With all of the stacking and layering of jewelry lately, it seems only right that sleek, simple styles would be among your most popular sellers. These basic styles have a collectibility about them: petite pendants, stud earrings, long necklaces in white or yellow metals, sometimes sprinkled with diamonds, sometimes not, and coming in every shape from a simple triangle to a horseshoe to an animal silhouette. The term basic isn’t the way it sounds—I feel like that word has gotten somewhat of a bad rap. The more simple pieces one has, the more looks she can create by combining them, or wearing them alone. This is why jewels as versatile as these are destined to be your best sellers this holiday season. One can never have enough staples like these, and there’s more room in one’s jewelry box (and budget) for plenty. Basic in theory, perhaps, but never, ever boring, and oh, so hot right now. Check ’em out.
