A few years ago, catching me without geese and wearing jewelry would never have happened, period. eardropRings, bracelets, and necklaces covered my entire body, often causing a mess of necklaces, clasps, and pendants that I then had to meticulously disassemble for hours on end. Eventually it became too much and I started editing jewelry collection—In the jewelry box and on the body — until I started wearing only a handful of everyday items with a few fake pieces added as needed for a certain look.
After going from the least picky jewelry shopper to the pickiest one, I’ve learned something about what’s really worth buying and what’s better left in the display case. And I don’t mean just for the price of an item. From timeless items you’ll own forever to trendy jewelry that should serve your outfit (and your Instagram feed) well, the super fun pieces of jewelry ahead have all passed my particularly grueling test. I have a feeling they will pass yours too.
