20 Brands You Need to Add to Your Jewelry Box ASAP

Accessories — especially jewelry — are to outfits what butter is to bread — essential.

For many of us, the jewelry we wear is a perfectly subtle representation of who we are. Whether you're into wearing an important family heirloom that has been passed down for years, or sporting an ear full of piercings because you like to show off your edgy side, jewelry is a great way to show the world a little bit of your personality.

Plus, there is no denying that jewelry is the ultimate outfit completer. We all remember a time that we stared in the mirror for 20 minutes or more trying to figure out why our outfit didn't look right, only to throw on a pair of hoops and realize it was all about the earrings. So, whether you are in need of a few new timeless classics, or you are looking to add something bold and colorful to your jewelry box, we've round up the best jewelry brands of 2020 to check out now:
