Do you like wearing silver jewelry?

Well, who doesn’t? Whether it’s a bracelet, necklace, or dainty ring, silver jewelry is one of the best purchases you can buy.

I love the look of silver accessories, but I never knew the benefits of wearing silver!

I did some research and thought it’d be neat to share some of what I found.

Nobody said it better than Coco Chanel herself:

“Before you leave the house, look in the mirror and remove one accessory.”

When we’re young, we’re eager and excited to try everything, and that goes for jewelry, too.

Block novelty bracelets?

Peacock feather earrings?

Big, attention-drawing rings?

Why not!

But as we age, simplicity reflects to the world that we’ve learned a few lessons along the way.

We’re wiser and more confident in who we are.

We know what makes someone worth paying attention to, and it isn’t a statement jewelry piece.

It’s simplicity, style, and sophistication.

We can deny it all we like, but the reality is that a few parts of us age faster than others.

One of the most obvious?Our ears.

As we lose collagen over the years, large earrings pull down on our lobes, making them sag anddrawing attention to every wrinkle.

The solution is simple:dainty, lightweight earrings. Instead of drawing the attention to our ears, simple earrings show we’re stylish in a minimal way.

What’s amazing about simple earrings is they add a touch of elegance to any outfit and highlight your natural beauty in your 40s, 50s, 60s, and beyond.

One of the worst “old lady” jewelry mistakes?

Making everything match.

You know the look—emerald and gold earrings, with a gold necklace and emerald pendant, with gold bracelets and an emerald-studded ring.

Regardless of how it looked in decades past, today it’s one of the most distinctive fashion faux pas.

So how can you create an outfit that looks put together without going overboard into a tacky matchy-matchy look?

Understated metals and gemstones that accent each other and dainty jewelry is the perfect way to do it.

Using the emerald necklace from earlier as a foundational piece, how could we transform that example into an age-defying combination?

First, the ring—slim down the gold band and replace the emerald with a dainty, simple diamond.

Swap the earrings for basic gold studs or pearls.

And following Chanel’s advice, let’s remove one accessory and leave the bracelet at home.

Suddenly, what was an over-the-top statement on poor aging is a graceful yet elegant look that’ll turn heads across the room.

Subtle pairings like this are key.

Oh, and don’t be afraid to mix metals every once in a while.

When done minimally, combining silver and gold jewelry is today’s newest trend.

Did you know that we show our age in our hands first?

Along with your earlobes, jewelryshouldn’t draw attention to your hands.

Large rings might work for younger women, but the sophistication that comes with age dictates otherwise.

Just like your golden years aren’t a good time to start showing off cheetah-print acrylic nails, set the bigger rings aside.

Instead, move towards styles that show off delicate beauty without making your fingers a focal point.

Simple, stackable rings are a great way to decorate your hands without an overpowering look.

A well-placed bangle bracelet—never more than two on each hand—can be a slight statement for when you’re feeling like dressing it up a bit more.

This stage of life is the right time to let rings show your legacy.

The jewelry you wear isn’t just the fast, trendy fashion of your younger days.

What you wear holds meaning and symbolizes who you are and where you’ve been.

Wedding, engagement, and eternity rings will never go out of fashion. They show your commitment and complement any outfit.

Recently, women have become part of a movement to purchases pieces for themselves.

Your jewelry could symbolize an accomplishment, like finally getting that degree.

Or maybe it’s a powerful reminder to yourself that you’re stronger than ever after overcoming heartbreak.

Jewelry is one of the boldest ways to speak to who you’ve grown to be. Nobody said that dainty jewelry can’t be powerful.

As you age, you realize that frenzied fashions aren’t the best use of your time.

While the young people you know feel like slaves to trends, you’ve come to be above all that.

Timeless style is your focus, and dainty jewelry is at the heart of it.

Simple, minimal pieces have stood the test of time for generations.

For example, basic pearl earrings looked fantastic on a young Audrey Hepburn in the 1960s.

They look elegant on the Queen of England today.

And they’ll continue to be fashionable for generations to come.

Looking well and aging gracefully isn’t about flitting from design to design but finding meaningful pieces that will stand the test of time.

There’s something about a piece of jewelry that says a lot about its owner.

I mentioned rings for weddings and life milestones.

But there’s something about a simple piece that speaks to your unique personality.

Some women choose to wear a piece of jewelry every day.

It’s such a key part of who they are, it becomes a signature look.

And the best style for this type of everyday jewelry is dainty pieces.

They don’t get in the way of what you’re doing, and they go perfectly with every outfit. Jewelry is more than just decor.

It’s a means to express yourself.

If you’re struggling to find a new look for a new stage of life, dainty jewelry is the answer.

A few simple changes to your jewelry collection can transform your look.

Thankfully, finding a jewelry style that ages beautifully with you isn’t difficult.

In fact, it’s simplicity itself.
