Jewlery Essentials for Her (and Him)

by Blake Herzog
No matter who you are, you should have a handful of versatile jewelry and other accessorizing options at your fingertips to make any outfit look smart and stylish.
We’re not talking about having a drawer of fine and costume jewelry to peruse — even one that’s well-organized can slow you down by giving you too many options to consider, taking valuable time away from prepping the rest of yourself.
These are the elegant essentials to keep on top of your dresser to finish your look with that special shine!
Stud earrings
These little buttons, in silver, gold and sparkle, go with everything and make your statement without getting in your way. Men with at least one pierced ear should have a wide assortment to match their moods.
Hoop earrings
Whether tiny or tremendous they tell a well-rounded story that gives your reader a glimpse of your sense of style and whimsy.
Bangle bracelets
These hoops draw the eye down to your pretty wrists and hands, and when worn in multiples accompany your every movement with the most musical little jingles!
Gold chains
Thick or thin, these timeless adornments add a statement of power and luminosity that grows exponentially when stacked together. Thick gold chains will be the top necklace for men as well as women in 2022.
Pendant necklaces
Your statement becomes a little more complex when you add a pendant to your chain; it can be a statement tied to your name, your faith, your family, your passion, your favorite gem, your favorite brand, your favorite video game. The list goes on…
String of pearls
Just when you think this classic is finally going to drop out of view it comes roaring back into style — there’s something irresistible about these naturally round, smooth beauties we can’t let go of.
Signet rings Today ladies and gentlemen of all backgrounds wear these flattened rings once reserved for men of nobility on which to engrave their family crests. Today they can bear symbols, stones, or just a blank, smooth space — all add an air of elegance to the wearer.
