I Only Buy Jewelry That Makes People Ask "Where Did You Get That?"—19 Cool Pieces I'm Eyeing for My Next Purchase
Brooches, bangles, and toe rings? Yes, that's right.

I have strict criteria for my jewelry: It must be compliment-worthy, be unforgettably unique, and make people curious. Where did you get that? Who made it? My jewelry collection is a blend of places I've traveled, sentimental pieces passed down through generations, and a passion for quality craftsmanship. As summer accessory trends begin to fade, fashion people are shifting away from sea-inspired designs to an archival presentation of pieces to match the fall trends. There is a trend toward cool metalwork and geometric gemstones that are almost architectural. Sterling silver in any form—polished or patinaed—is a favorite among the fashion set. There is a new love for experimental jewelry.
While fall fashion introduces new jewelry trends, some popular summer accessories will continue to be in style. The long pendant necklace will live long past its 15 minutes of fame, and so will the corded pebble necklace. The Tory Burch flower tank has gotten me into brooches, and chic bangles and cuffs play perfectly into the boho-chic, vintage Chloé aesthetic Gen Z is loving. Oh, and the toe ring has made its comeback.
Come with me as I shop for a new addition to my collection. I'm on the hunt for a cool, effortless accessory that will elevate my outfits and have others asking where I shop. Here are 19 cool jewelry finds that look like they'd be on display in a gallery. Shop them below.
