When It Comes to Jewelry, I Keep it Simple: 30 Gold Pieces I Approve Of

I’m all for incorporating colorful jewelry into my looks here and there, but the jewelry that I wear on a daily basis (and sometimes to sleep) is my collection of gold pieces. What can I say? I’m a simple girl. Okay, not really, but I can be when it comes to jewelry. Instead of doing a full-on Y2K-inspired jewelry party, I like to stick to my everyday jewelry and mix the more kitschy pieces in to create a balance of aesthetics. It’s taken me some time to collect my everyday pieces, but it’s been worth it because I’ve kept (and worn) many pieces for years and don’t plan on getting rid of them anytime soon. 

If you’re someone who wants to upgrade their everyday jewelry game, look no further. And remember, simple gold jewelry doesn’t have to be boring, so fret not because the selection I’ve gathered today is versatile but features unique and playful silhouettes. Whether you’re on a budget or are looking to invest in pieces for the long haul, keep scrolling to see the best gold jewelry on the market right now.

I own the ring version of these, and it’s safe to say the only time I’m not wearing it is if I’m sleeping or in the shower.

A crowd favorite for obvious reasons. 

Pearls will forever look classy.

Nothing like a simple pair of large hoops to spice up an everyday ‘fit.

Chainlinks don’t have to be just for bracelets.

If an average hoop isn’t your jam, opt for a more unique shape.

Like this one, too.

The flower just adds a little something, don’t you think?

Chunky and gold, just how I like it.

A trip to Paris, anyone?

Luxury.

If you wear a lot of black, this is perfect for you.

The most perfect little set.

This is very similar to my engagement ring, I preferred a dainty ring so I can mix it with other jewelry easily.

Just gorgeous.

An excellent layering situation.

Many sellers are turning vintage designer buttons and pins into jewelry, and I’m 100% here for it. It’s the perfect way to get a designer item but at a less expensive price point.

Chic and Unique

You can’t go wrong with a chunky chain.

The perfect combo of modern and old.

Summer is coming.

Mateo is highly known for its luxurious items. This is definitely something you’ll hold onto forever.

Minimal perfection.

Can you tell I have a thing for pearls? They just pair with gold so well and take an otherwise minimal bracelet just up a tiny level.

Not your middle school charm bracelet.

This is a statement piece for sure.

I know the entire bracelet isn’t gold, but you have to admit it’s chic.

Anklets are the wave this summer.

If you’re feeling a little risky.

This can also double as a mask chain.
