The start of a new season is often synonymous with change, whether it’s to improve personal routines, set goals, or even make a that season closet shift. Each season brings a fresh idea about how you’d like to dress for the remainder of the year ahead.

Fashion Wardrobe Musts

Pearl Strand

Pearl necklaces are passed down for a reason—they will never go out of style. Whether it’s a double strand with various-sized pearls, or a classic single strand you can’t go wrong with either.

Imperial Pearl

800. 556.7738

Stacking Ring

Wearing more than one ring on a finger can take some strategy. Do they fit snuggly on top of each other? Do they add too much bulk to your digit? A simple gold band is a great starting point but better yet, opt for an already stacked multiring style that will do all the work for you.

Colorful Stones

Playing with the gold and silver hues in jewelry is fun but so is the blue of a sapphire or the deep red of a garnet. A colored stone accessory is the easiest way to add a bit of dimension to your all-neutral ensemble or bring out the flecks of green in your eyes.

BELLARRI

A shiny new statement item will dazzle even more when paired with the perfect go-to jeans. And sometimes this item becomes a wardrobe essential itself. Jewelry… not a trend, not an accessory but a wardrobe essential.
