Historically, I’ve never been that into jewelry. I’ve always preferred to spend my money on bags and shoes but in the last five or so years that’s changed and I’ve made some investments to add to my jewelry collection to elevate the pieces I wear every day.

It had been ages since I gave this post a refresh so I’ve added in all the pieces I wear regularly as of late.

My Everyday Jewelry

I prefer to have simple yet striking jewels that are dainty and feminine, My favorite diamond necklace? I rarely take it off. I don’t switch up my earrings all that much. Instead, mostly keeping some dainty studs in regular rotation. And my rings are all gold that can be stacked or worn on their own depending on how I’m styling for the day. I keep them in little dishes in my bathroom and on my dresser for daily, ease of wear.

My go-tos these days are a mix of high and low. I’ve bought a few really special pieces that were more investments in the last year but they pair well everyday with some of my favorite more budget-friendly brands. You’ll notice I tend to be quite loyal to the brands I wear. 

I hope you find this post a handy resource if you’re looking to build out your own collection of timeless and beautiful jewelry.

Here’s a peek into my jewelry drawer:

Earrings

The following are a selection of those studs I keep on rotation in my five piercings for everyday jewelry wear.

Catbird Diamond Angel Hair Stud Earrings

A teensy diamond stud. I have one of these in my third piercing on my left ear that always stays there.

SHASHI Trilogy Stud Earrings

The pieces I have from this well-priced brand have held up really well with light wear. 

Dorsey Martini Studs

A great, customizable lab grown diamond stud that you’ll wear forever. Mine are Silver / Lab White Sapphire / 1.50 carats.

Ring Concierge Illusion Studs

These are great because they give the illusion of a bigger diamond stud despite being made up of smaller diamonds.

Catbird Little Secret Studs + Kinn Tiny Pearl Earrings

Bracelets

Dorsey Riviere Bracelet

I love a classic tennis bracelet and think it is a beautiful addition to anyone’s jewelry collection for every day wear or special nights. I have the Dorsey Kate 3MM round cut white sapphire bracelet in a 6.5 in. I do find it does snag on some clothing so just be aware as you wear it!

Dorsey James Bezel 3MM Riviere Bracelet 

And in a bezel setting, I often wear the Dorsey James Bezel Riviere bracelet in 18K gold vermeil in 6.5 inches. I love the look of mixed metals and wearing the couple of tennis bracelets I own together. They also look beautiful on their own.

Dorsey Lenora Bracelet

I absolutely love this bracelet. Inspired by the sexy, gold link bracelets and watches of the 1970’s I love the vintage vibe of it. Like a classic timepiece without the watch face. I wear mine all the time.

I have the 18K gold coated brass and it has held up so, so well with constant wear. I don’t have to take it off to shower or swim or sleep. It is also available in gold coated sterling silver.

Several lengths are available, I own the 6.5 in.

Catbird Permanent Jewelry

The other small, threadbare bracelets I wear on my right wrist all were “zapped” on at Catbird locations in NYC and are permanent (for now!)

Necklaces

Dorsey James Bezel Necklace

The Dorsey James Bezel Necklace in 15 inches is great for layering and therefore I find myself adding it to my neck on a regular basis. 

The James Bezel 3MM Rivière features lab-grown white sapphires in a bezel setting that outlines each stone with a slim border of 18k gold vermeil. It perfect for every day wear in my opinion.

Aurate Infinity Locket + Gold Diamond Cut Chain Necklace

I’d looked for a locket for years that I liked and this one finally fit the bill. I love the subtle engraving on it. Eventually I may add a longer chain to it as well. Seen styled with the Dorsey James Bezel Necklace.

Gorjana Venice Necklace + Aurate Mini Diamond Bezel Necklace

I’ve worn this diamond bezel necklace near-daily for over a decade. I love its subtle simplicity. It also goes so well layered with other necklaces I like to add for some visual variety.

Dorsey Curve Necklace

This is a great everyday statement sparkler. I’ve gotten compliments on this necklace every time I’ve worn it.

It features 13 lab-grown white sapphires (or diamonds if you prefer!) set in a graduating shape. 

I own a similar but different one from Dana Rebecca as well.

Rings

Catbird Threadbare Ring

Kinn Dome Ring

I’ve worn this ring nearly daily since I got it five years ago. I love how it looks stacked nowadays and you’ll often find it flanked with two other rings on one of my ring fingers.

Ring Concierge Diamond Station Stackable Ring

Ring Concierge Diamond Open Ring 

Ring Concierge Double Row Stackable Pavé Pinky Ring

I always wanted a diamond pinky ring after my friend bought one and it always looked so chic so I nabbed this one during a sale last year. 

Ring Concierge Graduated Single Prong Diamond Ring

I loved seeing this on a friend every time we would meet up so after splurging on it I basically have worn it on my middle finger of my left hand every day since. It always yields compliments.

Seen styled with a variety of Dorsey Jewelry.

Aurate Infinity Ring
