Forget Pumpkin Spice: These Fall Accessories Are Turning Heads in Alexandria

As we move from sun-soaked afternoons into crisp evenings, September is the moment to refresh your jewelry wardrobe. This season, the runway trends translate seamlessly into everyday style—bold yet wearable, playful yet polished. So whether your wrist is dangling over your steering wheel while waiting in the school pickup line or you're looking to impress at an upcoming charity fundraiser, here are the accents that will make you shine.

The Power of Sparkle

Diamond tennis bracelets are still reigning—but this fall, they’re part of a bigger story: the modern rivière. Designers are reimagining the classic line bracelet and necklace with saturated stones like emeralds, citrines, and sapphires. Think timeless sparkle, now with a splash of color. Whether paired with a bright cobalt dress or stacked next to silver bands, these pieces feel fresh, luxe, and just a little bit unexpected.

Golden Hour Glam

If Fall 2024 was about silver minimalism, Fall 2025 is the return of yellow gold—and the bolder, the better. From chunky link bracelets to sculptural cuffs, gold brings warmth to transitional knits and structured fall dresses. Our collection this month embraces that golden glow, layering textured chains with smooth bangles for a stacked wrist story that’s both editorial and approachable.

Pearls with a Twist

Forget the prim pearls of yesterday—contemporary pearls are everywhere this fall. Oversized baroque drops, mixed-media settings, and pearl-accented rings are giving this classic gem a playful edge. We love pairing delicate freshwater strands with a rope-style gold chain bracelet, or slipping on a double-pearl ring to instantly elevate a simple cream dress.

Statement Rings & Maximalism

The fashion set is leaning hard into modern maximalism—rings that make a statement, quirky shapes, and sculptural silhouettes. Stack them with slender bands for balance, or let a single bold piece be the star. Our twisted silver ring or pearl-accented double band nails this look while still being versatile enough for everyday wear.
