Just the Basics

Filed in archive Designer Jewelry on February 7, 2010

Sometimes you just need basics. Big hoops, delicate necklaces, a little touch of gold to wear with a summer dress.

Zoë Chicco has the ticket. Take, for example, the circle necklace which has been popularized to the point of derision. Just about everyone has a chain with a circle on it - many of said circles are diamond encrusted. If you're unlucky like me, someone gave this object to you. Mine has two circles that refuse to lay flat and are constantly flipping over revealing the non-diamond side. Frustrating.

Zoë Chicco also has circles but hers are really cute. She's not really a gem dealer, so her circles are plain. Some are built into the chain, which is a look I really like. She has a lot of nice gold necklaces that add a certain something to an outfit.

She has a collection I particularly like called "tears" which features some lovely tear-shaped earrings. And did I mention that she has a solid collection of gold hoops?

Not everything she has is inexpensive. In fact, her collection isn't what I'd call cheap, but her designs are tasteful and, well… basic.
