Expensive jewelry or affordable? Price doesn't = wear frequency.

I tested 15 pieces to find what women actually wear.

Wear Frequency (30-Day Test)

Delicate gold necklace ($65): Worn 28/30 days

Statement earrings ($85): Worn 2/30 days

Simple gold studs ($45): Worn 30/30 days

Simple, everyday pieces win. Big statement pieces collect dust.

Stick to timeless, quality basics.
