Some women have a signature scent, but I have a go-to jewelry combination I wear day and night, work and weekends. It’s quite simple: a gold pendant and a bracelet, with small diamond earrings when I want a little shine. As a jewelry minimalist, that’s my idea of being fully accessorized. It works with practically everything I own, which is probably why I keep coming back to it.
Once I find something I love, I tend to keep it in the family. With T by Tiffany, the slim proportions and clean lines win me over. The Small Smile Pendant, T Wire Bracelet, and Mini Smile Earrings with diamonds, all in 18-karat yellow gold, have the delicacy I gravitate toward, with enough presence to feel fully accessorized.
Ahead, take a closer look at each piece—and how I style them together, with a few longtime favorites mixed in.
Gold Pieces That Get Along With Everything
T by Tiffany’s clean lines and 18-karat yellow gold make these three pieces especially easy to mix into your jewelry wardrobe. The Smile Pendant and diamond Smile earrings share that cheeky curve, while the T Wire Bracelet brings a more angular shape to the mix. They look beautiful together and slip just as easily into the company of a favorite chain, a stack of rings, or the timepiece you never take off.
A Shared History, Different Expressions
T by Tiffany takes inspiration from a 1975 archival bracelet and the house’s T motif, giving these pieces a connection that goes beyond their yellow gold. Look at how the letter flanks both ends of the Wire Bracelet, then turns a curved line into a grin in the Smile designs. I’m partial to that kind of ingenuity: a recognizable motif with enough variety to keep a jewelry enthusiast interested.
Let Your Personal Style Lead
Start with the piece you’d be most disappointed to leave home without. For me, that’s usually earrings, and the Mini Smile Earrings with diamonds bring just the right amount of levity to my everyday uniform. If a necklace is your nonnegotiable, the Small Smile Pendant gives an open neckline a beautiful touch of shine. And if your bracelet stack is practically part of your identity, make room for the T Wire Bracelet. Your existing favorites can join in from there, or you can keep it simple and sophisticated.
A Few Favorite Ways to Wear Them
My formula for styling T by Tiffany is to think about the parts of your look that could use a little shine and work backward. The Small Smile Pendant and T Wire Bracelet give you gold at the neckline and wrist—a combination I’d wear with a very ’90s V-neck sweater and jeans. For dinner, I’d throw on a black turtleneck, swap out the necklace and bring in the diamond Smile earrings—especially with my hair up.
A Collection You Can Build Over Time
The lovely thing about T by Tiffany is that you can build your collection over a few occasions and discover your favorite combinations as you go. A birthday pendant, an anniversary bracelet, diamond earrings to celebrate something you’ve worked hard for—each can have its own story and still look excellent with the others. If someone you love already wears one, consider that a very useful hint for their next gift.
