Finding your signature lineup of jewelry is time-saving for a couple of reasons: You'll never have to take the items off, and your accessory game is guaranteed to look polished with your go-to jewelry assortment. I have a few pieces that I never take off. One is a dainty diamond bracelet that was gifted to me, and the other is a simple gold chain that I wear solo and layered with other pieces depending on my mood. As I already pointed out, once you square away your everyday jewelry, it'll become your signature look over time. Today, I'm here to assist you in finding the timeless earrings, necklaces, bracelets, and rings that you can wear year-round. You'll find a mix of extremely minimal pieces and some that are interesting but not too trendy. Think sculptural earrings, thick herringbone chains, and dainty diamond rings.
Whether you're looking for an investment piece or an affordable option that's still up to quality, these options are sure to become staples in your jewelry box. Each item also makes for a great gift idea, so if you're hoping to add something to your Valentine's Day wish list, just drop this story link over to the one gifting you this year, or treat yourself to something dazzling. Below, you'll find my top picks for simple accessories that are effortless but add all the polished detail to your everyday style. Keep scrolling to shop.
Earrings
You can't walk into our office without spotting these earrings on at least one editor.
These sculptural hoops have just the right amount of oomph to them. They're not too dainty but are big and sculptural enough to make a small statement.
The entwined structure makes these silver hoops so much more enticing than your average pair.
While I love the large drop earrings that are trending right now, this size is a bit more toned down and fit for regular wear.
The ribbed detailing adds such a nice element of texture.
Timeless is in the name of the earrings—classic hoops will never go out of style.
Simplicity at its finest.
Necklaces
Just the right accessory for those low-cut tops.
This would look beautiful as is or layered with a few of your other favorite necklaces.
A two-in-one deal!
Sophie Buhai's pieces give a whole new meaning to the term "wearable art," but this minimal option is something you'll wear for years.
Pearls are never a bad idea.
You'll never regret buying a classic gold chain.
When you can't decide between team silver and team gold.
Pair this with a thinner chain for some stylish jewelry layering.
Bracelets
Simple and sleek.
These are the chicest stretchy bracelets I've ever seen.
When you have this gorgeous cuff on your arm, you won't need any other jewelry.
I've been gifted Mejuri's jewelry a few times, and it's held up for years.
Almost too pretty to wear.
Reviewers love how expensive this under-$50 bracelet feels.
Rings
This set is great for mixing and matching within your jewelry collection.
To pair with the beautiful ribbed earrings linked above.
My engagement ring is a simple diamond band like this one, and I've never loved anything more.
As a matter of fact, can I have everything the model is wearing, please?
Calling all silver lovers.
Everyone will be asking you where your ring is from.
This ring has me understanding why certain people say diamonds are a girl's best friend.
I wear these rings almost every day and can confirm they're compliment magnets.
