To start off this trend, Kaliecos has quite a selection of the new colors out for your beading pleasure. Look for the great jewel tones to warm up your fall.

Fall is also about statement jewelry (jewelry that says something about you). Big pieces, small pieces, multiple pieces worn together, there is a style for everyone in our fall selection.
