A Lesson in (Necklace) Layering

A hyper-specific guide.

While I really love jewelry, I don’t like owning pieces I can’t wear every day. My overall philosophy is that your jewelry should be part of you. Not something you set aside for special occasions. Sure, there are pieces that are more of a look, and that might not be as signature to your style, but on the whole I like to wear the same handful of things every day, and really make them part of me.

Those things are: three bracelets - one that’s a vintage Cartier men’s bracelet that my husband gave to me on my 25th birthday, a Sherman Field oval link bracelet I bought when Danielle and I were first becoming friends, and a red string with a pearl on it I bought on a vacation in Mallorca about 5 years ago and haven’t taken off. I also wear a wedding band, but day to day not really any other rings. It’s all pretty subtle there.
