Stella & Dot Bracelet Bar ($29)
A few weeks ago, I posted an Instagram photo of my jewelry table. Instead of putting all of my jewelry in a box, I like to be able to see it. Being able to look at all of my jewelry helps me choose what I want to wear and put together new combinations.
I love the display pieces that Stella & Dot sells. They’re far cheaper than what you would find in most stores, and they have a great, neutral style to them. I also recommend this ring and earring box and this necklace tree.
When I bought my bracelet bar from Stella & Dot, I purchased another one to giveaway. To enter, leave a comment answering the following question: What is your favorite piece of jewelry? And don’t forget to use your real e-mail address to comment so that I can contact the winner
Good luck!
I love my Kendra Scott Madina Earrings in gold — they are the only dangly earrings I will wear!
Oh, this is a great bracelet holder! My favorite piece of jewelry is my silver snake ring with red diamond eyes. So unexpected with a girly outfit. Thanks for doing a giveaway. lindaloui232(at)msn(dot)com
Although the easy answer is “my wedding and engagement rings,” I’m incredibly attached to an antique sapphire ring that was the first real piece of jewelry from my dad to my mom. It goes with everything and always makes me happy to see it on my finger!
An anklet that i inherited from my grandmother. It used to be a necklace and my aunt divided it between myself, my sister and female cousin so we could all have a piece of my grandma’s jewelry. I don’t remember meeting her so it means a lot
My favorite is a diamond pendant made of a diamond that was my late grandfather’s pinky ring. It’s a perfect, shiny bit of bling that always keeps him with me!
Thanks for the giveaway! My favorite piece of jewelry is a diamond and sapphire ring that my grandmother passed down to to me.
I love my watches. They are professional while also adding a much needed dose of style to my sometimes boring outfits.
Great giveaway Belle. My favourite jewelry is a gold-filled bangle my then-boyfriend-now-husband bought in a flea market. I rarely take it off and it still looks as good as new – 8 years on.
My favorite piece of jewelry is my right hand ring – a pretty aquamarine cushion stone set with tiny diamonds in the thin band. My husband gave it to me while on leave during his final deployment, and it is my parent’s birthstone, so it is special to me. I wear it every day.
Apart from the obvious (wedding and engagement rings), my favorite pieces of jewelry are my large Kenneth Jay Lane emerald color earrings. Lots of drama!
My favorite piece of jewelry is my 1 ct. diamond stud earrings because it was the first piece of jewelry that I purchased on my own!
Your blog is an absolute delight.
My favorite piece of jewelry is an antique art-deco white sapphire ring. I love old jewelry.
My favorite piece of jewelry is an open heart silver Tiffany ring my husband gave me after we had been dating for a year. 10 years later I still wear it almost daily.
What a great holder! I really like my grandmother’s charm bracelet that she passed down to me.
My wedding band is probably my favorite piece of jewelry — sentimental AND blingy 🙂

My favorite piece is a gold Kate Spade bangle. It was a gift for being MOH at my sister’s wedding plus it goes with everything. Sentimental AND functional!

The emerald ring my grandmother left me. I wear it almost every day.
My favorite jewelry piece is a necklace with a small charm. It was a birthday gift from my mom when I was a college freshman, and reminds me of her daily.
My favorite piece of jewelry is one that you recommended — the rebel pendant from Stella and Dot. Beyond that, I love the set of diamond and sapphire earrings my mom made for me for my 21st birthday. They get way too much use…
My gold necklace with a small gold locket. I keep the initials of my husband on one side, and those of my younger brother who passed away on the other.
My favorite piece of jewelry is a platinum heart pendant necklace from Blue Nile that my kids gave me for Christmas many years ago. I wear it almost daily.
My favorite piece of jewelry is a gold monogram necklace my sister gave me.
Definitely my wedding band. After that, I’m in love with the Stella & Dot rebel pendant in silver!
This bracelet bar is fantastic! I have thought about getting it ever since I saw your closet picture…by the way, thank you for posting your closet pics. I have wondered if your closet was put together neatly and would love a post about your closet basics or more about how you arrange, store or care for your clothing. And really enjoy the blog, so thanks for keeping it up since your move.
My fave piece of practical jewelry (that I wear a lot) is a gold status link bracelet from J. Crew…it looks polished with most outfits and can work with most everything, but I have a Stella & Dot snake bangle that is so much fun when I can wear it. I bought it a few years ago to support a friend who was selling S & D, but it ended up being the best buy!
I love a cameo necklace I have that my grandfather purchased while fighting in France during World War II. He sent it home to his mother in Chicago, and it has been passed down.
My favorite piece of jewelry is a necklace my little sister gave me for Christmas a few years ago. It has two birds on it that she called “sister birds”; they represent her and I.

My favorite piece of jewelry is my grandmother’s wedding band which was passed down to me.
A natural emerald ring my mother gave me for my 20th birthday. It was the first piece of jewelry my dad gave my mom so it has great sentimental value.

I have my grandmother’s and great-grandmother’s wedding rings soldered together. It’s hands down my favorite.
My favorite piece of jewelry is a necklace I bought in India several years ago. I love the combination of coral and turqoise
My favorite piece of jewelry are the pearl earrings out of a necklace & bracelet set my younger brother bought for me for Christmas one year. We typically only give gifts to the younger kids during the holidays because of our large family so I was quite shocked when he surprised me with them. He said it was for being such an awesome big sis. He passed away a year and a half ago so these definitely hold a special place in my heart. And while the earrings have no business on a bracelet bar, the remaining items of the set do!! Lol
I love my pearl and diamond earrings. They were a gift from my parents.
My favorite piece of jewelry is a Heather Benjamin ring that one of my sisters gifted to me. It is a size and shape that I wouldn’t have picked out for myself, but I love it.
It’s very similar to this: https://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/pdp/detail.jsp?&id=23621980#/
My favorite is an aquamarine ring that used to belong to my grandmother. We were both born in March, and it’s our birthstone!
The beautiful drop necklace my now sister-in-law made for me to wear in her wedding!
My favorite jewelry piece is an octopus cocktail ring. It is paved and the legs of the octopus wrap around your finger to form the ring. I wear it with a LBD cocktail dress or something understated to give a little pop of something unexpected.
My two favorite pieces are 1. a wooden necklace I bought years ago at Old Navy, every time I wear it I get tons of complements, 2. a vintage gold necklace I stole from my mom’s closet. These are the perfect go-to pieces that automatically take an outfit up a notch.
I have 2 favorite pieces of jewelry. The first, my “nice” piece is the 1.5 carat aquamarine and dimon-chip ring I got from my mom when I graduated from college. It’s just a really beautiful piece (and doubles as creepy man repellant at bars when worn on my left hand).
I also love the “belt” bracelet I bought from BaubleBar because, with its 3 size options, is one of the few bangle bracelets that fits my large wrist.
I love wearing my Premier Designs faux pearl necklace. At 96 inches (or similiar) long, I can style it a different way each day of the week and play it up or down! Love it!
I have a new and an old category. In the old, I have my grandmother’s diamond and platinum wedding rings from the early ’30s. In the new I have the Hermes enamel bracelet decorated with horses my husband bought me for my birthday
My favorite piece of jewelry is an antique diamond necklace that used to belong to my great-great-grandmother, we even have a painted portrait of her wearing it. Its been passed down through the women on my dad’s side of the family and it was just gifted to me for my law school graduation. Such a special piece and special memory attached to it.
Hands down: my mother’s childhood charm bracelet. Honorable mentions: my grandmother’s engagement ring and the Mikimoto pearl and diamond necklace she brought me when we visited her native Japan 14 years ago.
My favorite is a silver treble clef ring that I bought from a street vendor several years ago.
I like traditional jewelry, and my favorite is a pair of diamond stud earrings.
My pearl earrings!
My “Mom said so” kate spade gold necklace!!
Hmm that’s a tough one! I have old standby’s that are in constant rotationn, but I think my favourite (as in, I would hate to ever lose it) would be the Claddagh ring my grandmother brought me home from Ireland when I was a teenager. It makes me think of her and how excited she was to see her parents’ home country! Thanks for hosting the giveaway Belle!
My favorite piece of jewelry is a beautiful ring that was handed down to me from my grandma. The center stone had cracked, so my parents secretly replaced it with a beautiful onyx and surprised me on my graduation day. It’s gorgeous!
I think my favorite is an antique bracelet found on a trip to WI! It reminds me of a nice trip but is also beautiful on its own, :).
I have a sterling silver necklace that a former employee brought to me after a trip to Indonesia, many years ago. It has such a classic look that I can wear it with almost anything (and do!). It never seems to go out of style. I would be bereft without it!
My engagement ring! My husband designed it for me and it’s nothing I would have ever picked for myself, but it’s perfect! Also love my Kate Spade drop earrings that I bought for my first inauguration ball.
My wedding band and engagement rings are my true favorite pieces, but beyond those I love my “Winchester” bracelet. It’s a silver bracelet from Old Town Silversmith in Winchester, VA and not only is it pretty, but it’s a fun thing to mark someone as a local.
My favorite piece is a small gold cross necklace my great-grandmother (whom I’m named after) gave me at my baptism. I found out 20 years after her death it was actually hers, and her sister had a matching one.
My dad was stationed in Italy for several months when I was about 10. For my birthday one year, he got me a beautiful cameo ring that I don’t wear nearly enough. It was a little mature for a 10 year old, but it’s such a treasure and I’m so glad he thought about me while he was in Italy.
My most treasured piece of jewelry is the very first piece of jewelry my husband bought me- a diamond tennis bracelet. Of course I love every other piece he’s gotten me, (especially my engagement and wedding bands) but this bracelet has a special place in my heart because it reminds me how exciting and lucky it felt to be falling in love.
It’s an eco-friendly necklace my mother bought me from the Smithsonian gift shop years ago. (Similar style seen here: https://fab.com/product/hawaii-necklace-black-463264/?ref=browse&pos=0) I love the style, and also appreciate that she selected such a great piece for me despite the fact that her own style is different.
This is a great way to display your pretty baubles!
My favorite piece of jewelry is a cheap jade ring I purchased in Chicago’s Chinatown when on a girl’s weekend with my best friend. I wear it all of the time and it has become part of my signature look. Understated and reminds me of my nearest and dearest friend.
My favorite piece is an amazing gold necklace I got at a tiny boutique in Tel Aviv. I bought it on a whim and have gotten compliments every time I wear it.

House of Harlow star necklace

Thanks for the giveaway!
The bracelet my husband gave me when we were dating – it was his biological mother’s.

A simple Movado watch that was my high school graduation present

Ooooh! My favorite piece is definitely my Kate Spade “Mrs.” necklace that I received as a bridal shower gift. It’s so simple and feminine! Thanks, Belle 🙂
My favorite piece of jewelry is a diamond ring that my parents gave me for my college graduation. The diamonds were in my grandmother’s wedding band, and my mom wore the diamonds with her wedding band before giving them to me.
Looks like everyone is going with the “sentimental”piece which is quite hard to argue against! In addition to the family heirlooms, my favorite piece is the TAG watch I purchased for myself while on a Caribbean cruise. It has a black face with diamonds around it for just the right amount of bling. It never goes out of style as I still get compliments several years later. A great investment for something you wear daily. And the thrill of the negotiations plus the memories of my wonderful trip provide the sentimental meaning.
My watch I got as a law school graduation present from my parents!
I’ve been wearing my claddagh ring every day for 7 years. I got it for myself – I like that it’s been with me for so long and the connection to my heritage. 🙂

I bought myself a “big girl” watch with my first sizeable paycheck… a nice two-tone Tag with diamonds. I feel proud of how hard I work to earn that every time I look down.
So many! My great great aunt’s retro silver diamond bow ring! My Kate Spade Marina Bay yellow necklace.
My engagement ring still makes my heart skip! Tacori solitaire oval cut with extra little diamonds everywhere. Delish. I also love wearing a simple monogrammed necklace my husband gave me on our wedding day.
My favorite piece of jewelry is actually several pieces. My parents brought me back a stack of silver bracelets after going to Cancun when I was 15. I am 36, and I still wear them. I put them away for a few years and then get them back out. Usually I wear 1 or 2 with my watch. Sometimes I wear the whole stack.

Love, love, love times infinity my Kendra Scott blue and turquoise statement necklace. I would wear it everyday if I could.
I display my jewelry too. I especially like being able to see my pearls since they get a little less wear now that I work at a more casual office. But my favorite piece of jewelry is my stainless steel Seiko watch. I wear it nearly every day.
My wedding band and engagement ring are a given. Other than those, I wear my grandmother’s, and great-grandmother’s wedding bands every day.

I wear them on days that are more often than not mundane and they make me smile thinking of her!
I used to always make fun of southern girls who wear pearls to football games because I’m from the rainy PNW.

The cross that my grandmother gave me.
My favorite piece is a white gold diamond solitaire necklace–the diamond came from the stone that was in my grandmother’s wedding ring that she turned into jewelry for her granddaughters. It’s a small stone, but incredibly priceless to me.

I have a gorgeous statement necklace from J.Crew I got on clearance that I love. Either that or the rings my grandmother gave me.
My favorite piece of jewelry is a jade pendant on a delicate, braided chain that my grandfather gave to my grandmother many years ago.
I probably should say my wedding and engagement rings but honestly its this fairly inexpensive necklace (from like JCPenny or Macys) that my husband bought me back when we were first dating. It’s the first piece of jewelry he ever gave me and it has nice sentimental value. I still get a lot of wear out of it too.
My engagement ring for sure!
My engagement ring and my mother’s wedding bands.
Oh geez…probably my pearl necklace. It was a gift from my parents years ago.
My favorite is a ring I inherited from my grandmother. It’s a thin gold band with a marquise cut white opal and two small diamonds on either side.
My wedding band.
I absolutely love my HM Willow bracelets! I just found them and I love mixing and matching them!
A gold necklace that was my grandma’s.
To make the decision easier I chose the piece I’ve been wearing the most often lately. My antique bronze Falling Whistle necklace is surprisingly versatile to dress up the most basic outfit or add an edgy element to something dressier (I especially love it layered in that case). Proceeds go toward peace in the Congo. I won it at a silent auction benefiting a local non-profit so its purchase actually helped two organizations and it’s a great conversation starter. 🙂
My secret favorite piece of jewelry is my mom’s wedding ring. It’s just a simple yellow gold band with five round diamonds, the one in the middle the biggest but still understated. It’s my favorite because it’s the ring I always wanted, and always admired it on my mom, but I was never the type to announce such a thing to my boyfriend-now-husband. And it’s also sort of secret, because the reason I have it is not some bittersweet tragedy like my mom died, but my parents divorced, and my mom gave me the ring. So I feel awkward wearing it around family, so I don’t, but I can’t leave it setting in my jewelry box otherwise!
After my grandmother passed away, my grandfather had the diamonds in her engagement ring turned into earrings and gave them to me when I graduated high school. They’re definitely the piece of jewelry that mean the most to me!

My gold name necklace, like the one Carrie wore in Sex and the City. It was my very first purchase with my first paycheck from my first job as a teen in 1994. I still rock it 20 years later!
Mine is my mother’s class ring; I remember seeing it as a young girl and I found it recently when I was looking for my mother’s wedding/engagement rings for her viewing. At that time it was comforting to wear it as a piece of her-now I love the reminder I have her hands. It’s very delicate and very 60s-so pretty!
A gorgeous, big, tricolor gold cocktail ring that my grandmother left me. I had a break-in 6 months back and it is the only piece of fine jewelry not stolen, and the only piece that would have been irreplaceable!
My wedding ring set

I have so many favorite pieces of jewelry! One is an Alex and Ani bracelet that my aunt got me for my graduation gift, another is a blue opal ring that was my grandmothers. Possibly my top favorite is my high school class ring, it’s not big or clunky like a traditional class ring, because I went to a private, all-girls school, it’s a little different. The ring has a slim, elegant, silver band, that widens into a blue stone with the school crest in silver on it. My name is inscribed on the inside of the thin band. I love the ring because it reminds me of how close my small class was, we were all like sisters, and no matter where we are in the world now, we all have that same ring, with our name on the inside.
My favorite is my hook bracelet and ring from St. Croix. I always receive compliments and they are always a conversation starter when I am around people from the Caribbean
My favorite piece of jewelry is a custom made name plate my dad gave to me when I was about 10 years old. He’s a jeweler so every step (from drawing the name, to casting it, to diamond cuts, etc.) was all done by him. I just love it.
It’s a toss-up between the watch I bought myself when I got my first really big promotion at work and the necklace my mother gave me for my 25th birthday (which her father had given to her on her 25th. The small gold heart pendant with diamonds on a delicate chain will never go out of style.
My favorite piece of jewelry is my tiny elephant necklace from Jcrew! I even have a second one as a backup.

The ring my mom gave me on my 15th birthday remains a favorite of mine. I don’t wear it now because I have an engagement ring on and they are different metals, but I am hoping to pass it on to a daughter of mine one day.
My favorite piece of jewelry (at the moment, as I’m something of an addict!) is a round carnelian ring set in stone recently given to me by my grandmother. She has a matching, larger carnelian stone that I had admired the last time I saw her (she lives overseas, so I don’t see her as often as I’d like) and when she came to the US to visit she surprised me with my own mini-version she had gotten made!
A pair of Kate Spade bow studs- they were a gift from my best friend and I wear them all the time- classic and sentimental
Although I don’t wear it. Its a bubble gum machine ring my husband got me while we were dating. It has a little smile face cut out. I knew he was the one for me at that time.
My fave piece of jewelry is a silver bracelet my mom bought me for graduation from Things Remembered. It has my initials and a little charm that I can customize (though I never remembered to actually have it customized!).
Without a doubt my high school class ring. I wear it every day. Before you think it’s one of those tacky things with a huge fake stone in the middle, it’s a gold signet ring with the school’s monogram. Simple, tasteful, and a wonderful reminder of the years I spent there and the friends I still cherish.
A ring with an engraving that translates to “If not now, when?”
Such a great give away! My grandmother gave me her ring when I was 8. I still wear it although two rubies have fallen out, I plan on replacing them with diamonds. It’s my favorite piece (besides my engagement ring)
Besides my wedding set, my favorite piece is a rose gold Burberry watch my husband suprised me with for Christmas. We had promised to do no presents last year – but he wanted to give me something special to remind me that I deserve nice things. Now, every time I have a big meeting at work or need an extra shot of courage to face the day, I slip it on and am reminded I am loved!

My favorite piece of jewelry is a ring that was made for my eighteenth birthday.
Hi! Fun contest! My favorite piece is a pearl necklace that belonged to my grandmother. Our family fled Iran during the revolution in 1979 and my grandmother had to leave almost everything behind. She had very few pieces with her in the U.S. so I have memories of her wearing the necklace and photos of her wearing the necklace, and when I wear it, I feel like she’s with me. It’s turned into a good luck charm for me on the days when I need a little more courage. Thanks!
My grandmother’s cameo
My favorite piece of jewelry is a ring my parents gave me for my 21st birthday (and Christmas and my 22nd birthday while they were at it). It’s an emerald (my birthstone) surrounded by a halo of diamonds in a platinum setting. It matches everything and I haven’t gone a day without it in 6 years!
Like lots of other women who commented, my favourite piece of jewellery is my filigreed diamond wedding ring – but I have plenty of lovely bracelets, including a sterling silver carved band that would look great displayed on a home like this.

My favorite piece of jewelry is a bracelet with black beads made of lava rock that I got on the top of Mount Vesuvius. There was a lady up there selling them – pretty awesome!
My favorite piece of jewelry is my first investment piece,a long gold necklace. It is simple, but has segments that have small bedazzled sections and larger baubles on it. It helps pull together all of my work outfits and looks great for going out.
My favorite piece of jewelry is my wedding ring. It belonged to my husband’s grandmother and survived 2 world wars. At one point it was broken up and made into 2 rings. When we got married, we decided to make it whole again. It is very simple eternity band but with a lot of history.
Aside from the obvious engagement ring/wedding ring answer, my favorite piece of jewelry is the peridot ring given to me by my parents at Christmas following the death of my grandfather. It was his birthstone and each time I look at it, I am reminded of him.
Thanks for the giveaway! My favorite piece of jewelry is the diamond initial “T” bracelet that my husband gave me after the birth of our son. 🙂
My mother-in-law gave me a small ruby-and-diamond pendant that she’d bought years ago and thought was now was “too small” for her since she’d put on weight. It’s the perfect size on me, and the vintage jewelry is so much nicer and better-quality than anything I’ve seen in a store lately! I love it and wear it all the time 🙂
Does my watch count? Without it, I’d be lost. If not, then my pearl studs…they go with everything.
