Picking Out the Perfect Pieces for Your Every Day

Everyone needs a few pieces of go-to, everyday jewelry. Whether you’re going out to brunch with friends, heading to work, or just hanging out with family, you can easily elevate your outfit by adding a simple chain or bracelet from your collection. Here are a few tips on picking out pieces that you can reach for every day.

Keep your style in mind.

Here’s the thing: you won’t want to wear a piece that clashes with most of your outfits, so it’s essential to nail down your personal style before choosing everyday jewelry. So, think about your style — do your outfits tend to be more boho, minimalist, or chic? Your jewelry should add to your outfits, not clash, so this step is key.

By finding jewelry that matches your style, you’re more likely to reach for those pieces when getting ready. If you’re indecisive like me, having go-to pieces takes the decision-making process away completely.

Building a collection.

Starting an everyday collection can be intimidating. There are so many options, so many price points, and different pieces to choose from. 

A good starting point is two of everything — two necklaces, two bracelets, two rings, and two sets of earrings. This way you can narrow down what to wear each day but still have different options by mixing and matching. From here, you can build out a collection to include statement pieces or layering options. 

Choose a durable material. 

Everyone should have a go-to material or metal. Do you usually lean towards gold, silver, or rose gold? You can choose pieces that are made of the same metal or mix and match so you can easily create your everyday jewelry look.

Another essential tip — find a durable material. Gold-filled, solid gold, and sterling silver are always great options since they can stand up to heavy use and get wet!

Pick out timeless pieces. 

Save the statement jewelry for special occasions. Your everyday jewelry should be versatile and go with a range of outfits. Choosing timeless and functional pieces is key to building an everyday collection.

You can never go wrong with a simple chain, which Halie & Co has plenty of. Check out our dainty Kelly Necklace or the Curb Chain for an edgier look. 

Comfort is key.

Some jewelry can be heavy or have sharp edges, making it uncomfortable to wear. Your daily jewelry should be the opposite — you should forget that it’s even there. It should be easy to wear all day, whether you’re working, going on a run, or just lounging around the house. 

Find matching sets. 

Halie & Co offers a range of chains that can be made into necklaces or bracelets. For the past two years, my go-to jewelry has been the Paige Necklace and the Paige Bracelet. By having a go-to matching set, my outfits are instantly elevated and give a “put-together” look — even if I’m just sporting jeans and a t-shirt. Matching sets make picking out what jewelry to put on so much easier.

Creating a go-to collection can be intimidating at first, but it will pay off in the end by adding a touch of elegance to every outfit and making getting ready that much easier. Start your search for a go-to collection at Halie & Co, where you can find handmade jewelry for your everyday.
