesy of Style.com & these are my findings...

I predict that safety pin charm brooches as seen at Dolce & Gabbana will be a trend to watch & it's an easy way to update your Winter cardigan for the new season.

Our take on this trend has just hit the store so take a look at our butterfly pearl pin brooch.

Continuing the charm jewellery theme, Dolce & Gabbana showcased necklaces & earrings heavily adorned with vintage style trinkets, but nevertheless still retaining their femininity.













The Spring/Summer trend of bangle stacks & cuffs seems to be carrying on through to Autumn with Chanel, Pucci & Roberto Cavalli amongst others capturing this trend. At Chanel narrow semi-precious agate stone bracelets in earthy tones were a favourite of mine, looking fresh for the new season.

Another trend, which I think will translate well to The High Street is what I'm calling "Ice Queen" as seen at Chanel. Models were sent down the runway dripping in cascades of clear crystals reminiscent of icicles.













The final trend in my AW10 jewellery round-up is multi strand necklaces. They come in various guises to suit all tastes, from scarab beetle adorned at Bottega Veneta, to layered oversized chains at Oscar de la Renta & Giambattista Valli to feminine beaded & twisted strands at Dior.













I'll leave it up to you to decide which trends to embrace for the new season...
