We couldn’t imagine fall without fluffy sweaters, elegant wool coats or comfortable knit dresses. However, these must-have pieces can look a little drab without a statement accessory. Just add a highlight in the form of a nice piece of jewelry with a color gemstone that will brighten up even the grayest of days. Read on for our suggestions on how to pair natural gemstones with beautiful fall outfits and step into the season in style.

Peridot goes well with nude shades
Various shades of green have been experiencing quite the renaissance this fall and they are fast becoming one of the major trends in both fashion and jewelry. The gemstone peridot is a great example of a vibrant green color with undertones of yellow that fits well with the season. It perfectly expresses nature’s transition from sunny summer to colorful fall. For example, a classic beige trench coat for those fall rain showers would go perfectly with peridot earrings in yellow gold. And don’t be afraid of pairing peridot in a contrasting combination with yellow or terracotta brick either.
Mysterious moldavites
You might be familiar with moldavites mainly in their raw form, where their surface is wrinkled in a very specific way. However, precision cutting can turn this gemstone into very sophisticated jewelry, where its shine and beautiful green colors, reminiscent of trees, moss and ferns, are fully visible. A lovely accessory such as a gold necklace with a moldavite will pair well with darker colors such as chocolate brown or khaki which in turn highlight its earthy character. On the other hand, combining it with stylish shades of dusty pink or light blue would make it look very innovative.
The golden shades of citrines that will warm you up
If you feel like you need to add more bright colors to your wardrobe then choose citrines to provide that added spark. Yellow is a very upbeat color which is often welcome in gloomy fall but there’s no need to dress up in such a vibrant color from head to toe. An attractive citrine ring, for instance, can be just the thing to bring that added boost. Due to its warm golden color, citrine is the perfect choice for fall outfits in brown, ochre and mustard colors.
Fall elegance with garnets
Garnet jewelry can be romantic, classic or very modern and it is in minimal designs that the intense colors of garnets stand out best, whether it’s the deep red of the almandine garnet or the red-with-a-hint-of-purple variety of rhodolites. Both types of garnets come in beautiful shades of red that can be incorporated into your fall wardrobe quite easily. Why not create a stylish outfit by combining burgundy with a darker beige and then boldly add a pair of classic garnet studs or even an emerald engagement ring for a striking contrast? The end result will be an elegant and refreshingly different look. Garnet jewelry can also be easily paired with gray outfits and for a contrasting effect, with yellow, pink or blue.
Lux rubies
Vibrant red rubies are a symbol of passion, strength and energy, making them a great color accessory to outfits in neutral colors. Rubies are a very precious gemstone that are suitable for evening and special occasions. However, a simple white gold ruby necklace can also be a great go-to everyday accessory. Ruby jewelry works the best with primary colors such as white, gray and black.
Take advantage of the wonderful palette of warm, bold and earthy tones that fall fashion has to offer and get creative with your own original combinations. Whether you prefer understated color details or bolder jewelry, natural gemstones in wonderfully rich colors are sure to find their own permanent place in your jewelry box.
