Trend Spotting: Ring to Bracelet

I've been loving the dainty, East-Indian inspired hand bracelets that connect your ring to your wrist via a dainty chain. The connecting chain offers that little something extra that catches the eye and will make your jewelry stand out from the crowd.

Which one is your favourite?

One thing we know? Mixing metals is totally on trend for fall. Gone are the days of sticking to all gold or all silver or white gold with your jewelry. Something else that is on trend for fall? Mixing textures and weights. Pair your dainty bracelets with chunky rings and your thin bracelets with heavier bangles for a look that totally 'du jour.'
