I know it might be a bit hard to nail this one down but if you categorize it by events, you shouldn’t have a problem (that is… if you are into wearing jewelery. Some people aren’t).
One Neutral Statement Piece
Either a killer pair of statement earrings, or a wild necklace, or a big bangled bracelet. You can even look into brooches as statement pieces, or a wild cocktail ring.
You only need ONE piece as a statement piece.
Foxy Originals Necklace – Eden (Canadian independent designers who do fun, great pieces!!)
ASOS Earrings – Cut-Out Filigree And Multi Chain Drop Earrings – 9.79 pounds
ASOS Earrings – Pink and Gunmetal Wings – $53.83 pounds (OUCH!!!!!!!)
Fossil.com – Social Flowers Necklace – $80 (Who knew Fossil was so awesome?)
Fossil – Interlocking Organics Bracelet – $38
Fossil – Pave Disc Ring – $38
Alexis Bittar – Anemone Flower Pin – $225
One Delicate Everyday Piece
Can’t always be a showstopper every day, now can we? Have one piece that’s delicate, and your everyday.
Examples would be a delicate little necklace or little stud or hoop earrings.
ASOS.com Short Cut out Floral Bead Neckace – 7.83 pounds
I found a couple of great deals at Chameleon John for ASOS.com. Do check them out.
MD Sparks – Hyacinth Hoops – $10
ASOS Wrapped Wire Detail Ring – 6 pounds
A Watch
Everyone needs a watch in my opinion. At some point of your life, you will wish you had a watch. At least, that’s how I felt!!!
So pick one that’s very you, within your budget, and able to be worn every day if need be. Some people are not into watches, but there may come a time where you need to wear one. If you aren’t into straps or clasps, then try a bracelet watch so that you feel you’re wearing a bracelet rather than something strangling your wrist.
It’s also a good way to have a statement piece that’s an everyday piece in one.
Michael Kors Silvertone Watch – $160
Just a girl trying to find a balance between being a Shopaholic and a Saver.
I cleared $60,000 in 18 months earning $65,000 gross/year.

Love, love, love. I wonder if those ASOS earrings would be really heavy. Check out Banana Republic for a cute necklace in a similar vein to the Fossil one. It wasn’t badly priced. xx
I never wear a watch and haven’t since college. A philosophy prof asked if we really needed one? And I’m still on time everywhere 10 years later.
I’ve found that I can ask for the time or look at at clock. I never seem to be at a loss for time.
Totally agree. You only need one piece of statement jewelry!
I want those second pair of earrings even though I don’t know if I’d don’t think I am brave enough to rock them with a casual outfit.
You have great taste! I love Fossil’s Interlocking Organics Bracelet and the ASOS Wrapped Wire Detail Ring – both are gorgeous!
I have to disagree on watches and haven’t worn one in about a decade. Once I got to college I realized there were clocks everywhere – in my car, classrooms, my cell, computer, microwave, at work, on registers, etc etc etc. If all else fails I can always ask the person next to me! I’d rather wear an awesome bracelet – cheaper and just as useful 😉
Never been much of a watch person but I love the Fossil bracelet and ring. Reminds me of a John Hardy ring that is much much cheaper. I love a bargain.
*drools over wire ring*
Every girlie should have one piece of OMG jewelery. Just one.
As for everyday jewelry-if you’re the type that doesn’t take it off-buy real stuff. Silver comes out cheaper than good fakes…just sayin’.
Fabulous post!
A pocket watch is an amazing alternative if someone doesn’t want to wear a wrist watch! They’re so dapper on men, and could be so funky on women.
Also, that first pair of ASOS earrings is STUNNING!
