necklace set online

 What we think: As someone who doesn’t wear much jewelry beyond a wedding ring and earrings for special occasions, I appreciate how truly “everyday” Mejuri’s offerings are — and how well its prices reflect that philosophy. I got the croissant dôme hoops because I liked their rounded, spiral-ridge design and sculptural feel. They’re made from gold vermeil, a material that I’d never tried before, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. But they are surprisingly solid, despite the fact that they’re carved out on the inside. Being hollow also keeps them from feeling heavy in my ears. They aren’t irritating, which is rare for me, as someone with sensitive ears who doesn’t wear earrings every day. Style-wise, they’re a little on the flashy side for my taste, but I would definitely reach for them on days I wanted to make a statement.

For the necklace, I chose the Boyfriend Bold Chain, a 14-karat solid-gold chain made of delicate, narrow rectangular links. I love the way it looks on — casual but still noticeable. The clasp is a bit tricky to operate, simultaneously too small and too thick. I would have preferred a round clasp with a longer tab and a larger connecting hole, but since the chain is adjustable (up to 18 inches), I could have theoretically connected the clasp to one of the links instead. Still, it wasn’t a deal-breaker. And even though the chain feels and looks airy, it is sturdy. My son, who’s nearly 1, yanked on it hard a couple of times, and I never worried that he’d actually break it or rip it off my neck.

The pieces arrived nicely packaged, inside a small, white cardboard box with Mejuri branding that was itself contained within a white drawstring pouch.
