I tend to favor jewelry that is substantial–the bigger, often the better. Except in summer, when delicate gold jewelry is something I put on in late June and tend not to take off until September. Shimmery gold lights up sun-kissed skin like nothing else. My favorite way to wear it? Layered. I still love these photos from WSJ magazine by Josh Olin in 2014 for many reasons.
I like the idea of mixing different textured elements–clean chokers and chains with simple but unusual links or details. I also love one really long chain, close to navel grazing. And for the ears a mix of small studs and hoops. Below are some favorites.
