This Fall, the jewelry trends point to a return and reverence for vintage classics—pearls, brooches, and chokers—and rightfully so. Here are some of the upcoming season’s sensations from designers who are transforming these emblems from antique vintage to modern vintage.
Pearls — The timeless elegance and modern sophistication of the pearl is also finding new, artful, and at times, even edgy, ways to be reinvented. These are definitely not your mother’s pearls.

Brooches — Designed to be attached to garments, the brooches of the fall season surely should be held close to the heart. Whether used as pure adornment or solely ornamental, nothing says vintage modern more than an exquisite statement brooch.

Chokers — Fall 2015 is about the neck. Linear, strong yet delicate, the season-trending choker can be both an understated statement or eye-catching neck candy.

Excited to see pearls and broaches back in style. I actually have a few in my jewelry box. I think I’ll dig the vintage pieces out. Not sure how modern they are, but I’ll give them a whirl!
