If you’ve been following me for a while or if you’re an avid reader of the blog, then you likely know that I have somewhat of an obsession with jewelry. Even on days when I don’t fully get ready or have anywhere to go, you will always find me wearing my jewels.
Jewelry is such a chic way to showcase your personal style. It also offers a fun way to dress up or change the look of an outfit. There are simply so many ways you can wear, stack, and combine jewelry pieces to give things a fresh feel.
However, if you’re not someone who typically accessorizes, it can be a little bit intimidating to know where to start. To help you take your outfits to the next level, I put together this list of jewelry every woman should own.
You can start small by adding just one or two of these items to your jewelry box, then collect more pieces along the way. The key is to buy quality staples that you can wear for years to come.
Also, many of these pieces are great look for less options, which is always a bonus in my book!

3. Tennis Necklace
Every wardrobe needs a tennis necklace. While it doesn’t have to be made with real diamonds, it certainly has to be good quality! These necklaces can stand alone, but they also look pretty when layered in a necklace stack.

4. Gold Snake Chain
A simple chain looks cute on its own for everyday wear, but it also works with every type of necklace stack. I prefer solid gold chains (they’re not crazy expensive either) and would consider this a must-have.

5. Pearl Necklace
Pearls are trending right now, but they’ve always been in style. My favorite place to get pearls is Sequin NYC — they are the best! The Convertible Pearl Necklace (below) is a must-have for the girl who loves a classic statement.

A tennis bracelet is needed to make the perfect daily stack. Combine a tennis bracelet and watch with other bracelets for a seamless look.
