everyday jewelry

plus tips + tricks

I’m rolling my eyes at myself just writing this, but I’m often asked about my everyday jewelry. Here’s everything I wear regularly, most of which I never take off. Some are vintage and can’t be linked, but I’ve done my best! More shopping and styling tips at the bottom of the post.

RINGS

From L-R: Grace Lee pinky ring (old style), Real Fine Studio open diamond ring, Kieselstein-Cord sapphire band (from my mom) and opal cocktail ring (purchased from The Real Real)

From L-R: vintage starburst band from Recreo; Catbird cigar band (old style), gumball pearl ring, and engraved tomboy ring in rose gold; Gjenmi tic tac band; vintage signet ring (it was my mom’s confirmation ring and has her initials)

BRACELETS

From L-R: Catbird swimming pool bracelet, tinsel bracelet, sweet nothing forever bracelet (it’s welded on), and 1976 bracelet. Engraved curb chain from Looma (old style). Also recently added a zirconia bracelet from Hortense.

NECKLACES

From top: Smith + Mara mini herringbone chain, Mejuri dot chain, Ariel Gordon heart, J. Brooks Jewelers x Courtney Grow “Chan” chain. Sometimes I also add the mini seed pearl necklace from the same collab.

EARRINGS

Sorry, no ear photos, but I have three piercings in each ear. Currently wearing Catbird petite one o’clock tennis earrings, Mejuri huggie u-hoops, a Gjenmi twin opal, and a Kristen Elspeth demi hoop.

TIPS

Buy vintage - no one else will have it! I’ve been lucky enough to scour my mom’s jewelry box, but I’ve also picked up pieces at vintage markets and trunk shows (try Pickwick Vintage in LA and A Current Affair in LA and NY). The Real Real also has a great selection of jewelry and is very well priced compared to retail.

Mix your metals - I prefer gold but a pop of silver is fun and very on trend. Both play well with rose gold.

The best collection is curated over time - I like to buy myself a new piece to mark milestones like a birthday or a big success at work.

Other designers I love: Adina Reyter, Aili, Brent Neale, Elisa Solomon, Jane Pope, Mociun, Retrouvai, Starling, and Zoe Chicco.
