Pearl And Silver Jewelry.
Q.I wear mostly silver pieces with a few gold or mixed things thrown in (I wear a gold ring and a silver ring every day). My earrings tend to be delicate dangly things, same with necklaces. I do have a few longer pendants and crystals, and lately I've been getting into beaded choker type things. Most of my jewelry is cheap, I mean really cheap, like 3 pairs of earrings for 5 bucks cheap. And you know what's really funny?
A.I tend to wear classic delicate silver jewelry with a modern flair. It pretty much goes with my classic/modern/urban clothing style and my petite-ness. Heavy jewelry like those from David Yurman, etc. just overpower me. My favorite pieces are a lightweight silver chain with a single freshwater pearl, silver hoops, garnet/moonstone drop earrings, and pearl drop earrings. All are silver based, of course. Even though I love jewelry, I don't wear a lot of it at once. For everyday, I just usually wear a necklace, earrings and a watch. BTW, I really like the Lily Rachel jewelry available at Nordstrom as well as the Banana Republic jewelry.
