As a Latina woman who loves nothing more than a great accessory, I can't exactly tell you silver was my go-to color before this year. All of the family heirlooms I wear and jewelry I've collected over the years are gold, so to suddenly become a silver advocate was mind-boggling, to say the least. I'll maintain this, though: I think I made the right choice, especially considering this year's unexpected accessory trend.
Over the last few months, I've noticed more and more of my favorite designers and creators making the switch from team gold to team silver. After seeing Bottega Veneta's viral Drop Earrings on nearly every single celebrity, the only one who made me truly want to buy them was Kylie Jenner, and sure enough, she was the only one who opted for the silver version. Let's just say I'm easily influenced.
While I've been waiting for them to arrive at my doorstep, I've been scouring the internet for the best pieces of silver jewelry—from ear cuffs to pendant necklaces—that make me feel like a chic Parisian. While gold jewelry will always have a time and place in my heart, silver is reigning supreme right now. And if you're not convinced after scrolling through these 28 incredible picks, I won't be surprised if you come to switch sides later on.
