If you do decide to splurge on a semi-precious or precious stone ring, cocktail styles give you a big bang for your buck. Being such head-turners, they’re often best showcased when worn solo, as pairing it with a necklace, bracelet, or earrings can add too much bling and detract from your overall look. With the current state of the economy leaving most of us with a dwindling accessories budget, a cocktail ring is an easy way to make a style statement without spending a fortune.

Whether you like ornate Victorian detail, or clean modern lines, you can find a pair of long earrings to suit your tastes and make a statement. The graduated descent of chandeliers, the big geometry of hoops, the daring plunge of drop earrings - architectural wonders. Simple or dazzlingly complex, sweep back your hair and let them shine.

This was the point where I said who cares? I like to wear tons of jewelry. And I receive compliments on my quirky style all the time. People are always coming up and touching my pendant, picking it up, flipping it around in their hands or jangling my heap of bracelets which sounds like a wind chime. I think it’s all in how you wear what you wear, not how much of it are you wearing.
