My wardrobe style leans pretty minimalist, but my jewelry takes a slightly different approach. I love to layer and stack a variety of beautiful pieces, and I’m never afraid to mix new and old. Over the years I’ve acquired quite the growing collection, and have discovered some incredible small makers in the process. Brands like Fewer Finer and Melanie Casey have designed many pieces I’ll keep forever, in addition to treasured heirlooms passed down from my grandma.
Personally, I don’t think you ever need a special occasion to wear your fine jewelry. Invest in quality, consider versatility, and slip on your favorites no matter where the day takes you.

The art of ring stacking is simple. Start with your focal point (the engagement ring for me) and add in varying shapes and textures while focusing on balance. I stack rings on both hands and like to switch up my look depending on the day.
