Gold Rush: Fall Essentials

This year’s fall essentials are all about the texture and glow of yellow gold. It takes its inspiration from both the disco era of the ‘70s and the emergence of the ‘80s career woman — her fashion staples set off by big, bold, singular pieces. We saw it on the runways during the fall 2021 ready-to-wear shows and now, the trend has hit the jewelry industry.

Gabriel & Co. zooms in on the must have pieces — those that you can grab and go to head out the door in style. For jewelry enthusiasts, clothes act as a backdrop to the jewels. During the pandemic’s height, we wore earrings with sweats and talisman pendants with athleisure wear. Now with the arrival of cooler weather, we’re back at work in uniforms of black, grey or other neutrals in cooler climates or print dresses where it’s warm. No matter what the climate, gold jewelry complements a range of different fashion wardrobes.

These yellow pieces make for accessible and alluring self-purchase items. Maybe you have a yellow gold bangle or a pair of gold hoops in your jewelry collection already — these Gabriel & Co. designs add a modern edge and elevate the basics to high-style essentials.

Some of my favorites from Gabriel & Co. this season include:

• Textural and tactile gold pieces — hammered, chevron, granulated and diamond-patterned
• High-polished wide and bold pieces
• Geometric shapes
• Intricate statement chains
• Fringe-style necklaces that look like mesh fabric and have swing and movement

These trends are seen in all jewelry categories. Here is a representation of what you might want to look for when purchasing your new jewelry staples for fall 2021:
