Have you heard about jewelry wardrobe? I’m sure that in your ear wardrobe just means clothes but it can also mean your jewelry. In this blog post I’m going to tell you those essential basics jewelry that every woman should own in their jewelry wardrobe and why you should own them or should buy them, if you don’t have them.

If you don’t want to own many different kind jewelry for some reason, you should keep reading this post. Would you believe that there are just few basics jewelry that you should definitely own despite that you don’t want to keep huge jewelry arsenal? 

Pair of diamond stud earrings

Diamond stud earrings are classic earrings that makes your outfit more suitable for the date night, anniversary dinner night and these earrings goes also more formal occasions.

Diamond studs are easy to combine with any outfit. You have simple one colored dress, add a necklace in your outfit. If you dress have lace in top, embroidery or glistening sequins, you can leave necklace off.

If you cannot afford real diamond stud earrings, I would recommend to choose zircon or preferably  Swarovski Crystal studs since they will have similar sparkle as diamond but price may be suitable more wallet friendly. Classic choice would be crystal clear that are easiest to combine with any outfit but these zircon and Swarovski Crystal earrings comes also in so many color variations that I’m sure you will find perfect earrings for your outfit if you want to choose some colored studs.

Pearl Earrings & Necklace 

Classic pearl jewelry are one of the must have in your jewelry wardrobe. Pearl studs are classic and elegant choice that you can wear at the office. 

Pearls comes also in many color variations, I would recommend that you buy classic white pearl studs. These are super easy to combine with any outfit you have in your wardrobe whether you go casual dinner with friends, have a date night or formal occasion.

Also pearl necklace is one of must have in your jewelry wardrobe. Pearl necklace can be classic row of pearls. If you don’t want to buy classic row of pearl necklace, choose necklace that have single pearl in the chain. Single pearl in the chain can be bigger than row of pearls. Good pearl size is 10 mm which look still elegant. Row of pearls are usually 6 mm in size and can be too small for your taste. Real pearls may be expensive but how you can tell difference between real or fake pearls? My short answer is that real pearls aren’t pure white color, they’re heavier than acrylic or wax pearls, pearls are separate buy knot since that way the pearls won’t scratch each other and necklace is also more durable.

If real pearls are too expensive for you, I would recommend to choose Swarovski Crystal pearls since they look similar as real pearls and have durable color coating with crystal core that feels towards the skin like real pearls. Also Swarovski Crystal pearls come in variety colors, shapes and sizes. Also freshwater pearls are beautiful choice especially if you want to have subtle edgy look. Freshwater pearls comes many color and shape variations too. They feel soft and pleasant towards your skin. 

Bracelets 

What comes in bracelets, you definitely should have one single pearl bracelet. It can be chain linked, flexible or non flexible made of thin wire depending your preference. I would recommend to buy the pearl bracelet in white since it would be easiest to combine with any outfit. Pearls comes in variety colors, shapes and shapes. 

If you want little lighter looking pearl bracelet, choose bracelets that have few pearls in row or single pearl in the chain. As a jewelry maker, I know that you can easily have variations by having different style of chain or color.

Another good bracelet to own is diamond bracelet. It can be bangle bracelet that just slip through your hand which is good choice if small clasp is a problem. Diamond bracelet comes so many variations but one you should have is single row of diamond. It look very elegant and delicate with your evening dress and is beautiful addition if your dress is simple or one colored.

As I say before, if real real pearls or diamonds are too expensive, look for wallet friendly choice of glass pearls, Swarovski Crystal pearls or freshwater pearls. Real diamond can be replaced with Swarovski Crystal bracelets or zircon bracelets.

Following jewelry are also good addition in your jewelry wardrobe if you want to have a minimalist look:
