Autumn brings a shift towards richer colour, deeper tones and pieces with a little more presence. This season, greens, deep burgundy and reds, warm yellows and purples are leading the palette, alongside jewellery trends that favour longer lengths, vintage influences, colourful gemstones and white gold.
Here are the colours and jewellery styles to look for this autumn.
Greens
From deep forest green to brighter jewel tones, green works particularly well as we move into autumn. It pairs easily with the season's browns, camel, navy and black, while adding colour without feeling overly bright.
Gemstone jewellery is an easy way to introduce green into an outfit, whether through a statement ring, necklace or a smaller accent alongside diamonds and gold.
Deep Burgundy & Reds
Burgundy and deep red are natural autumn shades, bringing warmth to darker seasonal wardrobes. In jewellery, the same effect can be achieved through rich red gemstones and rose or yellow gold settings.
These deeper colours work particularly well in statement pieces, where a strong gemstone colour can become the focus of an otherwise simple outfit.
Yellows
Yellow continues into autumn in warmer, more muted forms. Ochre, mustard and golden tones all sit naturally alongside yellow gold jewellery, making this one of the easiest colour trends to incorporate.
Rather than matching colours exactly, use yellow gold to bring warmth to autumn neutrals or to complement deeper green, burgundy and purple clothing.
Purples
From plum and aubergine to softer violet tones, purple adds a richer alternative to the reds and browns traditionally associated with autumn.
Gem-set jewellery is particularly suited to this trend. The Pomellato Sassi Ring brings several rich gemstone colours together in one statement piece, while the Pomellato Gem Set Rondelle Necklace Bracelet Set offers a more playful way to introduce colour.
Long Necklaces
Longer necklaces are returning this season, particularly worn over knitwear, shirts and higher necklines.
The Tiffany & Co. Elsa Peretti 'By the Yard' Pearl and Diamond Necklace is a refined take on the trend, combining pearls and diamonds in a longer silhouette.
For something with a stronger vintage feel, the Van Cleef & Arpels 20 Motif Alhambra Necklace is an enduring design that works particularly well with the richer colours and heavier fabrics of autumn.
Heirloom-Style Earrings
Jewellery with an inherited or collected feel is another key look for autumn. Rather than pieces that appear overtly new, antique and vintage earrings bring character and individuality.
The Antique Georgian Natural Pearl and Diamond Drop Earrings are a particularly elegant example, while these Vintage Diamond Earrings offer a more classic diamond option.
Both work well with eveningwear, but equally can be worn with simpler pieces during the day. It is the contrast that makes antique and vintage jewellery feel particularly modern.
Gem-Set Jewellery
Autumn is a good time to move away from an entirely neutral jewellery wardrobe and introduce more colour.
Gem-set pieces can pick up the greens, reds, yellows and purples appearing elsewhere in an outfit, without needing to match them precisely. Multi-coloured jewellery such as the Pomellato Gem Set Rondelle Necklace Bracelet Set is particularly versatile, while the Pomellato Sassi Ring makes colour the focal point.
White Gold
Alongside the richer colours of autumn, white gold provides a cooler contrast. Its clean finish works particularly well with black, grey, navy and the deeper jewel tones appearing this season.
Sculptural pieces such as the Pomellato Chunky White Gold Wave Band Ring bring a contemporary feel, while the Van Cleef & Arpels Perleé Signature Bracelet offers a more understated way to wear the trend.
Ultimately, this autumn is less about following one particular look and more about adding depth: richer colours, longer silhouettes, distinctive gemstones and jewellery with a sense of history. Pre-owned, antique and vintage pieces are particularly well suited to the season, bringing individuality to the colours and textures of an autumn wardrobe.
