"I have always been a gold-over-silver kinda gal. Gold looks great on all skin tones, especially with the summer glow we'll all be donning soon enough, and it also looks more rich and ornate than other precious metals. Whether you are keeping it simple and looking for a piece to wear every day, in the mood to make a statement, or have a special occasion coming up, gold jewelry is always a must!\\n\\n__![[#image: /photos/]||||||](http://blog.self.com/beauty/blogs/selfstylesecrets/0412%20Vanessa.jpg)__\\n\\n__Personal Necklace__\\n\\n *[Vanessa Mooney Elephant Necklace, $50](http://www.shopbop.com/elephant-necklace-vanessa-mooney/vp/v=1/845524441870338.htm?folderID=2534374302060432&amp;fm=other-shopbysize-viewall&amp;colorId=10070)* Personal jewelry is simple enough to be worn everyday and carries some sort of meaning to the person wearing it. This is lovely piece that I would consider personal since it's minimal, small and the elephant is a symbol of luck. Wear it alone or layer it with some more personal pieces for a boho look.\\n\\n![[#image: /photos/]||||||](http://blog.self.com/beauty/blogs/selfstylesecrets/0412%20Harlow.jpg)\\n\\n __Statement Ring__  \\n*[House of Harlow 1960 14K Gold Plated Starburst Cocktail Ring, $70](http://www.singer22.com/r000738a.html)*\\n\\n Every girl should own some great statement jewelry- like a great shoe or a great bag that can stand on it's own. This House of Harlow 1960 ring does just that. The vibrant abalone leather against the gold hardware is dramatic alone, consider the fact it's 2\\\" wide, this ring with definitely pop. I would wear it with a summery white dress and some simple cork wedges.\\n\\n__![[#image: /photos/]||||||](http://blog.self.com/beauty/blogs/selfstylesecrets/0412%20Kate%20Spade.jpg)__\\n\\n __Special Occasion Earrings__  \\n[*Kate Spade New York 'Tuxedo Pearls' Earrings, $95*](http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/kate-spade-new-york-tuxedo-pearls-earrings/3134207?origin=category&amp;resultback=180)**   \\n Pearls have always suggested elegance and sophistication making these Kate Spade drop earrings perfect for special occasions. They are understated yet glamorous, adding just the right amount of glitz with all those crystals. I would wear them with my hair up and a strapless dress to really emphasize their sparkle.\\n\\n *-- Ola Matulaniec*\\n\\n More Tame That Trend Looks!\\n\\n [Striped Shoes for Any Occasion](/beauty/blogs/selfstylesecrets/2011/04/tame-that-trend-striped-shoes\\\")\\n\\n [Classy, Not Trashy, Cropped Shirts](/beauty/blogs/selfstylesecrets/2011/04/classy-not-trashy-cropped-shir)\\n\\n [Borrow From the Boys with Fun Oxfords](/beauty/blogs/selfstylesecrets/2011/03/tame-that-trend-borrow-from-th)\\n\\n [Stand Out in Graphic Black and White Prints](/beauty/blogs/selfstylesecrets/2011/03/tame-that-trend-stand-out-in-g)"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
