It’s true that some dream of having a collection of eye-popping and elaborate jewels and photo after photo of them wearing them like the royal ladies of Europe. On the other hand, there is room for jewelry that is elegant and valuable in its simplicity, to say nothing of being a whole lot cheaper than a tiara set with a thousand diamonds. Not only that, pictures of you wearing simple and tasteful jewelry can be as memorable as those of Princess Margaret wearing her over-the-top Poltimore tiara. Here are some types of minimalist jewelry to consider for your next photography session.

1. Dainty Gold Chain Necklaces

These delicate pieces of jewelry glitter under the light in ways that enhance any photo. Better yet, dainty gold chain necklaces are perfectly appropriate to wear for formal and casual events.

2. Tiny Diamond or Cubic Zirconia Stud Earrings

You’ll not only turn heads when you put on a pair of stud earrings embellished with tiny, sparkling diamonds or cubic zirconia. They make any photo you take instantly better.

3. Simple Stacking Rings

Beautifully wrought stacking rings always make you the center of attention. If you’re a hand model, they’ll make your hands and fingers look even better in a photo.

4. Thin Hoop Earrings

Thin hoop earrings can be bold and showy or so delicate they border on bashful. Whatever kind they are, hoop earrings make any photo you take unforgettable.

5. Sleek Bar Necklaces

Simple and shiny, a bar necklace reflects the light in an elegant way. The photo of you wearing one says, “I’m worth it.”

6. Minimalist Ear Cuffs

Ear cuffs aren’t as outré as they once were. You might even get away with wearing a minimalist ear cuff at a semi-formal bash. Wearing one for your headshot tells people, “Yeah, I’m just a little different.”

7. Geometric Pendants on Delicate Chains

The chain adds delicacy, while the pendant makes a statement. You’ll absolutely give off “Gentle but not afraid to shine” vibes in a picture.

8. Single Pearl Necklaces or Earrings

All you need is a single pearl on a necklace or an earring. It can be a white pearl, a blue pearl, a pink pearl or a black pearl from Tahiti. Choose the most perfect pearl you can find then sit for that perfect photo.

9. Hammered Metal Bangles

Hammered metal bangles take the light beautifully, and they make a bold yet tasteful statement in any photo.

10. Tiny Solitaire Pendants With Clear Stones

Few pieces of jewelry display the simple elegance of a pendant sporting clear stones, whether they be real gems, polished quartz or even cut crystal or glass. It immediately draws the eye. A solitaire pendant looks fantastic in a photo paired with an off-the-shoulder or daring plunging neckline.

11. Sleek Threader Earrings With Small Crystal Drops

Threader earrings are frankly unusual, for they’re for pierced ears and hang down from the front and back of your earlobe. Embellish them with crystal drops that sparkle whenever you turn your head. These earrings are bound to start conversations and make any photo that much more captivating.

12. Shiny Ball or Bead Bracelets

Bracelets made of shiny balls or beads are just fun to wear. A photo of you rocking these bracelets lets the world know you’re living your best life.

13. Minimalist Nose Studs With a Single Clear Gemstone

Like ear cuffs, nose studs aren’t as unusual as they used to be. Indeed, they can be rather conservative if they display a single, tiny, clear gemstone such as a minuscule but perfectly cut diamond.

14. Gold or Silver Minimalist Anklets

Anklets, or ankle bracelets, used to be a thing back in the day. There’s even a song about a boy giving his girl an anklet as a “symbol of my love.” If your feet are especially pretty, a photo of them half-sunk in the white sands of a beach with your ankles ringed with delicate gold or silver is just the thing.

15. Delicate Chain Bracelets Set With One or Two Small Gemstones

Delicate chains come in all sorts of styles, including filigree, faceted bars and round, rectangular or oval links. All of them can only be improved by the addition of one or two small, perfect gemstones. It doesn’t matter if they’re cabochon or faceted, clear as a diamond or opaque as jade. Moreover, they’ll give every photo a touch of magic.
