Accessorising an outfit should be fun, not stressful. That's why we believe that every individual should have a capsule alternative jewelry collection to complete any look. A capsule collection is a small, carefully curated selection of items that can be mixed and matched to create a variety of different looks.
Getting Started on your Capsule Alternative Jewelry Collection
Building a capsule alternative jewelry collection doesn’t have to be restrictive—in fact, it can be quite the opposite. It is a chance to distill your style down to its very essence and build a collection of pieces that you love to wear and make you feel confident.
Start by taking inventory of the pieces you already own. Which ones do you wear all the time? Which ones make you feel good when you put them on? A capsule jewelry wardrobe is all about quality over quantity—so take your time choosing pieces that you know you’ll love to wear for years to come.
Key Pieces For A Capsule Alternative Jewelry Collection
Once you have a clear idea of your personal style, you can begin to curate your jewelry collection. Start by removing those that don’t reflect your style. If you’re lost on what type of jewelry to select, below are some tips on how to pick a few key pieces that will help round out your collection.
A capsule collection typically consists of everyday essentials, colourful jewelry, and statement pieces. These jewelry pieces can be worn together or mixed and matched to create looks for different occasions. The key is to choose pieces that are timeless and reflective of your personal style.
1. Everyday Essentials
These are pieces of jewelry that you can put on every day, no matter what the occasion.
The next time you're looking for the perfect finishing touch, don't overlook the classics. Wear timeless 14K gold pieces such as the Yara Crown Threadless Ends and Titan Threadless Ends now and forever. Show your shine and luminosity with versatile silver jewelry like the Hansel Halo Hangers, Plain Crescent Saddle Hangers, and Trinity Rope Clicker. These time-honoured gold and silver designs are always in style.
Prefer something even simpler? Studs are always a good choice. Wear the small and delicate Ori Dewdrop Titanium Flat Back Stud for a big impact. Sometimes, less is just more.
