Have you ever felt that something was missing from your outfit? I definitely have. The smallest pieces of jewelry can dramatically change your outfit, for the better.

Even something as simple as a pair of earrings can make a person feel more confident and put together, as it does for me. For me, jewelry is more than just an accessory, but a way people can express themselves and their own personal style. 

There are so many different types of jewelry pieces to choose from, which is one of the many reasons why I like it so much. There are many different types of qualities and materials. There is fine jewelry that is crafted from precious metals and genuine gemstones. There is Demi-Fine jewelry, which is between fine and fashionable. It is just higher quality than fashion jewelry. Fashion/costume jewelry is made of inexpensive materials, often gold-plated. Depending on the type, you purchase it can also be a good investment because some pieces increase in value over time.

I also believe jewelry often becomes a person’s statement piece. I saw one of my friends with a specific necklace so much that when I saw it in the store, I immediately thought of her. Certain jewelry pieces become connected to memories. Jewelry can remind people of special moments in their lives or important relationships.

Jewelry can also hold sentimental value, it can be gifted from a friend/family member, or maybe a wedding ring. I personally have a necklace and a ring gifted to me by two different aunts for my quinceañera. The necklace has my middle name, while the ring has the number 15 on it. This jewelry made me feel more connected to my culture. If you ever wanna gift someone you care about something but are unsure, jewelry is always an option.
