You've already got your spring dresses, shoe trends, and denim sorted, so what's left? Your new-season jewelry, of course. If you're on the hunt for beautiful yet affordable pieces to add to your collection, you might want to consider Penélope Cruz's latest collaboration with Swarovski. To get the scoop on the new line, I went straight to the source and tapped Cruz for her best jewelry tips.

When I asked Cruz about her favorite jewelry trend for spring 2019, she was quick to point out one in particular. "I love the mismatched earrings trend that has been everywhere this spring," she told Who What Wear. "The options for styling are truly endless, so everyone can design a set that is completely unique to them. Pieces like the collection’s Penélope Cruz MoonSun Drop Earrings feature both a moon and star symbols, creating an asymmetrical look that still feels sophisticated."

The new collection is an expansion to Cruz's existing Atelier Swarovski collaboration, introducing more affordable pieces into the mix. So why was this the time right to offer a lower price point? "My personal style tends to be more laid-back," Cruz told Who What Wear. "When I'm not on the red carpet, I don’t wear a lot of jewelry—just a special piece that means something to me. With this I mind, I wanted to make sure the collection offered pieces in styles that were more minimal and suited for everyday wear, in addition to the finer statement pieces released in February. I wanted to ensure that consumers everywhere were able to be able to build their own elevated jewelry collection, no matter what their budget."

Erin Fitzpatrick
Senior News Editor

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 12 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of senior news editor (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
