Whether your last year was tumultuous, exhilarating, life-changing or hum drum, there’s never a better opportunity than the New Year to clear out the old, messy bits and organize our lives… or at least our jewelry boxes. Having all the bling is fun, but let’s be honest – you probably are not wearing your grandmother’s brooches, nor your middle school fling’s heart-shaped pendant on a regular basis. So, after you recycle, re-gift and re-design, which pieces do you keep around? We’ve narrowed down our top five jewelry essentials we think every gal needs in her jewel box all year, every year.
1.) SMALL DIAMOND EARRINGS
A pair of diamond earrings are a classic staple that never goes out of style. A subtle sparkle that can be worn with any outfit is key. For a twist on traditional single diamond studs, see our Trilogy Diamond Cluster Earrings – the perfect option for a dainty everyday pair. Crafted in matte gold with a cluster of three dainty diamonds and a bit of rustic texture, wear these lovelies daily and move them to your second holes when you’re stepping out for a night on the town and want a little extra bling!
2.) A PERFECT STACK
The perfect stack is a non-negotiable when it comes to necessity in a woman’s jewel box. (For tips on how to build your perfect stack click here!). The ease of wearing individually or together is what makes a stack so important. If you’re running errands or going for a hike, you might only wear one or two rings on different fingers to have a small sparkle statement, but if it’s a dinner party or night out with girlfriends you’re attending, you can easily layer on that stack for the ultimate effect. You can find one of our favorite stacks below or click HERE to shop our stack of the week!
3.) A DAINTY LAYERING NECKLACE
Another no-brainer and the easiest way to dress up an everyday outfit: a simple and pretty layering necklace. Pick one that is dainty, with just enough sparkle. Wear with your casual looks and layer on top of it when you’re ready for a little extra! A few of our favorites that will serve this purpose are the Mini Baguette Bezel Diamond Necklace and the Rounded Daisy Charm Necklace (if you’re the floral type). Minimal and understated, both options give you the flexibility to wear with any and everything and layer up as you please!
4. ) A STATEMENT RING
What is a jewel box without a statement ring that reflects your unique personal style? Statement rings have the ability to pull together an entire look together and are also extremely versatile: wear solo to make it the star of the show during the day, or layer with your other stacking styles for all the bling on a special night out. Most loved in our collection? Our Torn Paper Bands Collection, as seen below.
5.) A POP OF COLOR
The most fun essential to any jewel box: a pop of color. While neutral diamonds are the most obvious choice for classic, everyday wear, a pop of color can be the eye-catching missing piece. Add said pop of color to your other everyday pieces to bring in some personality. Below is our Blue Sapphire Simple Solitaire-Square Band layered with a sparkly stack to give the look a final touch!
We hope this new year brings you lots of love, laughter and sparkly new additions to your jewelry wardrobe, and we look forward to sharing our passion for jewels with you!
