The Best Fashionable Jewelry for Tasteful Women

Amazon Collection White Gold Diamond Studs (BEST CHOICE)

Simple and classy. That describes our best choice, the Amazon Collection White Gold Diamond Studs, perfectly. Sparkly, diamond studs are the timeless, tasteful touch to any outfit. They’re just the ideal size for versatility. You can wear them on their own or with statement hoops or danglers, with the studs in the double piercing.

The 14k White Gold Studs are post studs with a screw back. A screw back adds an extra sense of security; you’re not going to lose one when pulling your hair back and be stuck with an incomplete set. They have a simple four-prong setting. The diamonds are AGS certified and yield to the Kimberly Process; buyers can rest assured the diamonds are of high quality and were consciously mined and produced.

Anne Klein Diamond Dial Bracelet Watch

Deep emerald green paired with rose gold? Sign me up. If emerald and rose gold isn’t exactly your idea of tasteful, the Anne Klein Diamond Dial Bracelet Watch is available in ten colorways; Anne Klein knows we’re not all one and the same. The Genuine Diamond Dial Bracelet Watch’s simplicity will add a touch of class to any outfit without overdoing it.

The watch features Japanese Quartz Watch Movement, covered with a mineral crystal inside a 32-mm case. A simple emerald green dial is accented with a sole diamond at 12 o’clock, with smaller rose gold markers at three, six, and nine o’clock and rose gold watch hands. The link bracelet is adjustable with a jewelry clasp and extender.

Fettero Tiny 14K Gold Initial Heart Necklace

Are you looking for jewelry gifts for women this holiday season? The Fettero Tiny 14K Gold Initial Heat Necklace is an elegant contender. Small and personal, the necklace is perfect for any female in your family: your favorite niece, a young daughter, or a small gift for mom. The dainty charm and chain add a simple flare without drawing too much attention.

The heart necklace is 14k gold plated and adjustable up to two inches. It has a 13.8-inch Rolo chain with a 2-inch extension chain and lobster clasp. Engraved on the heart can be a letter to represent the individual wearing it so someone close to their heart. It is hypoallergenic, so sensitive skin won’t act up under the touch.

Purchase

Silvershake Natural Moonstone Solitaire Ring

Tap into your spiritual side without the gaudy, arcade mood ring, but with a moonstone gem and a piece of silver jewelry for women. The Silvershake Natural Moonstone Solitare Ring is a mystic old-style ring with a Victorian touch.

It is 925 sterling silver and has an intricate frame around a natural moonstone. Moonstones are known to nourish feminity and healing energy while enhancing intuition and allowing self-discovery, abling wearers to face mystery head-on.

Purchase

PAVOI 14K Gold Plated Classic Tennis Bracelet

Sometimes, the only jewelry needed is one sparkly, statement piece. A piece that adds a punch to your elegant look without drawing eyes away from your ensemble — like the Isadora pendant necklace worn on Kate Hudson in the movie How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days. The PAVOI 14K Gold Classic Tennis Bracelet is that statement piece.

The continuous bracelet of 3mm AAA+ cubic zirconia stones set in four-prong settings doesn’t need to be worn with anything else — maybe only the best choice studs from above. Three lengths are available, 6.5, 7.0, and 7.5 inches, in various gold options, depending on your typical style or a specific look. It’s statement gold jewelry for women.

Purchase

HEIMAXING Fashion Brooch Pins for Women

The HEIMAXING Fashion Brooch Pins for Women are a low cost, versatile addition to any formal attire. They’re also a great option if you have cardigans or shirts that don’t have any form of button or clasp to fasten the clothing around your body.

The set comes with three brooches and is a total bargain! They feature a durable design, with either a bent or right-angle attachment bar, with a fade-free faux pearl on each end. You can choose between three of the same color or assort the three different colorways for various styles.

Purchase

Amazon Sterling Silver Pressed Flower Teardrop Earrings

With the Amazon Sterling Silver Pressed Flower Teardrop Earrings, you’ll be carrying a piece of Mother Nature every time you wear them. The unique earrings feature real dried flowers, grown in Taxco, Mexico, preserved in resin, and set into sterling silver.

There are eight different floral designs to choose from, and keep in mind since these pieces are solely unique, what you receive may slightly differ from the picture. The earrings have fishhook backings and have an electrocoating for a smooth finish.

Purchase

Anne Klein Women’s Resin Bracelet Watch

If you liked the Anne Klein watch from above but weren’t sold on it, maybe the Anne Klein Women’s Resin Bracelet Watch will have better luck. The watch is still a two-way color scheme but with the band’s central links matching the dial and the interior bezel. We, personally, like the simple but bold black and gold combination, but the watch is available in 12 other color schemes.

The Resin Bracelet Dress Watch features Japanese Quartz watch movement with a mineral crystal dial. It is slightly larger than our first Anne Klein design with a 37mm case but has the same jewelry clasp closure. The watch is water-resistant to 30 meters (99 ft), but in general, prolonged exposure to water is not good for the watch.

Purchase

Kendra Scott Elisa Pendant Necklace

Kendra Scott has quickly become a recognizable jewelry design company, making feminine and fashionable jewelry for women. The pieces range from rings to large statement necklaces to jewelry boxes, but a staple Kendra Scott necklace is the Kendra Scott Elisa Pendant Necklace. With dozens of colorways — silver to gold, from abalone shell to opal — there will be an Elisa Pendant for you or to give as a gift for the ladies in your life.

The chosen stone is set with four prongs, surrounded by a bezel that matches the 15-inch chain. The chain has a two-inch extension and a lobster claw clasp. Everyday wear is what designers had in mind while making the pendant; make it your everyday staple.

Purchase

PAVOI Diamond Stackable Ring

Fashionable jewelry for tasteful women doesn’t stop once past your headshot. Your hands need some lovin’ as well. While it seems larger gemstones like turquoise and quartz set in creative sterling silver bezels on the rise, the PAVOI Diamond Stackable Ring brings us back home with an elegant, dainty ring — or three.

With tiny AAAAA quality cubic zirconia diamonds around the entire band, the ring packs a simple but loud punch. The rings are sterling silver, plated with your choice of silver, white-gold, yellow-gold, or rose gold. There’s also an option to get a tri-colored set.

Purchase

Michael Kors Women’s Stainless Steel Bangle Bracelet

Complete the gold jewelry set for women this holiday season by coupling the with the Michael Kors Women’s Stainless Steel Bangle Bracelet with the PAVOI stackables above. The two complement each other seamlessly.

The bangle bracelet looks like two bangles, but it is indeed one bracelet attached at the hinge and clasp. It features a thin pave crystal bracelet attached to a thicker bangle adorned with the logo of Michael Kors. The bracelet is an excellent choice as stainless steel jewelry for women.

Purchase

eGlomart 9-Pack Rose Gold Rhinestone Brooches

If you require a few pieces of rose gold jewelry for women, the eGlomart Rose-Gold Rhinestone Brooches will fill your void. The set comes with nine individual brooches, each unique from the others. It could be a great stocking stuffer for multiple tasteful women in your family.

They range from 1 to 3 inches in size and have a rose gold plated metal base. The brooches are floral-inspired designs of rhinestones and off white pearls.

Fashionable Jewelry for Tasteful Women Buying Guide

Features to Look for in Fashionable Jewelry for Tasteful Women

While it’s straightforward to find a piece of jewelry that you love, there are a few features to check out to make sure you’re getting a quality piece. With different types of jewelry, various components will arise but generally, pay attention to what material is used, the size, and a durable clasp and chain to ensure you won’t lose your new necklace or bracelet.

Size – As we mentioned earlier, not everyone is the same — style and size.

Most women’s rings will come in a range of sizes from about 5 to 10; most jewelry stores will size your fingers for no cost if you do not know your size. Or you can head to a close department store and try on some rings and figure your size that way. Sometimes, your ring size may differ depending on the ring’s width: as the ring’s width goes up, your size may go up by one.

Bracelets are less common to find in different sizes. Sometimes they come with extension chains to adjust the size, but that can create a dangly chain and annoyance. Be careful with bangles as well, some may have an extension or a hitch and clasp, but most will slide over your hand and stay until a little force is applied to get them off.

With Necklaces, you’ll find that they’ll come with a chain length in inches or centimeters, especially online. If you have a favorite necklace and a tape measure, this length is pretty easy to find before you make a purchase. When it’s written like ’13 inches plus 2 inches,’ it means there’s a two-inch extension chain to adjust.

The size of earrings and brooches is up to the wearer! There’s plenty of tasteful earrings that are larger and little brooches to add to your formal wear.

Weight – While the weight of necklaces, bracelets, and rings is not often paid attention to, earrings and brooches can cause some irritation if too heavy. Earrings on the heavier side can pull on your earlobes and not lay correctly, changing how the earring is supposed to look or designed.

Brooches, if they’re too heavy, the weight of them will pull at your clothing, and the face of the pin will start to face the floor instead of facing your guests in front of you. Not only that, but your clothing will no longer lay as it should against your skin.

Stones – Whether buying diamonds or any other gem, you should pay attention to where your stones are coming from and how they are mined, produced, and sold.

With gems, ensure they’re natural and harvested legally.

With diamonds, you might see a few disclaimers about the diamonds when perusing for your next piece of jewelry. The Kimberly Process is a member-based scheme that regulates and requires certification of rough diamonds to ensure diamonds are not entering the market illegitimately or are from “conflict” zones, also known as ‘blood diamonds.’

The GIA and AGS diamond certification market on diamonds make it known the color, cut quality, and clarity ore on par with industry standards or are superior to diamonds without those markers.

Metals – We’ve all had a ring that, after time, turns our finger green and the inside of the ring becomes tarnished. Or a necklace that irritates your shoulders and causes discomfort. Usually, these pieces of jewelry are cheap metals that keep the prices of the jewelry low. To avoid irritants, discoloration, or poor quality, research the metals used in making the jewelry; a safe bet for jewelry is sterling silver, gold (yellow, rose, or white), and platinum.

Clasps and Chains – There are many types of chains — braid, Z snake, snake, curb, six side curb, wheat, box — the list is endless, and some chains have more than one name. Used in all necklaces and daintier bracelets, mostly likely chains won’t break unless improperly taken care of or bent. When traveling, a jewelry case that keeps necklaces flat rather than bunched will increase the longevity of your favorite piece.

Clasps on both bracelets, watches, and necklaces will all differ slightly.

The strongest and most reliable necklace and chain bracelet clasps will be lobster claws, springing, and fishhooks. Watch clasps are pretty standard, depending on the strap. Leather or faux leather material often comes with buckle-style clasps, whereas metal straps either feature jewelry clasps or fold-over deployment clasps.
