Three Big Bold Jewelry Trends to Try
The statement necklace—so popular over the past few fashion seasons—has evolved for into a full-blown jewelry shout. Fall's jewelry trends are big and bold, from chokers that have a hold on the whole neck to cuffs with oversize stones to dangling earrings in sharp geometric shapes.

Forget that tiny string of velvet around your neck. Fall 2011's chocker necklaces channel a mix of Victorian era nostalgia with a modern edge. Whether you go full on femme machine like at Lanvin, standard punk like at Alexander McQueen or full on girly/floral/romantic at Valentino, the trend can be yours.

You don't have to match your purse with your shoes, but perhaps you'd like to coordinate your bag to the stones on your bracelet, as many designers did for fall. Rock a one-stone style, as shown at Giorgio Armani and Christian Dior, or a multicolored cabochon bracelet, as shown at Fendi.
