GOLD HOOPS
Gold hoops are an everyday essential you'll spot all the cool French girls wearing on the regular.
CAMEO PIECES
More recently, I've noticed French girls wearing cameo necklaces. These heirloom pieces add a cool vintage element to any look.
CRYSTAL EARRINGS
Just in time for the holidays, crystal statement earrings have exploded across Instagram.
GOLD CHOKERS
Instead of tight chokers, French girls opt for slightly longer styles with delicate chains.
CHAIN-LINK BELTS
Belts may not always be considered jewelry, but when they look like layered chain-link necklaces, they should be. Take a note from Parisians and wear them over everything from dresses to denim jackets.
LAYERED NECKLACES
When it comes to pendant necklaces, the more the merrier. Pile them on with styles of varying lengths.
