2021 Autumn Jewellery Inspiration

Minimal Autumn Jewellery Trends 2021


Jewellery feels more relevant than ever. It can spark joy in our wardrobe after months of working from home in loungewear. Nothing beats the mood-elevating abilities of a well-chosen piece jewellery to dress up an otherwise worn-to-death outfit.

Autumn has arrived. As we head into the next season, we're leaning into comfort and versatility instead of trend-led wardrobe pieces. Luxurious comfort is emerging as a way to make outfits feel personal and unique while remaining easy to wear.

There's no better way to elevate leisurewear than to dress it up with carefully chosen jewellery. The most noteworthy trends this season include a favouritism for silver, textured metals, delicate chain-links, sculptural pendants, and oversized hoops.

Read on for a breakdown of our picks from this Autumn's jewellery trends. Shop the Autumn Jewellery Edit for a head start on seasonal styling if you need to freshen up your wardrobe.

Autumn 2021 Jewellery Trend: Choose Silver

Autumn 2021 Jewellery Trend: Big Hoops

Hoops are an everlasting staple in any jewellery collection. They transcend trends and endure the seasons. This Autumn we're going big with bold hoops. Our Bamboo hoops (available in gold and silver) are a statement piece with a chunky style designed to be worn solo. While our Flat Hoops (available in gold and silver) are big without being bold for those who prefer simple yet striking jewellery. The Textured Hoops (available in gold and silver) combine two trends - oversized hoops with textured metals.

Autumn 2021 Jewellery Trend: Layering Chains

Dial up the drama with your jewellery using delicate and ornate chains. Layered together or paired with structural pendants. This fresh way to wear chains will shake things up in your wardrobe. Don't forget to use a multi-clasp to prevent tangling. More of an earrings wearer? The Arc Chain Earrings (available in gold and silver) is an alternative take on this season's chain trend.

Autumn 2021 Jewellery Trend: Sculptural Pendants

Keep things minimal with a single sculptural pendant. Instead of layering chains, opt for a lone necklace to make statement - albeit a simple one. Perfect as the finishing touch over knitwear. Our favourites include the Etched Medallion, Vertical Bar, and Crescent Necklaces. Shop more pendant necklaces.

Autumn 2021 Jewellery Trend: Textured Metal

Embellishment without the gaudiness. Textured metals add a playful style to Autumn outfits. Hammered pendants, textured rings, and flattened earrings create standout details to an otherwise standard outfit. It's a simple way to add a spark to your style that catches people's attention.
