I saw this beautiful fall table setting on HGTV.com, and just had to share it.  They bring up a great point – that natural elements like fresh pears create a perfect balance for shimmery metalics.  You can’t go all sparkle all the time, you have to mix it up.  It’s all about contrast in color, texture and height, right?  Here, they use a small variety, like Seckel or Forelle to contrast their golden/amber candles, stemware and glass dishes.
