Pendants for Fall

This Fall’s trend back to the pendant necklaces of the ‘70’s  swings both ways…long and short. I set out last week to design a trio in assorted lengths to go with my personal go-to Fall colors – darkest blues and browns.

My shortest pendant necklace, at 18” pairs this season’s trendy olive with richly hued brass. I’m so happy this often-neglected metal is making a comeback, too!


Kyanite, pearls, a sapphire teardrop and some of my favorite Afghan and Thai silver finds from last February’s trip to the Tucson Bead Show combine in this 30” slip-on necklace. Oh, but this looks so good with dark-washed jeans!



At 46”, my final lariat can be worn long or short, with its pendant dangles of African opal, Swarovski crystal, labradorite and pink dotted quartz. And it’s in my favorite color combination from Pantone’s Fall Color Report.


Are pendants making a comeback in your Fall wardrobe?

  3. Wow, such a lovely pendants! I am a jewelry lover so I always wear different styles of jewelry. Last month I purchased a unique sterling silver pendant from a reputed shop known as SOUFEEL JEWELRY INC at a very reasonable price. It increases my style statements. I am waiting for your next post.

  4. These are all so very lovely and wearable, Karin ~ I am particularly smitten with the first and last necklaces. I have been making custom order lariats lately and they just have a nice flow when they are being made...rather meditative. Your color choices are so comforting. Is that a St. Petersburg stitch in that top beauty? I cannot stop looking at it :-)
    The new look of the website is very nice too!

  7. What a lovely salute to autumn! The colors are lovely (I can imagine wearing that blue one many, many, many times). The first necklace is particularly intriguing - St. Petersburg? Really beautiful!
