A calendar full of cocktail parties, date nights, special occasions and galas can feel overwhelming, but it’s also an invitation to have fun with fashion. The right jewelry sets the mood for the evening and lets your confidence take center stage.
Here are recommendations for every evening occasion from intimate dinners to black-tie galas.

Tips for choosing the best finishing touches
To accessorize with intention, many follow the “Rule of One,” or choose a main focal point. For example, if you’re wearing the Confetti Drop Earrings, keep the necklace understated.
However, for prestigious events, embrace a maximalist approach, stacking bracelets, rings and necklaces or mixing metals, gemstones and diamond cuts for an attention-grabbing look.
Shop evening-out jewelry
Wearing jewelry is an inspiring way to express yourself. The right piece can make any woman feel confident and radiant on any occasion.
