4. Hoop Earrings

Hoop earrings frame your face while making a stylish statement. Make sure you pick a pair that are scaled to your features; the ideal size is usually between 1 to 2 inches, depending on your facial shape. Simple hoops can instantly dress up your jeans-and-a-tee look or add glam to your evening look when paired with an up-do.

5. Stacking Rings

We’ve been doing this for years with our bridal sets, but this staple also extends to fashion rings. The right mix of rings can complement each other when you wear varying sizes and metals. Add rings over the years to mark milestones like anniversaries to grow your collection.

6. Long Layering Necklace

Find necklaces with a long chain so you can layer it with other necklaces. This 23” necklace will make a great layering piece. Not sure how to layer your necklaces? Go for variety. Pair your delicate, shorter chains with slightly chunkier, longer necklaces. For example, start with your shortest chain (14” works best), and start adding chains in a variety of lengths, weight, and metals.

There are few accessories more iconic than pearls. This accessory transcends time and doesn’t care how old you are; a simple strand of pearls can take you through all the major moments of your life with elegance. Much like the layering necklace, a strand of pearls can instantly dress up a more casual look. Easily go from day to night switching to a little black dress; the contrast between black and white will make those pearls pop!

10. Cocktail Ring

These statement rings are not just for cocktail parties. A cocktail ring can add a “wow” factor and sparkle to any look for day or night. For sizing, stay proportional to your hands – if you have small hands, go for a dainty ring; if you have larger hands, go big or go home!
