Autumn in Australia is a gorgeous time of year. The days start to cool, the light softens, and the landscape begins to change. It's the perfect time to transition your wardrobe for cooler weather. That also means it’s the perfect time to explore autumn jewellery inspiration for fresh styling ideas.
Whether you're updating your own jewellery collection or looking for a perfect autumnal gift, as an experienced Australian jeweller I've got you covered with my top autumn jewellery and outfit tips so you can make the most of autumn.
I'll also share my tips for using the change of season as a great time to give your jewellery some TLC, along with doing a general refresh of your accessories and outfits so you will enter the cooler months in style.
So let's dive in and get your autumn outfits sorted ...
Embrace Autumnal Colours in your Outifts
Autumn is all about rich, warm hues. When choosing jewellery for the season, think gold jewellery, especially yellow and rose gold, along with warm coloured gemstone jewellery including stones like citrine, garnet, yellow sapphire and carnelian.
These colours will bring out the best in your autumn outfits, adding depth and interest to even the simplest clothing.
Jewellery with warm, vibrant colouring looks great when paired with neutral coloured clothes. If you tend to turn to blacks and greys in your cooler weather wardrobe (and I certainly do), then these warmer colours will stand out and look beautiful with your autumn outfits. Here are some examples:
You'll also love how rose gold jewellery especially can add a touch of romance to neutrals and soft knits. Let's face it: nothing beats a little golden sparkle on a sunny autumn afternoon. Here are some of our most loved rose gold designs to inspire your autumn fashion choices:
Layer & Stack for Effortless Autumn Style
Autumn's milder weather is ideal for playing with layers. Mix and match layering necklaces with different lengths to create interest around higher or v-necked outfits and lightweight knits.
Don't forget to stack your rings: stacking rings are perfect for creating a personalised look that transitions easily from day to night.
Stacking your rings is also a great way to accessorise when you're wearing higher necked or heavier outfits that may not suit wearing necklaces. In this situation, some stacking rings (or a statement cocktail ring) with some simple earrings may be all you need.
You can also start simple with a few delicate pieces and then build up with bolder designs as the season progresses. After all, autumn is all about transitioning - and your jewellery can do the same as winter approaches.

Mix and Match for Autumn Outfits
Autumn fashion is all about versatility and comfort. Think cosy knits, lightweight jackets, and beautiful scarves. Jewellery is the finishing touch that can easily transform your look from everyday to exceptional.
Try pairing bold statement earrings with a high-neck knit or a unique pendant necklace over a simple tee and blazer combo. Adding a selection of solid gold rings or sterling silver rings to your look is also a great way to elevate your style effortlessly.
If you're heading out in the evening, swap your simple studs for eye-catching dangle earrings or hoop earrings for an instant style upgrade.
To help you mix and match, we have a handy guide to How to Mix, Match & Stack Jewellery for outfit ideas and style tips.
Give Your Jewellery a Seasonal Refresh
As you transition your wardrobe to clothing for cooler weather in autumn, it's also the perfect time to give your jewellery some TLC. We recommend you check and clean your jewellery twice a year - and autumn and spring are perfect for this.
See our comprehensive Jewellery Cleaning Guide for everything you need to know. If you have tarnished silver pieces, be sure to read our dedicated guide to How to Properly Clean Silver Jewellery to keep your favourite pieces looking their best.
Take some time out to clean and polish your favourites, along with inspecting clasps and settings to make sure everything is in tip-top shape. You'll thank yourself later!
The change of weather also means that autumn and spring are also great times to do a reassessment of your outfits, accessories and jewellery collection to make sure it's working for you.
Taking some time to do a style reset occasionally can be a game-changer. To get help with this, visit our must-read Jewellery Style Guide to help you to fall back in love with your jewellery collection and wear more of it more often.
