Friday Favorites - My Jewelry Box

I am linking-up with Andrea, Erika, and Narci for another edition of Friday Favorites! This week I'm going to let you know about so of my favorite jewelry pieces! I hope that you all have a great weekend! I can't wait until Sunday and Monday to have my first days off at home in a few weeks!

Finding a jewelry box that I like was very hard for me. I looked everywhere, and found one when I wasn't even looking. After we were married we had a bunch of Pottery Barn gift cards, and I stopped in one day to pick up a few frames and see what I could find. I found my jewelry box, and it was on sale for only $60! It was a steal and I just had to have it!

My jewelry box is no longer available, but Pottery Barn has a few different options available that I really like.

There are some pieces that I wear every day, and others that I wear less often but truly love. I have posted before about my love of Michael Kors watches, which I wear daily. Right now my gold watch clasp is broken, but I am hoping to have it fixed in the next week.

Earrings

I can only wear stud earrings. When I was a child I got a diamond stuck in my ear, and upon removing it the pierced hole stretched and I can't wear earrings other than studs because of this. The most worn pair of earrings are my diamonds, which were my wedding gift from Jonathan. Other than those, I wear a variety of different earrings based on my mood. These are the most common earrings you will find me in.

Rings

On my left hand I wear my engagement ring, wedding band, and band that Jonathan gave me when Jillian Harper was born. I never wear any other rings on that hand. On my left hand I either go without a ring, or wear the blue ring that Jonathan gave me on our anniversary just before we were married.

Necklaces

I wear a necklace every day, but it seems that they are the piece of jewelry that I most often change. I have a yellow gold diamond necklace, which was my mom's. My white gold diamond necklace was a gift from Jonathan. [He has great taste in jewelry and always picks out things I love] In addition to these, if I want something simple I typically lean towards wearing my gold Kate Spade Say Yes "Mrs" necklace, or silver Tiffany & Co. necklace. I also have a rose gold Jillian necklace, silver J&J necklace, and gold Ohio necklace. For more of a statement, I love j.crew pieces, or my Kendra Scott.

Bracelets

I am pretty picky about bracelets and seem to have a hard time finding gold bracelets that I like. I buy one, wear it for a few months then decide I don't like it. Right now I am between wearing a j.crew and a Kate Spade gold bangle, sometimes wearing them both. If I am wearing silver jewelry there are more that I love. I choose from a combination of my Pandora bracelet, Jillian bangle, or David Yurman bracelet. My Jillian bangle will not photograph well, but is a 1-inch think bangle with her name engraved on it, Bridget and Finn gave it to me for Mother's Day last year.

While many of these pieces have been staples for years, I like to mix it up with statement pieces too! What are your favorites? Do you have any recommendations of brands I have to try? Let me know!
