The Link: Classic Jewelry for Everyday, Always in Fashion



It’s so easy to get caught up in the latest, most in-demand looks—and that’s not at all a bad thing. I love embracing new (or “new again”) styles, or trying something that I’ve never worn (or never thought I’d wear) before. There are also times, though, that you just want something simple. Something you know will always be steadfastly stylish, dare I even call it “no-fuss.” I feel that way about link jewelry.

Sure, the link motif has moments of epic popularity, but much like celestial jewelry or the single solitaire, it’s never really out of fashion. It can, at times, appear incredibly polished, but it can also be chic, modern, and even downright edgy.

I suppose it all depends on how it’s styled, or what metal and gemstones the motif is crafted with in the first place. I’ve found some fantastic examples below—each has a lot in common with the grouping, but they’re also quite different from one another, showing the range link-based jewelry really has.
