The 10 Building Blocks For Your Jewelry Wardrobe

Discover the 10 building blocks for the perfect jewelry wardrobe from Silverhorn founder, Carole Ridding. “You should have a collection of tried-and-true pieces that are classic but fashionable–versatile, high-quality things that you love.”

To recap:

1. I’d invest in a large gemstone ring, one that’s bold and oversize. It’s an important piece, and it should be fun!
2. You can wear a long, gold chain necklace over a turtleneck or a plain black dress. Try winding it around a strand of pearls.
3. Have wrist jewelry, like metallic cuffs, which could be narrow bangles or wider and bolder.
4. I’d definitely have a custom-made piece of jewelry, one that’s personal to you. You’ll wear it over and over again. At Silverhorn, our head designer, Noel Bendle, can design a cone-of-a-kind piece for your approval.
5. A right-hand ring can be playful. Think of colorful rings that are mix and match.
6. Don’t think of chandelier earrings only for a fancy look. You can wear earrings that swing and sway with jeans and a button-down shirt.
7. Pearls never go out of style, and you don’t have to stick to white. Think about black Tahitian pearls or pinkish freshwater ones.
8. Gold hoop earrings, long and sleek or short and curvy. Pick a shape that flatters your face.
9. Studs are perhaps the most versatile earrings you’ll own. Diamonds complement practically anything you pair them with and the simplicity of studs makes them the perfect companion to busy necklaces or necklines.
10. Have a statement piece, jewelry that’s daring and exciting, like a choker or cuff that mixes materials. This is not something you’d wear every day!
