My Favorite Things: 2020 in ‘Britt’s Pick’
December 29, 2020 by Brittany Siminitz
"To say at least one good thing about the year 2020: It held no shortage of good jewelry.
To look at my year’s roundup of Britt’s Pick, you’d think not much was amiss. Here these pieces are, bright and sparkling as ever, giving us all the good feels.
What gives me a good giggle, despite everything this year has brought, is the way my narrative changes—and rather quickly. January is all about yearning for travel and getting by on wanderlust-y jewels. Flash-forward to April, and it’s “What jewels would look best with sweatpants?” No one saw 2020 coming—most didn’t, anyway—and seeing how our minds processed information and how we as an industry adapted to the demands of both customers and ourselves is pretty incredible.
So naturally you’ll see plenty of talismans here, many things that would prove easy to wear at home. Other picks, though, offer inspiration and hope, prime examples of how jewelry can be so powerful.
Here’s hoping that 2021 is a better year filled with styles that are suited to actually going places (though I wouldn’t be mad pairing any of them with sweatpants, either). Thank you for following along with me yet again. Happy New Year.
