Recreate Katie’s exact jewelry look, from timeless to trendy.
If you’re one of the many readers who reaches out to Katie to ask where she shops, desperate for the details of her tour outfits and her favorite jeans, you’ll be happy to hear we have more of Katie’s iconic style picks for you. This time, we’ve rounded up some of her go-to jewelry pieces so you can recreate her looks with either the same exact items or look-alike designs.
Katie usually goes for simple jewelry that’s easy to layer and goes with anything from a dress and heels to jeans and a T-shirt. With the exception of a few bold baubles, the jewelry we’ve highlighted here is casual enough for everyday wear and easily pairs with what you already have in your jewelry pile, ahem, case. You’ll probably recognize most, if not all, of the jewelry on this list, like Katie’s endlessly versatile Becket + Quill chain or these elegant pearl earrings that look just like the pair Katie wore on her book tour. Katie looks for jewelry that balances value and quality, and almost everything on this list is less than $200. We also included a few alternatives to the high-ticket items that will make a similar impact without breaking the bank, like this eye-catching bangle from Gorjana.
Whether you’re looking for an outfit-making statement necklace or something subtle to slot into your daily jewelry lineup, read on for some of Katie’s faves.
Gas Bijoux Infinity Wrap Bracelet
Saks
This chunky set of three bracelets is tough to miss on Katie’s wrist. They’re elastic, which eliminates the extra 10 minutes it takes to get your own bracelet clasped in the morning. For a lower-priced option, try Tuckernuck’s near identical design.
Adriana Orsini Faux Pearl Necklace
Saks Off 5th
Katie wore a beautiful strand of pearls on the Atlanta stop of her book tour, but that wasn’t part of the plan. “The Atlanta Braves had just won the World Series, and Joc Pederson wore pearls on the field,” Katie told us. “My friend Trish lent them to me so I could make a joke to the audience. I didn’t bring them with me!” This strand is long enough to double wrap it, knot it, twist it, and generally experiment until you find the perfect look for you…or you can wear it simple like Katie did.
Made By Mary Live In Hoop Earrings
Made By Mary
Everyone — and we do mean everyone — needs a great pair of gold hoop earrings. We love this pair from Made By Mary, which are big enough to make an impact while still being lightweight enough to wear all day, all night, in the shower…you get the idea.
14kt Yellow Gold Leaf Pendant Necklace
Ross Simons
We found a lookalike of the dainty necklace that Katie wore on the TODAY Show. This one is made of 14k yellow gold and you can choose from a 16- or 18-inch chain, depending on where you want it to fall. We love how versatile and delicate it is, which means it’ll never go out of style.
Masako 14k Gold Akoya Pearl Drop Earrings
Saks Off Fifth
From her Philly tour stop to the promo photo for Next Question, Katie has worn almost identical pearl drop earrings everywhere. They’re beautiful, sophisticated, and more wearable than you’d think: Accessorize them with your hair down for a subtle amount of shine, or pair them with an updo for something a little more dramatic. And you can’t beat Saks Off Fifth’s price for real 14k gold and akoya pearls.
Becket + Quill Disc Necklace
Becket + Quill
You already know how much Katie loves Becket + Quill, which combines the best of costume and fine jewelry. It’s rare to see her without her simple yet striking disc necklace, which gets a hint of sparkle from the tiny moissanite stone (a diamond replica) in its center. The necklace itself is gold filled, which is just one step below solid gold but more durable than plated or vermeil. For a less expensive alternative, Made By Mary’s hand-stamped necklaces are both high quality and customizable.
Chain Link Necklace
Becket + Quill
Chain link necklaces rose in popularity in 2020, and it doesn’t seem like that’s about to change. Go for Katie’s exact look with another Becket + Quill fave, the Chunky Link Necklace, or scope out other offerings like the shrunken Small Link Necklace, or alternative chains like a circle or curb link.
Engravable Gold Disc
Gorjana
Katie recently got engraved necklaces for herself and her collaborators on Going There to celebrate the years-long project. Hers reads “TK” (or “to come” in publishing speak), her collaborator Lucy’s says “GT” for Going There, and her collaborator Adriana has “CHK” — which stands for “fact check” — on hers. For something just as clean and simple, go with Gorjana’s Bespoke Coin Charm, which can fit up to six characters and easily clips onto an existing necklace.
