Who doesn’t like getting more bang for their buck? Especially when today’s wallets are a little leaner than in years past. Happily for retailers, the selection of reversible and convertible jewels available now—earring studs with jackets, detachable center stones that can be swapped out for others, and pieces that hook together to add length—has vast appeal. Think of cuff bracelets from Alex Soldier with detachable brooches, gold chains and bracelets from Mattioli that connect for versatility of wear, earring charms from Oliver Smith Jeweler that pack multiple looks in single pairs, and two-sided styles with different but beautiful aesthetics to transition from day to night wear. With combinations as varied as designs, the toughest choice will be deciding which jewelry to wear first.
