Feminine and structured apparel are a huge trend right now and accessories for these looks are equally demure. Full skirts and pencil skirts are being paired with traditional pumps with pointed toes, ladylike satchels and feminine jewelry. With the vintage vibe stemming from this ladylike silhouette, it is no wonder that vintage jewelry or vintage-like pieces are hot for fall.

One of the most classic and feminine pendants in jewelry is the cameo. Cameos have been shown in many ways including earrings, bracelets and even on watches.

This bracelet looks amazing with fall’s hottest fabrics including silk, velvet and knits. The mix of colors from the cameos allows the Cameo bracelet to blend well with patterns, prints and many solid hues.
