Gold pendants are hot for Fall 2010. With the vintage and minimalism trends in full swing for Fall, jewelry has not been shining bright. Aside from pearls, jewelry has taken a backseat to the lady bag handbag trend and kitten heel shoe trend. With the return of minimalism, gold pendants are the simple alternative to pearls this season since they are understated and can easily be worn with all of this Fall’s trends.

Gold pendants were the necklace of choice for Fashionistas earlier in the century as well as in the latenineties. Fashionistas chose pendants which were either simple, yellow gold or small with diamond chips. The gold pendants that were popular were either flat circles with a special engraving such as a zodiac sign, or they were a playful shape such as an initial or horseshoe. This Fall, gold pendant necklaces are making a huge comeback in similar fashion to their last run. Jewelry designers are showing circles with engraving, shapes with texture and surprising shapes which will add personality to any Fashionistas wardrobe for Fall.

Jewelry designer Ippolita has a small and simple 18K yellow gold pendant set as a charm on a chain link necklace which is sold separately. Sonia Renee is showing a throwback to SATC by bringing back the name tag necklace  in 14K gold. David Yurman will take your heart away, and much of your hard earned money, with his fabulous yellow gold heart pendant necklace. KC Designs is showing several different yellow gold pendants with diamond encrusted designs inside of a circle such as this paw print gold pendant. Heather Moore has mixed together the military trend and the gold pendant necklace trend by creating a birthday gold pendant that contains your personal birth information. That is not a necklace that should leave anyone’s sight! Talk about identity theft. . .

Yellow gold is at a high price, especially for Fashionistas who are on a tight, recession budget. Thankfully there are options for the cash-strapped and style-savvy. Cookie Lee, a jewelry designer who offers fashionable jewelry at fabulous prices, is showing two very pretty yellow gold pendant necklaces for Fall that are right on trend. This is also a trend where you can easily shop your closet. Perhaps you have a yellow gold pendant from ten years ago in your jewelry box waiting to be worn! Yellow gold pendants are, in general, a classic piece of jewelry. They can easily be worn with the 1950s, 1960s and minimalism trends for Fall and they are also a staple, classic necklace. Happy shopping and stay fabulous.
