Bling For Every Budget
Sparkle at every price point.
I'll be honest: I keep it simple when it comes to jewelry. I wear a few standard pieces every day. Some may say that's boring. I like to think I'm classic.
Even though I don't tend to wear a ton of jewelry, I can absolutely appreciate pieces that don't fall into my standard repertoire. Here are the pieces I've been screenshotting lately—aka drooling over.
NECKLACES
$$$: This Little Bow Necklace from Waters and Stone ($135) is perfect for day or night. It comes in silver or brass, and you have the option of a 16” or 18” chain.
$$: The Tiger Red Devan Necklace from Xirena ($125) is very on trend right now. It provides a nice of pop of color, and if you have the budget, stacking it with other color combos creates a dramatic, but fun, casual look.
$: The Double Trouble Choker from Atolea ($57) is sweatproof and waterproof, which matters to me given my incessant hot flashes. I also like that you can wear it short or loose. And while I’m not a matchy-matchy fan, they do offer a Double Trouble bracelet if that’s your thing.
SPEAKING OF BRACELETS…
$$$: The XL Banksa Cuff in yellow bronze at Field & Supply ($580) is a work of art. It feels significant and delicate at the same time. It’s a great statement piece with a dress or a button down and jeans. There is a small Bnaksa cuff for $440. They also offer silver options, but they cost more than the yellow bronze.
$$: The Madison Cuff from Jennifer Fisher ($250) is another great cuff at about half the price of the XL Banksa. I like the rope look and it is somewhat flexible for comfort.
$: I gave a friend the Basquiat Bracelet from GLDN ($76) with the initials of her mother and father. It’s a bracelet that can be worn everyday and it has special meaning.
RINGS
$$$: This statement Orb Ring from Waters and Stone ($150) stands out with it’s simplicity.
$$: The Charlotte Puffy Ring ($98) from Mejuri has a similar feel to the Waters and Stone Orb ring.
$: And the Croissant Ring from Quince ($40) is similar to the Mejuri Charlotte Puffy Ring. A similar croissant ring at Clare V goes for $395.
EARRINGS
$$$: The Pavé Diamond Huggie Hoops from Mejuri ($398) are on my wish list. They are sophisticated and demure. Best part: you can flip the earring and wear it as a solid gold hoop. Genius!
$$: The Elise Earrings from Mon Été ($80) elevate the standard pearl with the knot detail. Perfection.
$: These Double Circle Ear Jacket Earrings from Etsy ($42) are a unique take on a hoop. You can select silver, gold or rose gold.
Make it a complete gift with a jewelry dish. I love the marble trinket tray from West Elm ($59), this soap dish ($47) in a gorgeous green that can double as a place for jewelry, or this unique irregular cloud tray from Etsy ($18)
