At Who What Wear, we’re experts at finding hidden gems and pieces we think are worth your time, which is why I’m here to talk about Simon G. Jewelry—again. Yes, the Los Angeles–based jewelry line I can’t stop talking about has been making waves among editors, and I wanted to share how we’re styling these pieces with you.
My colleagues Anneliese Dominguez, Kat Collings, and Anna LaPlaca all have a keen eye for finding statement jewelry, especially investment pieces they’ll wear regularly. From sparkly numbers to stackable rings, all the pieces below are worth your attention. Keep reading to see how we’re styling them.
Tell me about your jewelry of choice.
Anna LaPlaca: I’m a gold girl through and through, so I love that this gold-diamond band is easy to style alongside my other jewelry staples. It gives off the look of interlocking bands that I think adds a cool dimension.
This ring is a showstopper all on its own, but it’s also an easy add-on to any other ring stack. The graduated diamond sizes lend that “wow” factor.
Collar necklaces are set to have a big moment in 2023, and I like that this one is sized so it anchors the rest of my look as a simple statement piece. While I love stacking necklaces, this one is easy to wear all on its own.
How do you usually style your jewelry?
AL: I’m a big fan of classic wardrobe basics like blazers, jeans, and tees, so I rely heavily on my jewelry to make a relatively simple outfit shine. I usually combine daintier and statement-making pieces to create a cool dimensional effect, and my favorite way to style jewelry is to layer stacks of gold and diamond pieces that can really pop against a simple, even casual background. A bold gold necklace, a white tee or jeans, and a diamond ring are outfit winners in my book.
What’s one styling tip you can give readers when it comes to pairing jewelry with their outfits?
AL: I find it helpful to think about anchoring your jewelry look to one or two hero pieces and adding in more items that play off them. Instead of loading up on bold statement pieces, try leaning on a single statement necklace and adding a few dainty rings or earrings to let the main piece shine. It’s all about balance.

Kat Collings: Tennis necklaces are so in right now, but you know it’s an investment with longevity. I love how mine skipped the typical round diamonds in favor of clusters of diamonds shaped like flowers. It’s equal parts playful and elevated. These rings were made for each other. I love how the strong lines on the ring with square diamonds contrast with the more organic curves on the ring with circular diamonds. The pairing is a delightful study in complementary contrasts.
How do you usually style your jewelry?
KC: I love to mix metals and stack pieces for a layered, nuanced effect. I like my jewelry mix to walk the line between everyday elegance and statement makers. Though I picked a dressier outfit to wear, I’m also particularly fond of the contrast that happens when you pair fine jewelry with more casual pieces like denim or a beloved sweatshirt. Diamonds and precious metals really are so versatile.
What’s one styling tip you can give readers when it comes to pairing jewelry with their outfits?
KC: It’s all about pulling in different elements that play off each other to create a look that has depth. If you lean too far into one aesthetic, I find the result can feel one-note. When it comes to jewelry, that means pairing tougher pieces with a sweeter outfit. Or if you’re wearing a softer look—say, a mohair sweater set—opt for jewelry that has stronger angles to balance it out.

Anneliese Dominguez: I love that it looks like you’re wearing two rings when, in reality, it’s just one ultra-chic ring. And I won’t ever argue with a little diamond pop. I’m not always a rose-gold person, but this was too beautiful to pass up. I love the cool buckle clasp detail—it’s definitely a conversation starter.
How do you usually style your jewelry?
AD: When I got engaged, I really stopped wearing anything else on my hands to let my engagement ring do the talking. But now that I’m married (and it’s had its time to shine), I’m much more into adding a stack on my hands. I love the look of two rings together, and I’m all about mixing metals. When it comes to layering necklaces, the limit does not exist.
What’s one styling tip you can give readers when it comes to pairing jewelry with their outfits?
AD: If you’re wearing a simple outfit (like mine), it’s fun to dress it up a bit with some sparkle here and there. Make it interesting by mixing metals and layering different vibes on top of each other. In the moment, you might think it’s going to look crazy, but the end result always looks really good and makes your outfit feel more fun.
