Most of us are used to cleaning our wardrobes ahead of each new season (or at least once a year in the spring). But what about your everyday fine jewelry collection? How long is it since you’ve done a cull of your casual everyday rings?
To be honest, many women would have to admit to keeping nearly every piece of jewelry they’ve ever owned — from those $2 earrings they bought as a teen to that Zulugrass ring they were given by their aunt after her annual trip to Kenya. However, if you don’t actually wear all of your gifted casual rings for women (and it’s fine if you do!), these pieces can become clutter and stop you from reaching your stylistic potential.
If you’re ready to line up your jewelry collection with the person who you are today, join us for a trip into jewelry curation. We’ll start with a few tips for the cull, then explain which casual rings for women you actually need!
Streamline Your Style
Our style inevitably changes as we move through the phases and seasons of life. And it’s important that our clothing and jewelry reflect and embrace the change. When sorting through your casual rings for women, ask yourself the following questions:
- Does this piece express where I’m at today?
- Do the colors and metals match my wardrobe?
- Does the design naturally enhance my beauty?
- Does wearing (or having) this piece bring me joy?
If the answer to some of these questions is “no,” put the piece in a hidden place for six months to see if you look for it or wear it in that time. At the end of six months, donate or sell any jewelry that you haven’t missed. Of course, there may be some pieces in your jewelry box now that you know that you clearly dislike. In that case, sell or donate the piece right away!
Plan Your Everyday Fine Jewelry Collection
Planning your ideal jewelry collection after culling might seem a bit strange. After all, quality jewelry is a significant investment and you might feel like you need an excuse to “splurge.” However, there comes a time in life that you would like your jewelry (just like your lounge suite) to match rather than making do with the odds and ends you could pull together when you were starting out.
If that’s you, it’s time to take a strategic approach to your personal collection of casual rings for women. You’ll buy fewer rings and wear them more. That’s gentler on both your wallet and the environment! Consider the following casual everyday rings for a collection you’ll go to, day in and day out.
Minimalist Everyday Ring
Every woman needs a go-to ring she can slip on each morning as she’s dressing for the day. Your everyday ring quickly becomes part of your outfit — the finishing touch that adds polish and finesse.
For your minimalist everyday ring, we suggest a design that’s comfortable, durable, and created with your daily wardrobe in mind. Gemstone(s) for this ring would be typically small (to avoid them catching on your clothes) and should be set in a durable metal such as 14k gold or palladium.
Stackable
Ok, so one everyday ring might be enough for some ladies, but others prefer a buffet of casual rings for women from which to choose. If you’re a die-hard jewelry collector who likes to match your everyday fine jewelry to your mood, your outfit, or even the day of the week, consider building a collection of stackable rings that all work together.
In your selection of casual everyday rings, find inspiration from your wardrobe, your activities, and the qualities you’d like to build into your life. Here are a few specific ideas:
- Have a ring for each thematic color in your wardrobe.
- Match the metals of your rings to your necklaces and earrings.
- Choose a ring for calm, one for energy, one for warmth, and one for creativity.
- Have a ring to match each month of the year.
Dressy
Whether you have one or several casual rings for women that you go to for everyday wear, you’ll need something a little more dressy for special occasions like birthdays and dinners. Your “special occasions” ring will typically feature more (or larger) gemstones than your everyday ring, along with intricate metalwork that pops against your finger.
While you might choose to have one dressy ring that’s tonally neutral, many women will find that they have two or three main colors for outings. If that’s you, try to have a special ring in both (or all three) of these colors so that you can simply match your ring to your dress.
Statement
The final category of casual rings for women is the one that all extroverts love: statement rings! Popularized in the 1920s, statement jewelry goes above and beyond to be expressive, eye-catching, and over the top.
If you’d like to add a statement piece (or five) to your everyday fine jewelry collection, be sure to match your gemstones and metals and choose something that you personally love rather than a design that’s based on a temporary craze.
