If you’re like me, your style changes as we shift into new versions of ourselves. What we liked 3 years ago may not have any relevance today. Change is good; change is needed, and change allows us to level up. As I level up my wardrobe, decor choices, and skincare routine, I want to switch up my jewelry as well to a more elevated new me.
As a lifelong silver jewelry wearer, the first thing I switched up was my metal of choice. I have graduated from sterling silver to 14K white gold, and I did this for many reasons:
1. I wanted to invest in higher-quality pieces.
2. Jewelry care played a significant role. Sterling silver tarnishes so easily, and the upkeep became too much.
3. My style evolved, and this was the best part – being able to go down the rabbit hole to find new jewelry for the new me.
I focused on boutiques that offered an eclectic mix of threader & drop earrings and their styles to choose from.
As a lifelong minimalist, I scoured the web for new places to find pieces to complement my new leveled-up collection. Specifically, I was searching for threader & drop earrings, as I tend to wear those styles more. Here are some sites that I purchased from.
Aurate.
They have a stunning collection of lab-grown diamond threader & drop earrings, which I recently purchased the emerald ones below. They also carry a selection of other gemstones and pearls, and I am drawn to their transparent pricing and sustainable ethos. The designs are all modern and sleek and a perfect fit for how I’m leveling up.

Firstly, they sell a lot more than rings! They have a fantastic selection of jewelry to suit all tastes, budgets, and styles. I love that it’s female-owned, and they have a healthy bridal selection. Although I was on the search for only threader and drop earrings, I found myself looking at other amazing categories they had, especially the bracelet below.

If you’re into gemstones, they have a fantastic array, including a great selection of pearls. The price points fit various budgets, and they bring a customer-first philosophy to their branding. They offer a wide selection of diamonds, including lab-grown and natural diamonds, and allow customers to build their jewelry pieces through a “Build Your Own” tool, which I found helpful when designing a piece I plan on gifting.
