Smaller, delicate accessories were traditionally considered for those who couldn’t afford bigger pieces, but in recent years, they have become a hallmark of contemporary style. Solid 14K gold pieces and 18K gold with silver pieces can enhance your style while saving you money and offering practicality.
Practicality
Smaller-profile silver and gold jewelry pieces offer comfort above all. Smaller chains and earrings make the pieces lighter and easier to wear. This allows for greater practicality in your everyday activities. Stud earrings, for example, could be worn all day, without needing to take them off. The 14K Gold & Diamond Prosecco Heart Earrings or the 14K Gold Cable Paperclip Chain can be worn whether you're traveling, at work, or out with friends for a casual lunch. You can also wear these smaller profile pieces for light physical activities without them getting in the way or being uncomfortable. Just remember, when showering or swimming, you want to take off your jewelry that is not solid gold, as it may affect the shine of the pieces.
Versatility
If you like to layer your pieces, smaller designs can be perfect for adding to your existing jewelry. Layering two or more necklaces, for example, can give a great look if the pieces are the right volume. You can also find smaller pieces that are more versatile across your wardrobe, letting you change your jewelry less often and saving both time and money!
Pieces such as 14K Gold Small Embrace Hoops can be worn with your office attire or dressed up for a night out dancing! Chains are a great place to explore smaller pieces; our Paperclip collection offers a range of gold chains that pair well with everything. This includes the 14K Mini Twist Spiral Paperclip Necklace, 14K Gold Cable Paperclip Chain Bracelet, and the 14K Gold Sole Medium Paperclip Chain. Or better yet, get two and layer them together.
Use Them To Complement Others
The simplicity of smaller pieces lets them complement a statement item you love without having to remove it. If you have a pendant with special meaning or a family heirloom, adding another chain or necklace can really change the statement while keeping something you cherish with you at all times. Slim bracelets, such as our 14K Gold 3.5mm Cable Bangle, can be stacked with other pieces, both larger and smaller. These minimalist pieces let your sentimental or statement items shine while completing your look.
