Jewelry shopping can be intimidating. There are so many options and it can be overwhelming to not know where to start. If you are building your own jewelry collection, shopping for a recent grad who is starting their career, or just looking to go back to basics, here are our top 5 must haves!
Stud Earrings
A staple pair of studs can go with anything and there are SO many options! Studs come in all shapes and sizes and there is a pair to fit every style. Pearl studs are trending but have always been a classic!
A gold ball stud can match anything, and diamond studs are more affordable than ever with lab grown diamonds. Studs are the perfect earring for everyday and can be mixed and matched endlessly with everything in your jewelry wardrobe.
Hoop Earrings
When your studs aren’t the perfect fit, a classic hoop is a great option! Hoops are timeless staple because they can go with any look. Elevate jeans and a tee, or pair them with a little black dress. The options with hoops are endless in size and shape, even with stones and fun details to add personality.
Classic Chain Necklace
Chain necklaces are so flexible to style and can be worn with anything. Wear a chain by itself, or layer with other chains or a pendant to create a whole new look.
They come in so many styles and lengths that there truly is a chain for every occasion. Not a fan of the plain chain look? Try one with a fun detail like this pearl and paperclip style necklace!
Gemstone Pendants
A pendant is a great way to add a personal touch to your outfit. A pendant can add some sparkle with a gorgeous lab grown diamond, add a pop of color with a gemstone in your birthstone or favorite color, or can be a timeless classic like a strand of pearls. Pendants can also be a great way to restyle an old piece you no longer wear into something you can wear everyday.
A Bracelet With Some Bling!
A fun bracelet can add a touch of sparkle and bling to any look. Bracelets can dress up a casual outfit or even stack several together to create a fun, layered look. Simple chains, diamond tennis bracelets, or funky bangles – the options are endless.
