In no particular order, here are my picks for the jewelry I think every fashionista should own – here you go….

• Diamond stud earrings
• Plain & simple chain necklace
• A pearl necklace – either fresh-water, cultivated or natural is your choice
• Small hoop earrings – silver or gold
• Last but not least, I think every fashionista should have a set of “showstopper” jewelry, whether it’s splurge or save.

jewelry wardrobe essentials – showstopper jewelry pieces… the high end ones

I think that every woman who wears jewelry should have a set of “showstopper” jewelry.  The pieces you can wear out to a fancy event, to make a statement, to be bold!

With pieces like this, you’ve got to know what you’re comfortable wearing – after all, if it’s going to make you self concious – there’s no point in wearing it.  Learn how to wear bold jewelry – it’s a great skill

Here’s my budget pick for one possible set of show stoppers:

A simple, elegant fine chain necklace – either in sterling silver or gold, whatever works for your budget.  A simple necklace gives you so much versatility – you can wear it plain, layer it, or add charms or pendants.
