New York City

When it comes to jewelry, less is certainly more. The jewelry wardrobe includes:

Mandatory:

  • Pearl stud earrings
  • Pearl necklace
  • Wedding band if applicable

Pearl Earrings

Optional (but not really):

Angela Moore Bracelet

Rope Bracelet

Things to Avoid

Avoid things that dangle (especially giant hoops), costume brooches, lots of gold, anything heart shaped (except from Tiffany), toe rings, ankle bracelets, turquoise, and leather.

Can you wear diamond studded earrings with a pearl necklace?

Although I have never been a huge fan of diamond stud earrings personally, it doesn't sound like a problem to me.

Poor turquoise! What has it done to deserve your censure?

I must defend on thing that dangles: my silver charm bracelet. It's a carefully and subtly curated collection of items and objects, all small and silver, that mean something to me. I'm slowly building it each trip to the Cape at Forest Beach in Chatham. I promise you it's understated and elegant!

@Anonymous - Sounds like I must make an exception!
