Therefore, since you are probably walking a lot and exploring different stalls, it is essential that you choose jewelry that is lightweight and easy-to-wear. To look fabulous 24/7 and go from wooden shed to wooden shed, we recommend options that add a plot twist to your outfits immediately, without excesses, such as earrings Gorgonian circle, the pebbles one, two O three, or any of the studs (You can even combine several). There are many options you can play with. Pairs like Margot, The Bar o lus Anette They allow you to show off several different stagings.

You can choose a simple bet like our gold earrings, a little more festive like the Gorgonians, or a differentiator like any of the Colettes or the Calculate.
