My birthday is this month, and in terms of gifts, as much as I love clothing I would rather be gifted an experience such as a nice meal, a massage, a trip with loved ones. That said, we all know someone who wants to give a gift that can be put in a box and wrapped with a bow. Second to books for me, my love receiving jewelry.
One of my favorite things about jewelry is you can hold onto it forever. I have many pieces from my grandmother that I will never part with.
I realized I did not know much about low-impact jewelry, so I went on the hunt and fell in love with Completed Works.
These pieces below can be worn with anything and elevate your look instantly.
Top Left Clockwise: Post-Capital Stacked Rings, Classicworks Heart, Dark Paradise Earrings, Rhodium Plated Cuff. All Completed Works.
Completed Works has every type of jewelry I am loving: silver stacked rings, pearls upon pearls, beads mixed with diamonds or cubic zirconias, and gold for every day as well as bolder pieces.
All of their gold jewelry is made from either recycled or Fairtrade gold, while a significant proportion of their silver is made from recycled or reclaimed silver. They also work with conflict-free diamonds coming from only companies that adhere to the Kimberly Process. Learn more about their sustainability practices here.

I also love how easily you can change your look with jewelry.
Bold Earrings Styling tip: You can be wearing something very simple: jeans and a t-shirt - throw on a special piece like the unique earrings below, and you can go from working at home to going to the office or going out. I particularly like this high-low way of dressing. Of course you can wear these dressed up too. Whatever you choose, these pieces will update your look in an instant.
