Top Fall Jewelry Styles

As a fashion columnist, style blogger and jewelry buyer, it my job to know what hot each season, and what destined for storage (or Goodwill). The fall 2007 season is no exception, and it promises to be an exciting one fashion-wise. Ie talked with accessories editors, walked endlessly around wholesale jewelry shows in New York, scoured fall top fashion magazines, and read dozens of influential fashion blogs. The result? A wealth of information that Ie distilled down to five must-have jewelry looks for fall. Some trends, like pearls, are carryovers from other seasons that are still going strong. If you don already own pearl jewelry, invest in some decent pieces; when it comes to the classics, you can go wrong buying quality jewelry. Others trends are new, which means you can have fun shopping for and experimenting with different stylesut don spend a fortune unless the trend has major staying power or you absolutely love it.
