I suppose my style could be considered on the simple side all around. I like to pick one statement piece and keep the rest of my outfit more refined. I usually shy away from bold color and almost always gravitate toward neutrals. Now, simple doesn't necessarily mean boring. I like to play with different textures and shapes to add interest to my outfits.
My minimalistic approach also applies to jewelry: I strictly wear gold and lean toward pieces that are a bit understated. Where I want to add interest, I'll usually layer a few simpler pieces together to create a unique look. With my minimalist aesthetic in mind, I scanned all of my favorite jewelry brands for the best affordable pieces around right now. From the chain-link earrings that are perfectly on-trend for spring to the stackable ring set made up of unique shapes, below are the 28 best minimalist jewelry pieces I've seen this year.
