Fall Into Autumn: Five Seasonally Spiced Pieces to Buy Now
This week's Shortlist leans into the changing of the seasons, with golden-toned accessories that will stand the test of time.
A s the seasons shift from summer to autumn, you will no doubt be bombarded with exhortations on "transitional dressing," the utility of lightweight jackets, and more. But these items tend to be ephemeral things that lose their usefulness as fall temperatures drop even further. For investment pieces that conjure the season's best qualities—the changing leaves, the watercolor sunsets, the cooling climes—and can be worn and used even after Halloween comes and goes, we've got you covered.
This week's Shortlist is a collection of accessories in garnet and amber tones that exude the kind of rich warmth we all crave this time of year. No tricks, just treats.
Bulgari Sautoir
This 18-karat gold sautoir (a very long necklace) by Bulgari features 15 alternating oval cabochon cut citrines and pink tourmalines between its heavy links. Given its length (31 inches), it can be worn as a single or double strand making it extra versatile and the cabochon cut adds luminous depth to the stones.
Hermès Birkin
To call this bag merely a Birkin doesn't quite do it justice. This Hermès Birkin is a rare, limited edition "arlequin" design composed of five different shades of leather. Seen from the front, the piece recalls the seasonal transition of leaves, from the sides, a darkening sky.
Tiffany & Co. Earrings
Rich 18-karat gold, citrine, and garnet come together here to form a simple but robust drop earring. The garnet in particular glows with inner warmth, conjuring the same cozy feelings that, say, a glass of mulled wine might.
Rolex Day-Date
The Rolex Day-Date President (first introduced in 1956) was the first waterproof chronometer wristwatch to display the date and the day of the week spelled out in full. This one hails from the current century and features tonal dial color and alligator strap.
Cartier Brooch
Perhaps the most "on the nose" selection this week, this leaf-shaped vintage Cartier brooch captures the season quite perfectly. Worn on a lapel, this gold, platinum, and diamond piece will appear as though it has fallen directly from a tree to land lightly on one's shoulder. If only all trees dropped leaves like these!
