Tennis Bracelets
No, you don’t have to play tennis to get in on this fashion statement. A tennis bracelet is a dainty bracelet composed of small gems linked together. Women accessorize with this piece of jewelry by wearing it alone, with other bracelets, or with a watch. Tennis bracelets should have a safety latch that fits over the clasp, sturdy chain links, and flexibility.
Cuff Bracelets

When it comes to the type of necklace you can choose gold, platinum, silver, gold-plated, etc. But a major component of a great pendant necklace is the length of the necklace.

This could be a simple costume jewelry pendant or your great-grandmother’s heirloom.
