Amanda’s Style File: Dainty Delights
While statement pieces always shine, it’s time for everyday staples to be the star of the show.
The “Noeud” ring by Yvonne Léon is one of 17 pieces in Amanda’s Style File that can become their wearer’s next everyday staple.
Jewelry doesn’t have to be bold to make a statement. Sometimes, it is the simplest items that have the biggest impact.
In a world where bigger is usually better, delicate pieces of jewelry are the perfect staples that get worn day-in and day-out and perfectly complete an outfit.
Dainty jewelry styles include delicate cuff bracelets, simple yet stunning stud earrings, picture perfect pendants, and rings that are just the right size.
Smaller pieces of jewelry don’t always get the recognition they deserve because they aren’t flashy or trendy. However, these dainty delights are demure and, quite frankly, a breath of fresh air.
Here are 17 of Amanda’s Style File selects where dainty jewelry becomes the star of the show.
