Autumn is a time of change when the leaves turn from green to beautiful reds, oranges, and golds and the air becomes crisp. Everyone pulls their fall wardrobes out of the closet and shakes the dust off of them. Autumn leads in to winter, and with that comes all sorts of cozy textures. The cool air lends itself to warm, soft sweaters, hot chocolate and big fluffy blankets. Everything in the winter is heavy from food to fabrics and colors. This fall season, fashion accessories have taken a hint from the warm and cozy elements of the season and went big, bold and heavy.

Pearls could be seen everywhere on the fall runways and were used in new and unique ways. Large, oversized pearls were a hot commodity in fashion collections. Huge necklaces strung on ribbon, giant stud earrings, and chunky pearl bracelets were seen complementing outfits left and right. Deep colored pearls in plum and navy shades were paired with softer, more traditional colors like cream and ivory for a striking contrast. When oversized pearls layered on top of one another and paired with a casual little black dress became the center of the outfit.

Not only were pearls used for Jewelry and accessories but they were used on pieces of clothing as well. Beautiful white akoya pearls were seen draped in long strands under tulle and on draping tops for a built-in look. Edgy rocker outfits were also adorned with lustrous pearls for a chic look. Don’t think the pearls were used on just tops and dresses; one designer even attached pearls to shoes for a new look. Hourglass-shaped heels pierced through with oversized pearls are a great move for a daring fashionista who is out to set a new trend.

Tahitian pearls are also a definite trend for the fall season. These richly colored “>black pearls are the perfect cool weather accessory. Layer up a bunch of long strands of these black beauties with one or two strands of classic white pearls for the perfect accessory to any outfit in your wardrobe. Another trend seen on the runways of New York City is a clutch shaped like an oyster shell. Beautiful iridescent colors make up the bag and a beautiful large black Tahitian pearl is attached where the two parts of the “shell” meet.

Celebrities everywhere have been spotted sporting both Tahitian and other cultured pearls on the streets and red carpets. Glamour magazine readers voted layered up pearl Jewelry a definite “do” for this season.
