Feeling bold? Many of the biggest and buzziest fall jewelry trends are also literally the largest, with oversized gemstones, eye-catching tassels, supersized pearls, and chunky bangles at the forefront of the conversation. There’s a distinctly ’80s vibe running through it all, proof that when it comes to accessories, maximalism is so back. But don’t worry—thin cord necklaces and understated coin jewelry should please the minimalists among us too. Below, our editors share their favorite jewelry trends of the season, plus exactly how to style them.

1. Corded pendants
One inescapable trend among the fashion crowd (and labels like Michael Kors, Coach, and Ralph Lauren) this season is a simple leather cord with an eye-catching pendant hanging off of it—call it a minimalist statement necklace. These pieces add a certain It-girl air to shirt dresses, silk blouses, and sharp blazers, all without requiring any additional effort on your part. These picks from Amazon, Free People, and Revolve can turn any outfit into a true look.
Styling tip: The simplicity of this on-trend necklace makes it a great choice for the office—style yours with a button-down and trousers for a streamlined look.
